February 22, 2026 // REALationships: Take This Job And Love It
1. What’s the worst job you’ve ever had? What made it the worst? What did that experience teach you about work, people, or yourself?
2. This series was based on Ephesians 5:21 where Paul wrote: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” What makes mutual submission difficult in workplace relationships? Where do you see pride or self-interest getting in the way?
3. Paul challenges Jesus followers to work as if they are working for the Lord rather than people. How might your attitude or effort change at work if you truly saw Jesus as your ultimate boss?
4. In the message, Garry mentioned that work is not a ‘necessary evil’ but part of how we reflect God’s image. Do you agree or disagree? Why? In what ways can your everyday work–even the parts you don’t enjoy–have purpose and meaning?
5. Think about a time you experienced either a great boss or a difficult one (without naming names!) What did that experience teach you about how authority should (or shouldn’t!) be used?
6. This week, before you start each workday, take 10 seconds and pray, “Jesus, today I’m working for you. Help me serve others with integrity, enthusiasm, and humility.” Then look for one intentional way each day to reflect Jesus in your attitude, effort, or interactions.
