"I'm so frustrated with all of this-- I am done!!" Sound familiar? In our frustration and discouragement with current events, difficult conversations, or even just the every day irritations, we don't always know where to turn. Do we run away from it all? Do we pursue temporary happiness? Or do we acknowledge the role of sin and cling to the Lord and His wisdom?

Welcome, and happy Father's Day to all the dads watching! We're glad that you're joining us this morning, and hope you find encouragement in God's Word. Continuing in chapter 7 of Ecclesiastes, we'll hear from Pastor Ryan about how through all the difficult things in life, God is the one who provides us with the strength we need. A better strength than we could have on our own!

"Our frustrated hearts long for answers to what's going on in our world. We want to know why this is happening...and what can we do to make it all stop." If this resonates with you, we invite you to tune in to our service this morning! Pastor Ryan will be taking us through a message from Ecclesiastes about how to find joy and freedom in the Lord, even when we can't control the challenges we face.

Today's message from Pastor Ryan dives into the question everyone asks: What legacy am I leaving behind? And what legacy matters the most? Join us back in Ecclesiastes to learn what a gospel focused life looks like, and why it's important.

This morning we are following up on Pastor Ryan's sermon from last week in Ecclesiastes chapter 7, as we seek to understand what true, biblical wisdom looks like. Is it just how much we know? Or is it about our character? And in difficult times like we're living now, how can these struggles build more wisdom in us?

Is it really "better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting"? That's what we see in our text from Ecclesiastes today, and we're going to dive in to understand it! We may find it hard to imagine a world where difficult things are better than easy things, but we hope you are blessed and challenged by this morning's message.
