Living Faithfully in a Broken System | Michael Newton
Ecclesiastes | Under the Sun
In this week’s message from Ecclesiastes 8–9, Michael Newton walks through one of life’s hardest questions: What do you do when life doesn’t make sense? When injustice seems to win, prayers feel unanswered, and outcomes don’t match your faithfulness, Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is broken, unpredictable, and often beyond our control. But even in uncertainty, God remains trustworthy.
This sermon explores how cynicism can quietly harden our hearts, why control can never truly give us peace, and how biblical faith is not certainty about outcomes—it’s trust in God’s character. Through the honesty of Solomon’s words and the hope of the gospel, we’re reminded that Jesus entered into our broken world, suffered injustice Himself, and conquered death through the resurrection.
If you’re walking through disappointment, unanswered questions, grief, or uncertainty, this message is an invitation to stop anchoring your hope in circumstances and start anchoring it in a faithful Savior. Because even when life is unpredictable, Jesus is still King—and that changes everything.
