Introduction: Why Spend My Summer Here?

A New(?) Commandment?

Wrestle and struggle, listen and speak, but never give up on the Lord and His way.

Guest Speaker Vincent Rubio

Money isn’t everything, yet take diversified, consistent, appropriate risks to accumulate for worship through wealth.

Sit, walk, and stand in Wisdom incarnate even when the waves (paradoxes) of life threaten to drown you.

What kind of hands do you think God has?

Audio issue cut file short.

If you find Solomon’s conclusions hit a little to close to home in describing how you think about the world, Ecclesiastes is calling you to wake up and realize you’ve been in the prostitute’s house before it’s too late.

When you abandon looking at things from God's point of view (a revelational epistemology), life will lose all its transcendent meaning. Thus, Ecclesiastes confronts the downward drift of our eyes that trust our own sense of goodness more than God's.

When you really investigate life, you will find it does suck in countless ways, but don't miss God's many earthly joys He gives you as a gift pointing to ultimate good in Him.
