Sermons

Pastor Nate brings the message from Ecclesiastes 11-12. As Solomon begins

his closing statements to the book of Ecclesiastes, he specifically

addresses young people with several nuggets of wisdom. In Sunday's sermon,

we'll take the same approach by encouraging young people to pursue Biblical

joy and to remember their Creator.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Moving On...Wisely" from Ecclesiastes

9-11. In our passage, Solomon enters into the political arena where he

shares his observations and disappointments. He then urges his readers to

use wisdom to live in less than ideal times.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Seize the Day." In Ecclesiastes 9, Solomon

brings up the uncomfortable point that we will all die. It's inevitable.

Since that is true, there is a Godly wisdom that implores us to enjoy this

moment while we have it.

Pastor Luke brings the message, "Equipped with the Promises" from Acts

1:6-11. Jesus' last words to His disciples focused on the task of spreading

the gospel to the ends of the earth. Yet, in this daunting task, He

provides three promises that equip us for what He has called us to. Those

promises are the focus of this message.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Enjoying the Good Times During the Bad."

At the beginning of chapter 8 Solomon shares the wisdom that is needed when

living with a less than ideal government and culture. Pretty pertinent for

Christians. Last week Nate mentioned that we would make it through chapters

8-9, but he's taking that back and preaching on Ecclesiastes 8:1-15.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "When God Doesn’t Make Sense” from

Ecclesiastes 7:15-29. Wouldn’t it be nice if life was like a recipe? Put in

all the right ingredients, cook it up at the right temperature, and

everything turns out well! Life isn’t that way, and Solomon vocalizes the

confusion. That being said, how we should proceed “when life doesn’t make

sense” is what we aim to understand .

Pastor Nate brings the message, "God is Good All the Time." As Solomon

begins the second half of Ecclesiastes we are brought face to face with

this relevant truth: in times of adversity, God is good.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Enjoying the Gifts from God." In

Ecclesiastes 5-6 we see that the pursuit of wealth and expectation that it

will give satisfaction is empty. Instead, enjoy what God has already given

you, whether it's work, food and drink, or the money He has provided. This

passage teaches us that God is looking out for your enjoyment!

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Reverence in the House of God" from

Ecclesiastes 5:1-7. Does it seem that many church services have taken on a

man-centric atmosphere? In Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 we find that there is wisdom

in approaching God with reverence. Our worship should be governed by God's

greatness.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "God's Set Times" from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.

In chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes Solomon asks us to consider the timing of just

about everything in life...being born and dying, planting and harvesting,

weeping and laughing, etc., etc. What he's getting at is that these

occasions and rhythms happen in God's timing. He is the One who determines

when all things take place. And since that's the case, ought we not to be

in awe of God?
