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. Over the next few weeks we will be doing a sermon series examining this book in more depth. Today we went through the first 11 verses that Solomon wrote. In Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 Solomon’s proposition is that everything is meaningless. Earth (Ecclesiastes 1:4) Sun (Ecclesiastes 1:5) Wind (Ecclesiastes 1:6) Rivers (Ecclesiastes…

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.

A Biblical Perspective on Mental Illness

Because we live in a sin cursed world and because of the fall, our physical minds, bodies, and emotions are tainted and corrupted by sin. However as believers in Christ we have a dual message of hope both for now and for the future and we can pass that along. We don’t have to despair or to decide like the rest of the world often does that because someone suffers tremendously there’s no hope for them. There’s great hope for them.
