Fairview Presbyterian Church (PCA) Sermons

Our intern Dalton Vetter takes us through 1 John 3:4-10 to see that Christians are to be those who practice righteousness, and we are able to do so because of the righteousness of Christ which has been imputed to all those who believe in Him.

What do we do when we are severely discouraged or even depressed? Psalm 42 is here to help urging us to remember God and to hope in God.

In Chapter 7, Solomon uses a number of better than statements to urge us to consider what is really important in life under the sun. Give a listen and be blessed by the reading and preaching of God’s Word.

Ecclesiastes proceeds with another vanity, that of wealth. Specifically Solomon helps us see that the love of money is the problem; it simply will not satisfy. Rather than clinging to wealth, let us cling to Jesus, who promises far more than this life has to offer. And unlike our wealth, life in Christ is eternal.

In the fifth chapter of Ecclesiastes, Solomon addresses worship. As you listen, also consider the words of Hebrews 10:28: “Let us offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe.”

Continuing in our sermon series through Ecclesiastes, we look at a section about relationships. In a fallen world, we need wisdom in relating to one another, and God supplies such wisdom to those who will listen to the Teacher. Give a listen and be blessed by the reading and preaching of God’s Word.

When Joshua took over leadership of Israel after Moses, God knew just what Joshua would need to hear - be strong and courageous. How can we have such courage? Joshua 1:1-9 calls us to remember 4 things: God’s promises, power, presence, and precepts. Give a listen and be strengthened by God’s Word.

Moving forward in Ecclesiastes, we see the Teacher covering some challenging topics. In this particular sermon we hear his observations regarding injustice and death. We should be reminded that Jesus suffered injustice on our behalf and because of his atoning work and the grace of God to work faith into our hearts, we are promised not everlasting death, but everlasting life.

Pressing on through Ecclesiastes, we arrive at a section that’s all about time. What we should understand about God from this section is that he is sovereign over every moment of our lives. And in those moments, we learn how we are to live, fearing him with complete reverence and awe.

Ecclesiastes presents life as it really is - the good, the bad, and the ugly. For this reason, many have found the book to be a difficult read. But at the end of chapter 2, we see that this book speaks of joy, too. Give a listen and let the joy of the Lord be your strength.
