Summary of Ecclesiastes

November 26, 2023

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks: “What did you learn from Ecclesiastes?” How have you lived in the past 106 days during this series? Ecclesiastes raises questions about what matters most in life. Pastor preaches that God will judge us, so: 1- Surrender (God is in control) 2 – Stop chasing the wind (don’t compare your life to others) and 3 – Enjoy the grind by giving thanks. God will judge us and give us the victory. Nothing you do for the Lord is in vain. Listen in this week, as we review the book of Ecclesiastes in the sermon series: Living Life Backward.

Ecclesiastes 12:9-14

November 19, 2023

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks: “Are you ready?” There are 8 days to go in this sermon series on Ecclesiastes. He preaches that God woos us and pokes us to prepare us for final judgement. So surrender to Jesus. We are instructed to fear God because He gives joy, He is beyond us and He is in charge. Listen in this week, as we consider our readiness in the sermon series: Living Life Backward.

Ecclesiastes 11:7 – 12:8

November 12, 2023

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks: “Are you a happy person?” The book of Ecclesiastes tells us that life is too short for fake joy and that real joy comes through gratitude. Pastor preaches that God created everything for our joy and our enjoyment of His gifts glorifies God. So, take joy: 1- before decline 2 – before death and 3 – because life goes quick. We should take joy in salvation and give thanks for God’s work. Listen in this week, as we look at grateful joy in the sermon series: Living Life Backward.

Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

November 5, 2023

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks: “If you had 23 days to live, what is God telling you to do? Are you stuck? Waiting on unknowns?” He preaches that God returns what we sow. So risk: 1- the unknowns, 2 – generosity and 3 – doing good. So risk surrender. Life is too short to stay stuck. If you are stuck, overcome your fear and do what God is telling you. The answer to being stuck is surrender. Listen in this week, as we look at how to live well now in the sermon series: Living Life Backward.
