Christian Careers Day: Working for the Boss
1 May 2023

#CCD2023 #ChristianCareersDay #WorkingforJesus #WorkingfortheBoss
  • Intro

    The Bible's expectations for every Christian with regards to our submission to authority is pretty clear - Ephesians 6.5 for instance commands obedience of Christian slaves to their 'earthly masters' in Christ. But what does this look like in the modern context, especially given that we are no longer slaves? At the same time, some Christians seem to be a little confused about work when they work to please their bosses all the way through Sunday, 'neglecting to meet together' (Heb. 10.25f) with their church. The days of famed heroes of the faith like Eric Liddell, who gave up on an Olympic gold medal opportunity so he could be at church, seem to be over.

    Clearly, Christians making big decisions about work (that will lead to habit-forming patterns in life) need to be gripped by the Gospel to be working for Jesus when they are at their jobs. What will we say when asked about our priorities in the job interview? Have we properly studied the industry and its effects on our Christian life as we choose the subjects of study that would qualify us for it? Christian Careers Day is here to help us think theologically and practically about the life we are meant to live as we Work for the Boss.

    "No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." - Luke 16:13

    Christian Careers Day (CCD) is an annual day of talks, workshops, and consultation sessions for Christians to make God-glorifying decisions in terms of work. Whether you are a high-school student or a young working adult, Christian Careers Day is for you. Expect to be encouraged at CCD to live your whole life for Jesus. Parents seeking guidance for their children are also welcome to join anytime.

    Every Labour Day on May 1, discover what "working for Jesus" really means practically with 2 talks and up to 58 job-specific workshops to choose from! Meet experienced Christian working professionals who can give you real world insight from a biblical perspective. Ask questions and get the answers you need to be committed to your calling as a Christian.

    This year, Christian Careers Day will be held fully physically again at Luther Centre!
