Program Review: Going on Vocation (Part 2)

If you are reading this review on the Sabbath, then I would like to wish you a Sabbath filled with the courage to shine the light of Jesus Christ wherever you go.

This week’s review is for part two of the two part program called, Going on Vocation.

Description

Through personal stories of ordinary people at work and expert insight and advice from some of today’s leading voices on faith and work, you will discover that vocation or calling is about much more than your paid job. This series will challenge you to look at work in a whole new way and reap the positive returns of connecting your identity in Christ to your daily vocations.

We are reminded in the beginning of the program that our first calling is our faith in Jesus Christ - everything else follows that.  Amen.

Some other good reminders are based on Matthew 25:37,40 and 1 Timothy 6:10 - we are called to serve our neighbours, because through them, we are serving Jesus Christ.  

There was also emphasis on Christian ethics concerning the choice we make as employees and employers.  Josiah Wedgwood, the English potter was referenced, as a good example of Chrisitan ethics in the workplace.  

There are several short interviews with peopøle who give excellent tips and testimonies about how Christians ought to conduct themselves, no matter where they are. 

I like how we are consistently reminded to rely on the Lord for strength and wisdom and to serve the Lord, through our work, above all else.  Psalm 73:24-26 and Ephesians 6:7 are shared to support this view.  

A comment about one of the roles of fellowship struck a cord with me.  It was said that fellowship allows accountability and affirmation.  What a blessing it is when these things are in place in a local church.

I really enjoyed watching this two part series.  Going on vocation, reminds us through scripture, who we belong to and who we are serving.  This enables us to look at the world through the Bible and not through the lens of our culture, upbringing, education, job or social status.

Part 1 and Part 2 are on the same file that you download if you buy the program via Vision Video’s website.

Thank you for reading this review. Until next time - peace be with you.
