Today’s Sermon
In Search of a Better Life
Pastor John Lowder
No one wakes up in the morning and hopes that their day is worse than the day before. Instead, we all want a better life and would prefer that each day keeps getting better. Where do we look though to have this kind of trajectory in life? Ecclesiastes 7 gives us some teachers who are ready to teach, if we’re willing to listen.

Today’s Sermon
Bringing Joy To Life
Pastor John Lowder
Joy is the feeling of great pleasure and happiness. We all love it when we feel it, but what happens when life seems to steal your joy? Ecclesiastes 6 outlines some common joy-stealers in life, but there is a way for us to get it back.

Today’s Sermon
Subtle Stealing
Pastor John Lowder
“You shall not steal.” Most of us are familiar with this eighth commandment given to Moses, and we look to some of the other commandments as being harder to keep than this one. The Preacher in Ecclesiastes helps us see that stealing takes many subtle forms that we might not think about, even including stealing from ourselves.

In Due Time
Pastor Brandon Thomas
Ecclesiastes 3 contains a poem that may seem quite familiar to some (especially to fans of The Byrds). This passage seems easy to be understood “under the sun”, but what do all these times have to indicate about the God who is over them?
