I think many of us would admit that respect is something that has changed in recent generations. Not just respect for authority (i.e. parents, teachers, police, etc.) but within the Church. In Ecclesiastes 8:1-13, the writer speaks of obedience to the king’s (earthly) commands. For understanding, we must go deeper than the surface, which is what we’ll do on Sunday.

Ecclesiastes 5:8–6:12 shows us that chasing “more” — more money, more success, more recognition — never truly satisfies. Wealth can vanish, achievements fade, and even great blessings feel empty without God. But when we seek Him first and live in His presence, we find the joy, peace, and contentment our hearts are longing for.

We live in a world in which we are inundated with distractions but is there anything that we can do about it. The Scriptures give us clear direction in regard to devotion and who we should be devoted to. As we continue Don’t Waste Your Life, we’ll dig into Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 to tackle the need to eliminate distractions.

We live in a world completely affected by the reality of sin. We know this, but what do we do about it. The Apostle Paul reminds the Ephesians that there is a battle but not against flesh and blood. We, too, must remember this as we dig into Ecclesiastes 4 this week.

As we continue our journey through Ecclesiastes, we see that the writer becomes rather blunt in Eccl. 3:16-22. In this text, we discover that the end is truly inescapable, so what are we to do? Join us this Sunday to find out.

What started as a seed planted by God has grown into a thriving testimony of His faithfulness over six years of ministry. This Plantiversary, we're celebrating how God has orchestrated divine appointments, raised up leaders, and restored lives through your faithful obedience to His call. Drawing from Jesus' promise in Matthew 16:18 that "the gates of hell shall not prevail" against His church, we're reminded that your faithful labor—every act of service, every prayer, every investment in God's kingdom—produces exponential, eternal fruit as part of something truly unstoppable.

Work is probably something that you have a love/hate relationship with. We often enjoy the benefits of our work but not the act of it. Ecclesiastes as already mentioned our work (toil) multiple times, but in 3:9-15 we take a deeper look. What does the Scripture say our relationship with work should look like. Join us this Sunday to find out!

There are some experiences in our lives that we desire to last longer than they do, but there are probably others that we hope would end sooner. Regardless of what the “season” is, there is a life span to each that we encounter in our lives. Ecclesiastes speaks to many of these in the next message of “Don’t Waste Your Life.”

As we begin to move into specific areas of life, the Preacher of Ecclesiastes utilizes the phrase “striving after wind.” Not a typical phrase that we would hear in modern culture, but a reality that many of us probably find ourselves in. We’ll dig deep into Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:26 this weekend during our services. Grab your copy of the Word and join us!

What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life? These are questions that you have probably encountered at some point in your life, but what is the answer? The book of Ecclesiastes answers this question and many others by saying “Don’t Waste Your Life!” We’ll kick off this new series on Sunday.
