We often think that increasing our paycheck and living a more comfortable lifestyle will satisfy our desire for more fulfillment in our lives. In the fourth week of our series, Meaningless, Pastor Chris Emmitt examines Chapter 5 of Ecclesiastes. This chapter examines the pursuit of wealth by highlighting that it is never satisfying and should be treated as a gift rather than a goal.

Pastor Chris Emmitt continues our Meaningless series by looking at what Ecclesiastes says about friendship. God created us to live in relationship with Him and each another. This message will leave you encouraged that the messiness of real friendship is worth the meaning that is forged from it.

Life is filled with ebbs and flows, peaks and valleys and times of victory and defeat. In the second week of our series, Meaningless, Pastor Chris Emmitt examines Chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes. Chris describes the writings of King Solomon detailing the different seasons of life he experienced. Chris explains how God's scope for our lives is eternal and larger than we can comprehend while the sequence of our life is seasonal and more beautiful than we know.

We often fill our lives with hobbies, activities, and comforts with the expectation that we will be fulfilled and find purpose. In the first week of our series, Meaningless, Pastor Chris Emmitt examines Chapter 1 of Ecclesiastes. Chris describes how King Solomon indulges himself with luxuries but still finds his life meaningless without God. Chris explains how meaning and purpose are delivered from Jesus when we allow Him to saturate all aspects of our lives.

When our lives change because of our relationship with Jesus, sometimes the response of others is less than enthusiastic. How should we respond when that happens? Pastor Chris Emmitt looks to the story of a blind man who was healed by Jesus (John 9) to provide the answer.

Pastor Chris Emmitt focuses on the story of Paul and Silas (Act 16:22-30, 35-40) to show us that as Christ followers, we should pray and praise no matter the pain or the prison we find ourselves in. If we only pray to God and praise Him when we "felt like it," Satan will do everything he can to make sure we never feel like it. Lead with obedience and let your feelings follow.

Patience. It's something so many of us struggle with in life, especially during seasons of waiting. In this message, Pastor Chris Emmitt takes a closer look at Psalm 40:1-5 and gives us a series of questions to ask ourselves while we wait patiently for the Lord. By the way, your prayers do not go unheard.

In life, when we know what to expect we often lower our expectations.
