The One Thing

Why do you do matters more than what do you do. 

The Passage

Genesis 1:27-28; Proverbs 10:5, 13:4, 12:27, 16:26, 20:13, 24:27, 24:30-34; Proverbs 23:4-5; Colossians 3:22-24; Matthew 14:23; Mark 6:31; Matthew 11:19; 2 Corinthians 10:5

Know

• K1 Not “What do you do?” or “How do you do?” but “Why do you do?”. Take time to think about why do you do.

Grow

• G1 Why do we ask someone new “What do you do?”
• G2 If workaholism is work taken to the extreme and laziness is rest taken to the extreme, why is workaholism viewed as socially acceptable when laziness isn’t?
• G3 What’s the difference between someone who works hard and a workaholic? What might be some tell-tale signs?
• G4 Why do you think Proverbs says so many positive things about hard work and so little about the dangers of workaholism?
• G5 “Proverbs are probabilities, not promises” (The Bible Project) In what ways does this change how we read the book of Proverbs?
• G6 Read Colossians 3:22-24. Who is this written to? Who should we be working for? Why? (look for clues in the verses)

Show
