Stewardship of

Work
Colossians 3:22-24

God designed
humans to work.

Then God said, Let us make

man in our image, after our
likeness. And let them have
dominion over the fish of the
sea and over the birds of the
heavens and over the livestock
and over all the earth and over
every creeping thing that
creeps on the earth.
Genesis 1:26

The Lord God took the man

and put him in the garden of
Eden to work it and keep it.
Genesis 2:15

Work is a gift
from God.
