We live in a world that does everything it can to avoid the topic of death.

We hide it behind hospital doors, sanitize it with euphemisms, and distract ourselves with constant entertainment. But the ancient teacher in Ecclesiastes refuses to look away.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas reminds us that death us utterly meaningless without Jesus

In the section we are looking at today, chapters 7 through 11, the Solomon holds up a mirror to the 'wisdom' of this world.

He shows us its power, but he also shows us its painful limitations. He shows us that wisdom can make you successful, but it cannot save your soul.

Money, wealth, and labor are ultimately meaningless when pursued as an end in themselves—but find their true purpose and joy only in the context of relationships and, ultimately, in relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

On this journey through Ecclesiastes, Solomon has visited the courtroom, the marketplace, the highway, and the palace.

Now he pays a visit to the temple, that magnificent building whose construction he had supervised.

Instead of truly worshipping God, Solomon sees people just going through the motions.

We live in a time of deep political disillusionment.

Every election cycle promises change, yet injustice seems to persist.

Every protest movement calls for reform, yet new forms of oppression emerge.Social media brims with outrage, yet genuine transformation feels elusive.

300 years before Christ, Solomon observed the same cycles we see today.

We live by the clock. From the moment our alarms wake us until we collapse into bed, our lives are measured in seconds, minutes, hours.

We feel the pressure of time—too much of it in seasons of boredom, never enough in seasons of joy.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas reminds that without God, time is a wheel spinning in vain and without Jesus, our days are just counting toward an end.

We live in the land of the American Dream—that promise that through hard work, determination, and initiative anyone can achieve prosperity, success, and happiness.

But thousands of years before suburban sprawl and corner offices, a king in Jerusalem conducted the ultimate experiment in human achievement.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us that apart from Jesus, the American Dream is meaningless.

We live in the most advanced, connected, comfortable age in human history.

Yet rates of anxiety, depression, and existential despair are skyrocketing.

We have more, but we feel it means less. We are chasing thewind.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas begins our series through the book of Ecclesiastes with a reminder that everything is meaningless without Jesus.

Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us on the last Sunday of 2025 as we explore three dimensions of the “stone of help”: the crisis that precedes it, the commemoration that proclaims it, and the confession that perpetuates it.

Join us as our NextGen Leader Rachel Jones shares a Christmas with the kids in attendance.
