1. What is something you do that really makes you “feel God’s pleasure”? What work tasks give you a deep sense of personal satisfaction?

2. Read Genesis 2:15, then Genesis 3:17. Did you think work resulted from the fall of man? Since it is the ground that was cursed and not work, how does this affect your view of work?

3. Read Luke 14:33. How do you think Jesus intends for us to implement this command into our lives?

4. What is your ambition? Will it survive your physical death? Will it pass the Luke 14:33 test?

Read 1 Thessalonians 4:1, 7, 9-12. What should be “more and more” the ambition of a genuine Christian? (See also Colossians 3:22-24)

6. What area of your life have you not yet surrendered to Christ? Are you the owner of your career or the “branch manager”?
