Things like pleasure (v 1), achievement (v 4), possessions (v 7), sex (v 8), self-indulgence (v 10), wisdom (v 12-16) or despair (v 17-20). Instead of sinking into nihilism or hedonism like the author of Ecclesiastes, where should we seek our ultimate fulfillment? Listen as Pastor Jeremy continues…

A Gift
Good Friday is a gift. We can do nothing to gain God’s favor. Christ did it all for us when He died on the cross. It was a gift given to those who believe. Jesus took our sins and gave us His righteousness.

Believers are to love God…
What to Fight and How
One of our goals as Christians is to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). But before we can overcome the sin in our lives, we have to look our own evil straight in the eye and decide to fight against it. When the Holy Spirit opens our hearts to recognize our own sin, we understand we are not great – we are deeply flawed and in desperate need of a Savior.

Not How, but Who
“The question is not how, but Who. So many times in our life we are all wrapped up in the how because that’s right in front of us; that’s all we can see. The point is that Jesus is showing the disciples it’s not how, but who. And when the ‘who’ is in the house, then the hows don’t matter.” The key to getting through any problem or any crisis is to recognize Jesus for who he is. HOW: The…
