In the Vanishing series, Cam Stephens teaches from Ecclesiastes 2:18–26, where the Preacher explains how everything that is laboured for under the sun, ultimately, is left behind for others to enjoy without having worked for it. The Preacher explains that this too is vanity and lamentable. But we are reminded that only when we are in Christ can we truly enjoy our work and the fruit that comes from it.Series: VanishingScripture: Ecclesiastes 2:18–26Speaker: Cam StephensSubscribe for weekly sermons and biblical teaching from Grant Church.#Ecclesiastes #Vanishing #CamStephens #BibleTeaching #MeaningOfLife #Comparison #BiblicalWisdom #ChristianLiving #Solomon #GrantChurchWatch the complete service: https://www.youtube.com/live/-rwJiawSEBQWe would love to hear from you!Instagram: @grantchurch.caFacebook: grantchurch.caEngage on our website: https://www.grantchurch.ca

In this Vanishing series message, Dom Gibson looks at Ecclesiastes 2:1–11 and the Preacher’s search for meaning through pleasure, possessions, and achievements. Despite having freedom and resources, the Preacher finds that none of it offers lasting satisfaction or purpose. He explains how pursuing pleasure and success as ends in themselves is empty. Ecclesiastes shows the limits of worldly offerings and urges us to consider where we seek meaning and fulfillment. When desires become our focus, even good things can leave us empty. The message reminds us that life's true purpose isn’t found in ourselves or our accomplishments, but in God. It encourages us to look beyond temporary pleasures and find deeper satisfaction in knowing and trusting our Creator.Series: VanishingScripture: Ecclesiastes 2:1–11Speaker: Dom GibsonSubscribe for weekly sermons and biblical teaching from Grant Church.#Ecclesiastes #Vanishing #DomGibson #BibleTeaching #MeaningOfLife #Purpose #ChristianFaith #BiblicalWisdom #Solomon #GrantChurch #FindingMeaningWatch the complete service: https://www.youtube.com/live/wWc6zwfjGq0?si=evD0cZtJMk6dax_vWe would love to hear from you!Instagram: @grantchurch.caFacebook: grantchurch.caEngage on our website: https://www.grantchurch.ca

Cam Stephens explores Ecclesiastes 1:12–18 and the Preacher’s pursuit of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. While wisdom and education can be valuable gifts, Ecclesiastes reveals the danger of pursuing them as ends in themselves, without recognizing the God who gives them and the limits of human understanding.Cam unpacks the tension between pursuing wisdom and living in a broken world. The more the Preacher discovers, the more he recognizes the burdens and limitations of human knowledge. This passage challenges us to consider whether our pursuit of education, wisdom, and knowledge ultimately leads us toward God or becomes another way of finding meaning apart from Him.As we continue through Ecclesiastes, we are reminded that knowledge alone cannot provide the lasting purpose we seek. True wisdom begins by recognizing God as the source of all things and looking beyond what we can understand to the One who holds our lives and our world in His hands.Series: VanishingScripture: Ecclesiastes 1:12–18Speaker: Cam StephensSubscribe for weekly sermons and biblical teaching from Grant Church.#Ecclesiastes #Vanishing #CamStephens #BibleTeaching #BiblicalWisdom #Wisdom #Knowledge #MeaningOfLife #Solomon #GrantChurch #ChristianFaithWatch the complete service: https://www.youtube.com/live/27VhL1bhCmc?si=hQFGsKPhh15qP2_WWe would love to hear from you!Instagram: @grantchurch.caFacebook: grantchurch.caEngage on our website: https://www.grantchurch.ca

In the opening message of the new sermon series, Vanishing, Cam Stephens introduces the book of Ecclesiastes and explores Ecclesiastes 1:1–11. Traditionally attributed to King Solomon, this profound book of wisdom examines life's meaning, the limits of human achievement, and the pursuit of lasting purpose in a constantly changing world.Cam unpacks the literary style and central themes of Ecclesiastes, including the meaning behind the powerful phrase “vanity of vanities.” As the 'Preacher' reflects on life's repetitive patterns, the fleeting nature of human accomplishments, and the world's apparent cycles, we are invited to consider what truly lasts and where lasting meaning can be found.This message begins a journey through one of the Bible’s most honest and thought-provoking books. As we explore Ecclesiastes, we will be challenged to look beyond temporary achievements and worldly pursuits and discover what Scripture teaches us about life, purpose, and God.Series:VanishingScripture:Ecclesiastes 1:1–11Speaker:Cam StephensSubscribe for weekly sermons and biblical teaching from Grant Church.#Ecclesiastes #Vanishing #CamStephens #BibleTeaching #BiblicalWisdom #MeaningOfLife #VanityOfVanities #Solomon #GrantChurch #ChristianFaithWatch the complete service: https://youtube.com/live/UH9QLSHQeScWe would love to hear from you!Instagram: @grantchurch.caFacebook: grantchurch.caEngage on our website: https://www.grantchurch.ca

He emphasizes that this world is temporary and encourages believers to look forward to a new heaven and new earth filled with righteousness. Peter calls us to pursue holiness, stay vigilant against false teachings, and grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus. This message challenges us to wait actively, living with purpose and confidence in God’s promises.

In this message, Pastor Cam Stephens explores 2 Peter 3:1–9, where the Apostle Peter addresses those who doubt or dismiss the promised return of Jesus Christ. Peter reminds believers that Christ’s second coming is not a forgotten promise—it is central to the Christian hope, spoken of throughout Scripture by the prophets and by Jesus Himself.

Peter challenges Christians to remember God’s promises and to remain grounded in a sincere, sound faith while waiting for Christ’s return. Rather than interpreting God’s patience as a failure to act, we are invited to see His patience as an expression of mercy, giving people an opportunity to turn to Him.

This message encourages believers to live with an eternal perspective, confidence in God’s promises, and a faith that remains faithful while we wait for Jesus to return.
