Now is more important than ever to be near the Lord and know His ways. Dr. Bob Jokiman instructs us in Revelation 3:1-6 that we need to walk with God so we will not be defeated and He alone will provide all we need.
When we make choices in life, what do they mean at the end? The one who is wise and the one who is foolish meet the same fate. Pastor Tony Arnold teaches us in Ecclesiastes 2:12-23 that obtaining wisdom gives us the knowledge to live before God.
In life we tend to look for things that gives us pleasure. Why do we continue to look for the next best thing, yet it never satisfies? Pastor Tony Arnold teaches us in Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 that all of the enjoyment of temporal things of this world will never compare to the fulfillment in knowing God.
As we grow in the wisdom and knowledge of this world, we see that there is nothing new under the sun. So what’s the use of toil and hard work? Pastor Tony Arnold challenges us in Ecclesiastes 1:2-11 how to live before God in light of the many joys and sufferings we will persevere throughout life.
While we try to make sense of the absurdity of this world, it’s important to remember to have our hope in our heavenly Father and not the temporal things around us. Dr. Willem Van Gemeren reminds us in Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 the need of having continual spiritual insight in living life before God.
