    God blessed this man with everything that most humans try to achieve in life and he surpasses them all because of God's blessings of knowledge and riches.

    "Without God life makes no sense." Ecclesiastes 4:1-16 We come to the midpoint in our study in Ecclesiastes and I have always thought the reasoning and thoughts of Solomon in Proverbs ...Song of Solomon and here in Ecclesiastes are really fascinating. Why are his thoughts ...read more

    Who am I/ Why am I here? What is my purpose? Solomon addresses these questions in chapter 4 as he experiences the troubles, toils, trials and tears of life "under the sun."

    Ecclesiastes 4:1-16 The Woe Everyone Knows! Then I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun: And look! The tears of the oppressed, But they have no comforter— On the side of their oppressors there is power, but they have no comforter.¹ Therefore I praised the ...read more

    Is work meaningless? Is it like chasing after the wind? According to Solomon it is if you are working for the wrong reason and for the wrong person. We need to work for God not men or money and we need to keep it proper balance and be on the side were the

    Simplicity is a spiritual discipline that is, too often, left unpracticed in our consumeristic western culture.

    This morning we begin a four-week journey dealing with the stewardship of life. Over the next four weeks we’ll take a look at the futility that comes from longing for more in a culture of enough, then we’ll take a look at the power of debt to cause stress in our lives. In week three, we discover ...read more

    Solomon is troubled by the unfairness of life. But he was the king - why didn't he just legislate away injustice and punish all the wrong-doers and give away some his vast wealth to feed the poor? Why wouldn't that work?

    OPEN: Awhile back there was an article that appeared in a Kentucky newspaper which read: "I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, that I was culturally deprived. Then they told me 'deprived' ...read more

    You can learn from observing people. It is amazing that King Solomon could see this much from his palace. Solomon was observing people who were working hard, and he observed that their inward motive was envy. We could find this type of person very commonly.

    You can learn a lot from watching people. You could be at the Atlanta airport at the busiest airport in the world or at a quiet rural restaurant and you will find a variety of people. We can become students of people. Knowing what makes people tick and learning from others is wise. We are ...read more

    The emotions that we will undergo during grieving our losses will possibly be the most painful and confusing experiences we will ever have. God has given us the ability to grieve and has given us spiritual principles and resources to help us through the process.

    A. There is an old Chinese parable about a woman whose only son died. 1. As you can imagine, she was grief-stricken beyond consolation. 2. She made her way to an old, wise man seeking his assistance. 3. She was surprised and hopeful when he promised to give her back her son if she would bring him ...read more
