The Limitations of Human Wisdom
Ecclesiastes 9:1-10:20 Wisdom does not spare anyone from death (Ecclesiastes 9:1-10). Wisdom does not prevent unexpected events (Ecclesiastes 9:11-12). Wisdom is unappreciated (Ecclesiastes 9:13-16). A wise reputation is easily tainted (Ecclesiastes 9:17-10:20).
The Emptiness of Wealth
In Ecclesiastes 5:1-6:12 Solomon talks about how wealth is unreliable: Wealth can be lost through rash vows Wealth can be lost to a corrupt government Enough is never enough Wealth attracts parasites Wealth can be lost through bad investing Even if a person retains their wealth for a lifetime, life is brief Enjoy what God HAS given you
Time Is Not On Our Side
There are four specific frustrations related to time that we see in Ecclesiastes 3:1-22: Timing (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11a) Limited Perspectives (Ecclesiastes 3:11b-15) Injustice (Ecclesiastes 3:16-17) Death (Ecclesiastes 3:18-22)
Everything is Meaningless
Ecclesiastes is one of the most needed books in our society and culture right now because of its willingness to take an honest look at the darkness in our world.

Have Mercy on Me, O God
After Nathan confronts King David about his sin with Bathsheba, David confesses his guilt to the Lord in Psalm 51. Just like David, we can take refuge in God’s mercy through repentance.
God’s Kingdom
Psalm 145:1-21 is a Psalm about God as a king. This Psalm teaches us several things about God’s kingdom: God’s reign is cross-generational (Psalm 145:4-7). God’s reign is merciful (Psalm 145:8-9). God’s reign is testified by the saints (Psalm 145:10-13). God’s reign is compassionate (Psalm 145:14-20).
From Complaining to Confidence
We begin a sermon series looking at some of the Psalms. We’re starting by looking at a psalm that is actually in the book of Habakkuk. Habakkuk has an attitude of facing the next coming day with an attitude of resilience.
Words of Trust
We do live in a difficult, trying time. For followers of Christ, this is a time for us to grow closer to God. It’s a time for us to shine the light of Christ as we trust in Him.
Jesus was the Righteous Sufferer
The God of the universe carried out a plan in time and space that bought redemption for any that put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. God’s perfectly righteous son bore a punishment meant for the worst of criminals. That’s the scandal of the cross.
