I'm Not Going To Miss You Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 30, 2022

This sermon continues to focus on Solomon's melancholy view of life and his conclusion to: "Remember God in the days of your youth" because there will come a point where you will no longer remember or enjoy very little.

The passage we will be looking at today is kind of a lengthy one. It is Ecclesiastes 11:7 going all the way down to Ecclesiastes 12:8. This particular chunk of passage is actually considered probably the last words that Solomon wrote at least in this book. Even though there are words that ...read more

What's It Going To Cost Me? Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 3, 2021
