Ecclesiastes: An Eternal Perscpective

Everything Matters

What is the duty of humanity? Our duty is to respect God’s ordering of our lives. Because all of our life is lived “under the sun,” sometimes we will have trouble, and yet the Lord is lovingly and sovereignly in control of each aspect of our lives. Our proper response should be one of humble submission to God’s will, knowing that everything we do for Him matters.

Consider the End

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Weird but true.” There are many things in this life that sound strange, but actually happen. Even the Bible gives accounts of events that were weird but true!

Listen as Pastor Jeremy Lobdell expounds on these contrasting spiritual truths in the sermon, “Consider the End” based on Ecclesiastes 7:…

Accept & Enjoy

The book of Ecclesiastes is like a science experiment. In chapter 2 we see the author testing to see if anything in the world or “under the sun” can bring fulfillment.
