Proverbs 10:4; 24:30-34; 12:11; 10:9

This Sunday in our Psalms and Sayings series, we’re diving into what the book of Proverbs has to say about something that affects every single one of us—work. Proverbs isn’t just a collection of ancient sayings; it’s wisdom passed down from a father to his child, meant to be lived out skillfully in the real world.

From God’s design for work in Genesis to the practical warnings against laziness, Solomon paints a clear picture: diligence brings reward, while dishonesty and sloth lead to ruin. Proverbs doesn’t stop there—it calls us to be people of integrity. To be the same in private as we are in public, at home and at work.

We’ll explore how this kind of wisdom shapes our daily grind, why integrity matters to God, and how Jesus models a perfect life of hard work and moral wholeness.
