Sam continues our series on cultural worldviews by exploring how fear and power interact in our lives and how the gospel speaks into that.

What drives the way we see the world? Across cultures, communities and experiences, we live according to different “lenses” that shape how we understand right and wrong, identity, and meaning. In our new sermon series, Beneath the Surface, we’ll explore four key worldview frameworks—Guilt/Innocence, Shame/Honour, Pain/Pleasure, and Fear/Power—and how they influence how we see ourselves and the world around us.

As we explore each worldview through Scripture, we’ll see how the good news of Jesus speaks powerfully into each context with healing, truth, and hope. Together we will see how the cross of Christ meets every human heart, no matter the lens we live through.

This is the LAST in our teaching series on the book of Ecclesiastes! The Teacher’s been showing that all of life is weightless, ungraspable vapour. But today we’ll hear the book’s AUTHOR chime in with his own thoughts on the Teacher’s words. As Philip brings us that today, maybe there’ll be a twist in the tail?

Here is the link for the video Philip mentioned at the end of the talk between 3:55-8:06: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0tVDQkWJ9A&t=360s

We continue our teaching series on the Old Testament wisdom book of Ecclesiastes. The last few weeks we’ve heard the Teacher wrestling with WHY everything is senseless vapour. This week, chapters 9-10, he shares his practical conclusions on HOW TO ACTUALLY LIVE when everything is vapour.

This week Jeremy explores the paradoxical and vaporous nature of wisdom itself.

Sam follows the Teacher in Ecclesiastes as he explores worship and wealth as vapour.

Sam goes through how friendship and fellowship with one another is affected by and experienced through the vapour of life.
