The Believer's Behavior Toward Bosses (Part 3) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

1 Timothy 6:1- Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. In this message we focus on the importance of giving honor to unworthy masters or bosses in your life. This will require the help of the Holy Spirit and an attitude of forgiveness for the Scrooges in your life. In his book, A Resilient Life, Gordon MacDonald speaks about his difficulty with forgiveness. He writes, “In the maturing years of my life, I learned much about forgiveness. Forgiveness, I came to see, is about cleaning up the memory by renouncing and flushing vengeful feelings about other people. Forgiveness is about surrendering the right for vengeance and retribution. It is about acknowledging that we are all failures in one way or another and that we stand on level ground with any offender before the cross, where God in Christ forgave us.” Beloved, what you cannot do in your own strength, you can do in the Lord’s strength. That strength will come if you will spend time with Him in the Word, in prayer, and surrendering your life to Him. There was a reason why Christians were to give respect and honor to their masters. Paul addressed this in this verse. We will examine this truth. This message was preached on Wednesday night, July 19, 2021, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
