In Ecclesiastes 4:13-16 Solomon writes 2 ways to ensure that you are motivated by character, and not by achievement. First, we must be humble enough to grow. Growth often takes much humility. The arrogant king is the one who stops growing, but the humble king will continue to grow. Second, we are to live in obedience to God because all of us will be forgotten by people. Our earthly legacy will not last. Maybe it will survive a generation or two, but in the end our legacy will be forgotten. This challenges us to live our life in obedience to God, and remain humble enough to the end of our lives. This comes from a fear for the lord that will cause us to turn away from evil and towards Jesus.

Pastor Matt preaches through Ecclesiastes 4:13-16. Solomon writes 2 ways to ensure that you are motivated by your character and not your achievements. First, we are to be people who are humble enough to grow. Growth will take place through humility first, because of our need tor recognize our wrongs. Second, we are to live in Obedience to God because all of us will be forgotten by people. People will be forgotten, and time will pass. However, life with God is eternal and this means we are to live in obedience to Him.

This week Pastor Matt takes us through Ecclesiastes 4:4-12. Here we see 2 practical ways that God accomplishes His plan. First God accomplishes His plan in you through others. You were created for others, and you see that from the earliest pages of Scripture in Genesis 1:26. Second, God accomplishes His plan by what He has given you to serve others. What you have been given and what you have has been given to you so that you can serve others and reach them with the Gospel. It is not an accident or by your skills that you have obtained all that you have.

This week Pastor Cam takes us through John 4:31-38 where Jesus discusses the calling that has been placed on His life. Jesus then gives 2 roles for the disciples as they follow in the calling that has been placed on their lives. The first role is to be the harvester. There are some who serve in the role of harvester, where they have the responsibility of examining the fruit and picking the fruit that is ready to be harvested. The second role is the role of the believer who has been called to being a sower. The sower has the responsibility of sowing seeds that may one day lead to fruit. Their role is not harvesting, their role is to plant seeds.

This week Pastor Blake takes us through 1 Samuel 15 to see what the evidence in obedience is. He shows us that desire is an evidence of obedience. Then he shows us through this passage that worship is a clear evidence of obedience. Finally, he shows us that fear is an evidence of obedience.

We live in a world where oppression can be seen all around us. Oppression reveals two things, the first thing it reveals is the truth of the human condition. Humans are fallen, and in our fallen state we find ways to oppress the weak. Second, it reveals the limitations of the world. There are limitations in this world due to the fallen nature of the world.

2. Our World is Ending But God's Plan is Not

First, Hannah understood that her son belonged to the Lord. Second, Hannah's commitment to God came at an emotional cost. Third, Hannah prayed for her child more than she parented him. Finally, Hannah supported her son more than she provided for him.

First, God has marked life with different seasons. Going through life you are going to have different seasons. Second, God has created life to be lived by faith. Third, God has given you your life to be enjoyed, and finally God is ultimately in control.
