Today’s Sermon
The End of the Matter
Pastor John Lowder
The book of Ecclesiastes is a fascinating journey through many of life’s joys, challenges, mysteries, and complexities. And now the writer concludes with some very pointed final words. His goal is to summarize everything that has been said, and we are wise to pay attention as well.

Today’s Sermon
Seize The Day
Pastor John Lowder
Ecclesiastes 11, Ecclesiastes 12
As the writer of Ecclesiastes wraps up his book, he gives some very practical instructions about life and aging. His description about the frustrations of getting older is both humorous and sobering, and therefore we are encouraged to make the most of every single day. How will YOU be encouraged to seize your day?
