    Work, Part 1

    25/06/2026 | 25 mins.
    This week in Proverbs, we delve into the intriguing concept of productivity and explore the life lessons we can learn from a rather curious character, the 'sluggard.'
    Join us as we contrast this seemingly comic figure with the wisdom of nature's diligent workers—the ants—and uncover how we can apply these teachings to enhance our own productivity. Pastor Colin challenges us with four pivotal questions: What do I need to begin? Where do I need to stay focused? What do I need to complete? And when do I need to rest?
    If you're seeking to become a more effective and productive person or merely looking to glean insight from scripture into practical living, this episode is for you. We continue to discover how love serves as the profound motive behind our work and delve deeper into the virtues of living a purposeful life according to God's plan.
