Marketplace Ministry
Discipleship S.T.E.P.S.: Share
Scripture: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; – Colossians 3:23 (KJV)
We often make the mistake of separating our lives into ‘sacred’ (church/ministry) and ‘secular’ (work/school). But Paul reminds us that if we are doing our work ‘as to the Lord,’ then our office, our classroom, or our kitchen becomes a place of worship. Your primary mission field is exactly where you are sitting right now. Your excellence in your work, your integrity in difficult decisions, and your kindness to colleagues are powerful sermons that speak volumes.
Today, change your perspective on your daily routine. You aren’t just ‘clocking in’; you are serving the King of Kings. How would your attitude change if you knew Jesus was the one reviewing your work? By bringing your faith into the marketplace, you transform your daily grind into an offering that honors God and draws others toward His light.
Prompt: How can you view your current job, school, or daily environment as your primary mission field?
Action Step: Sharing the Gospel isn’t limited to church buildings; it happens primarily where we live, work, and play.
Next Step: Pray for three of your coworkers, classmates, or neighbors by name today.
