Passage: Ecclesiastes 2:4-11

This was recorded live in Grand Rapids, MI on October 6th, 2024.

This week’s message explores the theme of true happiness and satisfaction, using the biblical story of Solomon from Ecclesiastes. We reflect on how people often seek happiness in temporary pleasures—such as wealth, laughter, projects, or relationships—but find them unfulfilling. We find through the scripture that lasting happiness can only be found in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ! And that true joy comes not from worldly pursuits but from living in, through and from, the person of Jesus.
