How to Build a Wordpress Theme - No code covered for the 'display_on_homepage' checkbox in the front-page.php slider loop?

This has been a fantastic course. Thank you Zac for breaking things down in such an engaging and informative way.

I have just completed Stage 6 and it occurred to me that the slider content on the homepage is being pulled into the slider regardless of whether the 'display_on_homepage' checkbox custom field is selected or not in the 'Work' posts.

How can I run the loop in my front-page.php so that it filters according to the custom field value? That is, so that it only displays posts in the 'work' type if they contain the custom field value 'yes' for the 'display_on_homepage' field. What would be the syntax for doing this? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
