Whether your are a hedonist or a moralist, according to Ecclesiastes, pleasure all ends up in the same place. It ends in absurdity. Why is this so? Because the gifts of the good creation were never meant to be a substitute for the giver. Listen to Pastor David preach on Ecclesiastes 2:1-11.

"The more you know" is a popular way to subtly say that our lives are improved by knowledge. Yet every day, in big and small ways, we see the opposite being true. In this sermon from Ecclesiastes 1:12-18, the Preacher is decidedly disenchanted with wisdom; and also mad at God. Listen to Pastor David as we consider the absurdity of wisdom.

Ecclesiastes is unlike any other book in the Bible. It is full of poetry, proverb, confusion, frustration, and offers no real resolution. So why study it? Because it is Lesson 1. The rest of the Bible is Lesson 2. Pastor David introduces us to the book, and why it is so important for us to study it.

Concluding our summer series in the Psalms, we consider what the goal of our petitioning prayers are: rest. But in order to rest, we may first have to wrestle with our own hearts and confront what is distressing us. We do this before a God who hears our prayers, and attends to them. Listen to Pastor David preach from Psalm 4.

How do we know the will of God? How do we make decisions? In Psalm 25, we find that there is not so much a step by step for the way to know the will of God so much as the type of person God is going to direct. Listen as Pastor David preaches from Psalm 25.

We move to Psalms of Petition, where we explore what it means to pray our future into our present. Join us as Pastor David preaches through Psalm 28.

Justin Smith, Campus Pastor with RUF at the University of North Texas, continues our summer Psalms series by looking at Psalm 96.

When we are in the deepest waters, when we are feeling like our entire world is collapsing down around us, we tend at those moments to not pray. But it is in those moments when prayer becomes our greatest source of help and strength. Listen as Pastor David preaches through Psalm 3.

God's deliverance has put a new song in our hearts. And we must sing it often! We sing of his past faithfulness, his present faithfulness, and trust in his future faithfulness as well. Listen as Pastor David preaches from Psalm 40:1-17.

Ruling Elder Bill Camp continues in our summer series through selected Psalms by considering again penitent heart and a merciful God, from Psalm 6.
