Restoration: Where New Life Begins

Wisdom--Work and Wealth that Worship

• John Baldwin • Season 3 • Episode 25

🎙 Episode 9: Work and Wealth That Worship

Text: Proverbs 6:6–11; 22:29; 3:9–10; 11:24–28
Theme: Honoring God with diligence and generosity at every stage of life
Key Idea: The way we work and the way we handle what we earn are both acts of worship.

Overview:
In this episode, we explore the biblical connection between our labor and our stewardship. Proverbs teaches us to look at the diligence of the ant (6:6–11), the excellence of skilled work (22:29), the call to honor God with our firstfruits (3:9–10), and the life-giving cycle of generosity (11:24–28).

We’ll consider how laziness drains life, while diligence honors God and benefits others. We’ll also see that wealth is not simply about accumulation—it’s about stewardship, generosity, and trust. When we tithe, save wisely, and give freely, we declare with our actions that God is our true Provider.

Practical applications are given for every life stage: students learning discipline, workers pursuing excellence, families practicing tithing and giving, and retirees leaving a legacy of generosity. The episode closes with a reminder that whether we’re at our job, in our home, or managing resources, everything we do is an opportunity to worship the Lord with our whole lives.
