Witness at Work #1 | 1 Peter 2:18-25 | Pastor Tom Drion

This message begins a series on how Christians are to bear faithful witness in their place of work, drawing from 1 Peter 2:18–25. The focus is on servants in the first century and the instruction given to them as they lived and worked under authority, often in harsh and unjust conditions.The passage shows that Christian witness does not begin with speaking, but with visible hope expressed through conduct. Peter calls believers to practice submission in the workplace as a deliberate and ongoing way of life, not only to those who are good and reasonable, but even to those who are crooked or unfair. This submission is not driven by fear of people, but by fear of God and confidence in the future hope secured in Christ.By placing themselves voluntarily under authority, Christians demonstrate that their hope is not rooted in present comfort or control, but in the salvation God has given and the inheritance he has promised. Such obedience quietly adorns the gospel.Listen carefully, examine your own attitude to authority at work, and consider what your daily conduct reveals about where your true hope lies.
