In the storms of life there is one steady anchor for our soul, God. Alone. David beautifully turns our eyes to God and calls us to turn our eyes from all the false "saviors" of this world. Pastor Mollenkopf opens up Psalm 62 to show us the sufficiency of God alone.

King David uses his own experience to teach the joy of forgiveness, and the stages in which a believer travels that they might know that joy as well. Pastor Mollenkopf opens up Psalm 52.

Solomon’s journey for the meaning and purpose of life has now reached a conclusion. Yet, he does not end in under-the-sun despair believing all is meaningless. Rather, he realizes, because of God and his lavish grace, everything matters. Pastor Mollenkopf concludes this powerful sermon series in Ecclesiastes today.

Solomon’s final words before his conclusion seem almost identical to his introduction. Yet, he has not ended in despair, but rather he gives four God-oriented charges to the young and the old which point us toward living wisely, joyfully, and for God’s glory in this life under the sun. Pastor Mollenkopf explains.

Four times Solomon tells us of things in life we do not know. What will the outcome be? While that tempts us to paralysis, apathy, or fear, if we know who God is, this should compel us to generosity and activity. Pastor Mollenkopf explores these truths in the pages of Ecclesiastes.

Solomon has said that wisdom itself in this life under the sun won’t give us meaning, but that does not meaning wisdom is worthless. Thus, he provides us wise insights into various aspects of life. Pastor Mollenkopf opens up the ninth and tenth chapters of Ecclesiastes.

Should Ecclesiastes discourage and depress us? Or should this book of wisdom give us an anchored perspective of reality and a deeper hope in God? Hopefully, you see that the latter is God's great intent in this challenging book. Today, Jeremy Mollenkopf opens up the intriguing counsel of Solomon in chapter nine. Death certainly is a certainty, but by knowing God and his word, we can live joyfully and energetically in this life under the sun as we look toward eternity with him.

Solomon turns from pointing out how God’s wisdom (and not our own observations) should guide us to now discussing issues of life that can destabilize us. In the midst of such issues, he returns us to basic concepts to guide us day-by-day. How is it that I should obey the authorities over me? What do I do when evil prospers? How do I rejoice when suffering greatly? Pastor Mollenkopf answers these questions from God's revelation in Ecclesiastes.

Is wisdom a burden or a blessing? Does it help us to understand and live life or is the pursuit of wisdom a burden to our souls? Solomon shows us that to truly lead a wise life we must not be wise in our own eyes, but rather fear God and turn from evil. Pastor Mollenkopf opens up Ecclesiastes to the saints today.

What is mercy really? And how does grace differ from mercy? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says, "Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy" (Matthew 5:7). Does that mean mercy becomes a payment for being merciful? How does that work. In this message, Keith Pond unpacks these questions to show the magnitude of God's mercy toward us and his expectations for us in exercising mercy toward one another.
