Playing Church

March 2, 2025
Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 warns against superficial worship—offering empty words, making rash vows, and going through the motions without true reverence for God. Worship isn’t about performance or routine; it’s about drawing near with a heart that fears the Lord. This passage challenges us to examine whether we are truly worshiping or just “playing church.”

Stronger Together

February 23, 2025
Life is not meant to be lived alone. Ecclesiastes 4:4-16 reminds us that isolation leads to emptiness, but community brings strength, support, and encouragement. In the local church, we find companions who lift us when we fall, walk with us through trials, and spur us on in faith. Just as "a cord of three strands is not quickly broken" (v. 12), we are stronger together, united in Christ. This sermon will explore how biblical community equips us to endure, grow, and thrive as we follow Jesus together.

That Ain’t Fair

February 16, 2025
In Ecclesiastes 3:16–4:3, Solomon wrestles with the reality of injustice in the world. Corruption exists where justice should prevail, yet he reminds us that God will judge both the righteous and the wicked in His perfect timing. Though oppression and suffering may seem unchecked, we trust that God sees all and will bring ultimate justice. This passage challenges us to rest in God’s sovereignty, even when evil appears to prosper, knowing that His judgment is sure, and His timing is perfect. Our hope is not in this world but in the righteous Judge who will make all things right.

The Lord of Time

February 9, 2025
Our life is full of times of joy and sorrow, gain and loss, life and death. In Ecclesiastes 3:1-15, we are reminded that God is sovereign over every moment, from birth to death and everything in between. He orchestrates all things according to His perfect timing and purposes. In a world often filled with uncertainty, this truth invites us to trust Him completely, both in times of blessing and in seasons of hardship. This sermon will highlight God's unchanging reign over life's rhythms and explore how His sovereignty is a source of peace and confidence. When we understand that nothing escapes His control, we can rest assured that every season, whether joyful or painful, fits into His good and redemptive plan.

Life and Labor

February 2, 2025
In this passage, Solomon wrestles with the futility of life and labor when disconnected from God. He laments toiling endlessly, only to leave the fruits of his labor to others. Yet, in the tension, he knows this truth: true joy in life and labor comes when God is at the center. This sermon invites us to reframe our perspective on work and daily living—not as meaningless striving, but as gifts from God to be enjoyed for His glory. When we recognize that every moment and task is an opportunity to worship and depend on Him, we discover purpose, peace, and lasting fulfillment.
