Isaiah 60:1-14
We don't usually think of work as bringing glory to God. We usually think of praise and ministry as things that bring God glory. When people heard "New Jerusalem", it would be like someone saying to you, New Philadelphia. That is what God is working towards. It is not a glorified church service. We aren't just singing praise. It is an actual city, with life, culture, civilization...renewed.
This New Jerusalem is an international city. You see all these nations and regions represented in the vision of the new city. The ships of Tarshish represented the height of human pride. They were the Goldman Sachs of their times. This is very controversial. These camels are the maserati's of their day. A sportscar in heaven? It is a very metropolitan vision.
Bringing faith to work is more than just evangelism.
Three points
Your motivations toward work
The transformation starts with community
The work itself
