Pastor's para 13 November

Last Sunday, I preached on the Bible as a resource for our workplace. Halfway through my sermon I thought; “Steve, it would have been really useful and practical if you had some practical tips.” But by then it was too late, so during the week I collected a few resources. Enjoy!
