Why Is The Pursuit Of Success So Empty? Series

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013

This is the second message in a series from the book of Ecclesiastes that examines Solomon's wisdom in regard to the mistakes that he had made in his life. This message examines the pursuit of success how it is always elusive and leaves one feeling empty.

Dear Diary, “I want to be a success but the harder I pursue success the more empty I feel.” As we begin I really feel that we must answer three extremely difficult questions. What drives you? What causes you to work the way you do? What happens to all you have worked for when you exit ...read more

Will The Real Mom Please Stand Up?

Contributed by John Gaston on May 10, 2019

Solomon relied on a mother's maternal instinct in order to discern which of two women were the baby's real mother. Mothers are creatures with a touch of the divine; they love sacrificially as only God can.

A Hand Up...not A Hand Out! (Acts 3:1-10)

Contributed by David Darst on May 17, 2021

I have come to this conclusion: People do not need a “hand out” . What they really need is a “hand up” So many people would be content to be carried around in their affliction rather than walk on their own two feet. The Worst part is many Christian’s are content to keep carrying them.

I. The Routine (1) Peter and John were still in the two by two mode -- they were going about their religious routine on their way to the temple to pray. “Ninth hour” approximately (3PM) in the afternoon.

Ahithophel, David's most sagacious counselor, turned against David because Bathsheba was his grand-daughter, and he never would forgive David, even though she became Queen and the mother of Solomon, the next King!

Words Of Wisdom For Graduates

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 10, 2021

In this passage, Solomon is acting as a teacher instructing his students about life. He concludes with his observations about the purpose of life; and in his closing remarks we find four words of wisdom that can be applied to graduates.

Today is our Graduate Recognition, and I feel led to share from a passage in Ecclesiastes. This book is believed to have been written by Solomon, since Ecclesiastes 1:1 says that these are “the words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.” To get started, I think these words can ...read more

Boredom On The Job Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 13, 2015

Boredom is a constant complaint of many workers, but Solomon points to the one thing that can turn the emptiness of the workplace into a powerful tool for our faith. What is this "one thing" that can makes such a big difference for us?

Back in 2009, a 16-year-old British girl was fired from her office job because her manager saw - on Facebook - that she had said her job was “boring”. She was called into her manager's office and given the following letter: “Following your comments made on Facebook... we feel it ...read more

Has God Rejected Israel? (Part 1 Of 3) Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Sep 2, 2002

Part 1 of 3 Many claim that the church is now Israel. After examining the scriptures, we cannot draw that conclusion without denying the accuracy of the Bible. This section examines the New Testament promise that God has not forsaken Israel and the Old T

(Part 1 of 3) It is often argued that the futurist view of prophecy is a modern view, therefore it has less merit. This is partially true.

“beautiful Feet And The Gospel Goal” Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on May 19, 2013

How could Paul have come to the same conclusion as the prophet Isaiah some 700 years before about "beautiful feet"? The "feet" of the Church are to resemble the heavenly "feet" that first stepped onto mountains of Zion, and later were nailed to a cross.

“Beautiful Feet and the Gospel Goal” Romans 10:9-15 At one time or another, everyone has played the “word association game?” You know how it’s played: one person gives a word and then you spontaneously respond with another word. If we changed the game to ...read more
