Redemption Bonney Lake Sermon Podcast

Today we will be hearing a particularly special message from Pastor Ryan as we continue through our Ecclesiastes series, talking about what scripture says for when life gets unpredictable.

Many times life doesn't make sense, or just plain surprises us, and our plans fall apart. This morning our message from Pastor Ryan wrestles with the question "So what do we do about it?"

We're excited to have you join us for part 2 in our study of Psalm 27! When seeking comfort, we don't usually think of waiting as being the solution-- and yet it's exactly what the psalmist suggests. So we hope you are encouraged and challenged by this message from Pastor David, as well as the worship through song and reading of the Word.

In the dark and discouraging times, we all look for light. But what -- or Who -- do we run to in order to find that light? This week we're blessed to hear from Pastor David Lembke walking through Psalm 27, and the beautiful reminder of how God is our comfort, our shepherd, and our safe place.

When life doesn't go the way we think it ought to, when "bad things happen to good people", our first reaction is often confusion, frustration, or anxiety trying to make it all make sense. But once again the writer of Ecclesiastes has some challenging, yet important wisdom for us on responding with joy for all the things God has given us!

Good morning, and welcome to our Sunday YouTube service! We're glad you're here, and hope you find encouragement in this morning's message about faith. When things seem to be going wrong around us, it can be easy to feel hopeless or frustrated-- but God offers us a bigger picture. Tune in as Pastor Ryan takes us through the wisdom in Ecclesiastes about turning that hopelessness into faith!

Join us this morning for part 2 in our study through the topic of dealing with difficult authority in Ecclesiastes. Let's let wisdom be our guide through this season and beyond, to know the balance between seeking justice and trusting in God's sovereignty! "...we don't know the future-- but then we need to remember that we do know the One who does. And He will hold all men accountable."

It can be so easy to become frustrated with the way those in authority do their jobs-- this year's current events are no exception! But in God's perfect timing, we have come to the beginning of chapter 8 in our series on Ecclesiastes, and this book of wisdom has some challenging but important words on the subject. How do we respond when we disagree with the government? What is our responsibility as Christians? How do we make the mission of the Gospel the focus of our actions and conversations? Tune in to hear Pastor Ryan Wood walk us through God's thoughts for us.

"There cannot be a more important theme in a Christian's life than a theme of love. Love is at the very center of who we are as Christians." But what exactly does this mean? The world has a lot of ideas, but what is GOD'S standard of love? It may be a challenging standard, but we hope you tune in as Pastor David walks us through what the book of 1 John has to say about it.

This week and next we will be taking a detour from Ecclesiastes to talk about the wonderful book of 1 John, where Pastor David will dive into what God's love looks like, and how it can change us. Don't miss either part of this series!

We hope you are blessed today through the Word and worshiping with us.
