Text: Ephesians 2:10

  1. The Christian is a Worker for Christ.
    • A Christian has work to do.
    • Some act as if there were nothing important to do.
    • Others declare, “I served so many years and I’ve done my part.
    • Some compare their work with that of other Chris-tians.
  2. The Christian is to be a Zealous Worker.
  3. Jesus condemned the church at Laodicea (Rev 3:15-19).
  4. Paul’s argument for Jesus’ resurrection from the dead (1 Cor 15).
  5. Jesus’ vocabulary was filled with action words.
  6. The Christian is to be a Zealous Worker of Good Works.
    • The Christian should not just be busy, but busy doing the right things.
    • The Christian must create an appetite for good works.
    • Any good work the Christian is capable of doing must be zealously performed.
  7. God can do great things with small things!
