Each week our pastors study diligently to deliver practical, thought-provoking messages from the Word of God.
The listeners are urged to remember God in their lives and not let external influences distract them from the most important priorities. This message highlights how easily we tend to forget the Creator and seek fulfillment in meaningless pursuits. At the conclusion of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon labored on the importance of remembering God throughout the entirety of our lives.

Read MoreThis message delves into the topic of chance and its influence on success and prosperity. In light of this, Solomon emphasizes the importance of wisdom over material wealth and tells a story of a wise, poor man who saved an entire city during a siege, not because of his wealth but because of his wisdom. The message encourages listeners to value wisdom and to be receptive to it, irrespective of its source.
Read MoreThe inevitability of death is a reality that comes for everyone, regardless of their position in life. Solomon asserts that there is an advantage in death for those who fear God, while the wicked will not fare well. However, those who are still alive still have an opportunity to choose; they have an opportunity to change.
Read MoreWisdom is a rare jewel; it is not easy to find. But when it is found, it will be evident in the life of the one who has it. It is the wise who know that authority is futile to work against. To do so is to work against God.
Read MoreIn this message, we explore the book of Ecclesiastes and the sovereignty of God. Solomon observes that bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people and wrestles with the idea of being controlled by God.

Ultimately, the message challenges us to accept God for who He is and trust in His plan.

Read MoreLife is full of vulnerabilities, and one of life's greatest vulnerabilities is loneliness.
Read MoreThere is so much injustice in the world, but we are in no place to judge God because we don't have all of the facts. He has His own plans and His own timetable. He makes all things beautiful in His time.
Read MoreTime is a resource one cannot acquire more of. It cannot be saved. There's no such thing as a time account. If you waste enough time, you end up wasting seasons. Waste enough seasons and you end up with a wasted life.
Read MoreA life given to the pursuit of pleasure and mirth will never fulfill. It is a destination that can never be reached. It will always leave you grasping for more. It is the journey, not life's destination, that deliver the best life.
Read MoreLessons from Ecclesiastes | The Practice of Rejoicing
Read MoreSolomon requested wisdom from God, and God, in turn, made him the wisest man who ever lived. Because Solomon could have asked anything of God but instead asked for wisdom, God gave him the things he didn't ask for in addition to the wisdom he did.

However, in Ecclesiastes we find an old man full of anxiety and emptiness. Solomon at one point in his life had a sensitive heart that was dependent on God, but a heart that had is not the same as a heart that has.
