About this episode

Pastor Sean Perron discusses the dangers of laziness and its spiritual implications based on Proverbs 24.

Where are you lazy? In this message from Proverbs 24, Pastor Sean Perron stares at a sluggard's overgrown field to reveal three lessons: laziness reaps hardship slowly over time until your field is ruined with thorns and thistles—the thief comes invisibly through a little scroll, a little social, a little me time until poverty arrives like a robber; laziness reveals our hearts by choosing our schedule over God's desires rather than fearing him and walking in the good works he prepared for us; and laziness requires lordship by submitting to Jesus instead of being zealous for your own pleasure.
