Noah Herrin teaches that God created both work and Sabbath as complementary gifts: we are meant to work hard and Sabbath hard. He traces work back to Genesis (work as part of God's design) and warns of two corruptions the devil uses against work - laziness and the idolatry of work. Herrin urges Christians to see work as worship (Colossians 3:17) while protecting relationships and identity from being consumed by career. He defines Sabbath as a 24-hour pause for delight and worship that points us back to the finished work of Christ rather than our own performance.
“The point of a Sabbath is actually the cross... reminding our soul that it's not our works but it's the finished work of Jesus.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Work is a God-given vocation - do it creatively, purposefully and as worship (Colossians 3:17). Protect one 24-hour Sabbath each week devoted to delight and worship; plan it and refuse other commitments. Avoid laziness, and also avoid idolizing work so that relationships and spiritual rest are not sacrificed.

Do Your Job | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that work is part of God's good design - given before the Fall - and should be understood as worship, not punishment. He develops that idea by showing how the Hebrew word avoda links work and worship, urging Christians to do their jobs with excellence as an act of service to God.
Wake Up | Noah Herrin at WAY REVIVAL '26
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 26 (with other biblical references) calling Christians to "wake up" spiritually. He centers on Jesus in Gethsemane and the jarring detail that the disciples fell asleep when asked to keep watch, drawing three main reasons for their sleep: they got comfortable with God's presence, casual with holiness, and careless with their time.
God Loves Your Enemy | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 19 using the story of Zacchaeus to call Christians out of secrecy and into mission. He contrasts a "secret agent" faith with the biblical mandate to be visible witnesses, grounding that in Matthew 5, Matthew 28 and Acts 1.
