Delight in Grace

In today’s message, Pastor Rich talks about the glory of God manifested through transformed lives.

The power of the gospel is evident in the transformed lives of those who surrender themselves to Jesus.

When we surrender our lives to the Master, our Messiah, God does a work that others will notice.  Our lives can be a pleasing aroma of Christ to all who see.  In today’s message titled The Aroma of a Godward Life,  Pastor RIch digs into 2 Corinthians 2:15-17 to show how His transformative work in His people proclaims Him to be worthy of worship.

You might as well face the shameful truth: You and I, put in the right situation, will do absolutely anything.

In todays poetic passage, Solomon calls us to live an informed life, especially in our youth.

After this short life, we will meet our Creator, the One we were made for.

Ecclesiastes 12:1 urges us : Remember your Creator     in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come     and the years approach when you will say,     “I find no pleasure in them” There is wisdom in living life in context of eternity, remembering the gravity of approaching death.  After this short life, we will meet our Creator, the One we were made for. 

Ecclesiastes 12:1 urges us to "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth."

You’ve Heard the expression work hard play hard.  Well, both Working and enjoying are built into life. In Ecclesiastes 11, Solomon offers us wisdom for both areas, reminding us that both must be anchored in an accurate view and submission to our Heavenly Father.

We are working through a study in the book of Ecclesiastes called “Living a Good LIfe: Making Sense of the Journey”.  In the last message, we saw from Ecclesiastes 9 that, in spite of our best efforts, we are not in control of our circumstances.  But we will see today from chapter 10 that there is an advantage in life for those who live with wisdom.
