Adorning the Gospel: A Christian Theology of Work
The sermon offers a robust, practical application of [Titus 2](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Titus+2&version=KJV), urging believers to serve with integrity and excellence. However, the homiletical structure relies heavily on moral exhortation and human effort, failing to explicitly anchor these duties in the regenerating grace of the Gospel. While the call to holiness is biblically sound, the presentation risks reducing Christian living to a system of self-improvement rather than a response to sovereign grace.
Biblical Parallel (Archetype): Pergamum — The sermon exhibits homiletical compromise by relying on moralistic exhortation and human effort to drive Christian living, rather than anchoring the call to holiness in the finished work of Christ and the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. This reflects a 'Pergamum' state where the Gospel is subordinated to moral duty.
