In this message from Proverbs 6:6–11, Pastor Casey McCall challenges the common cultural view of work as a "necessary evil" or a means to an end, showing instead that work is a "necessary good" established by God before the fall of man. By looking at the example of the ant and the warnings against the "sluggard," we learn that diligence is not just a personality trait, but a moral issue of living in accordance with how the universe was designed to operate.The sermon identifies the dangers of laziness—from negative life consequences and ruined relationships to the "reality distortion" that causes us to chase fantasies rather than present faithfulness. Ultimately, we find our greatest example and hope in Jesus Christ, the master workman who fulfilled all righteousness through His life of labor and His finished work on the cross. Because of Jesus, we can find dignity and worship in our work, knowing He has redeemed us from our failures and called us to live faithfully in the fields where He has placed us.🖥️ Learn more at ashlandcc.net📱 Stay connected with us on Facebook and Instagram!Subscribe for more sermons and share to encourage others!#Proverbs6 #HardWork #BiblicalWisdom #Faithfulness #AshlandCommunityChurch #laziness #Gospel
