It's funny that we would need to be reminded to remember God. But on second thought, it makes all the sense in the world. I'm always forgetting to remember God! It's as if I suffer from spiritual amnesia. If I'm not constantly reminding myself about God, I just keep forgetting. Other stuff just gets in the way of God. It's not like I'm purposefully ignoring God; it's just that my busyness crowds h...

Who you are today is a direct result of your past. Your previous thoughts, desires, actions, and relationships have shaped your present reality. Scripture describes this reality by using the agrarian language of reaping what you sow. In Ecclesiastes 11, Solomon tells us "Cast your bread upon the waters for you will find it after many days." He's not talking about feeding ducks in Frog Pond. He's t...

Have you ever had a near death experience? I'm talking about coming face-to-face with death, your life flashing before your eyes, and you think, "This is it!!" Well, do you remember the rest of that day, or that week? What did you think about life? You loved it, right?! You felt SO ALIVE! You cherished every breath, you savored every morsel of food, you hugged your loved ones so much tighter! You...

How would you define the word "wisdom"? It's not a word that's used often in our culture. The biblical concept of wisdom is much deeper than simply knowledge. I think a helpful definition is: understanding ultimate reality as defined by God and having the ability to live in accordance with it. But that's the catch, isn't it? Lots of us know what's right and good for us, but so often we don't have...

What do you fear? Financial security of your future? Not finding true love? Finding true love, and losing it? Do you fear for you health? Do you fear death? Did you know that the number one most often repeated commandment in the Bible is "Do not fear"? Scripture also teaches that "perfect love casts out all fear." And yet, the Bible uses the word "fear" at least 300 times in reference to God. Scri...

Ever feel stressed out? Ever wonder if Christianity offers any resources to help you handle the pressures of daily life? God doesn't call us to withdraw from this stressful world; He instead gives us a deep peace that transcends our stress. He does this through a deep, abiding relationship with Himself, and deep, life-giving relationships with our friends. As we continue our journey through Eccles...

Scripture teaches that God has created everything, including time. In Ecclesiastes 3, God the Poet gives us a poem to understand time with our minds and hearts; to see how He has created everything beautiful in its time. Time is the fundamental and ineradicable feature of our lives. The unbelievable brevity of our lives deeply conflicts with the deep-seated yearning for permanence. We experience o...

Do you have a job? Do you want a job? Do you hate your job? Do you want another job? (Sorry to be asking you these questions if today is your day off!) We’re always either preparing to work, working, or resting from work. Because work is such a substantial part of our lives, if we don’t learn to enjoy it, we’ll never learn to enjoy life. The cheery Ecclesiastes, in considering work, concludes by s...

What would your life look like if you had unlimited resources? I'm talking about virtually infinite wealth. What would you spend your money on? What would you spend your time doing? Who would your friends be? What would your relationships look like? Where would you live? What would you be pursuing? What would you live for? As we continue our journey searching for the meaning of life with Ecclesias...

The question we’re asking this Sunday is, “What’s the Point?” We've all asked the question. The book of Ecclesiastes is profoundly helpful in helping us find a meaningful answer. You definitely don’t want to miss this series.
