Ecclesiastes 2:24–26 | The Lord has filled our days with beautiful things to enjoy. And when we are freed from the pursuit of finding meaning for our life apart from God, we are freed to enjoy the beauty in a day that He gives us.

This week we are going to let Ecclesiastes instruct us to slow down and enjoy the beauty in each day God has given us.

This really could be a game-changer for how we take in the scenery of our life each day.

Finding Contentment In An Upgrade Culture

What Matters., Brock Graham

Jul 26, 2020

Ecclesiastes 5:10–20 | There was a day where you didn’t get something new until the last one was broken? I know, I know, it sounds crazy but it’s true. You didn’t wait in line for a new phone while holding a perfectly good phone. You didn’t buy a new computer until, well, the one you currently had couldn’t even turn on anymore. But this is a way of the past. Welcome to the upgrade culture. And while there are many blessings of constant improvement and upgrades, what if we live life in a constant upgrade way? I argue it breeds deep discontentment. In this last week of Ecclesiastes we look at the blessing of accepting the lot in life to which God has assigned us. It doesn’t mean we can’t long, and yearn, and strive, but it does mean that instead of constantly focusing on what we don’t have, we live with a peaceful thankfulness for what we do. So, we set out to be free from the tyranny of always being after new and bigger and better and bolder and different and instead seek to heed what Solomon has to say about the joy to be found in what God has entrusted to us right now.

Life Together: The Blessing of Relationships

What Matters., Brock Graham

Jul 19, 2020

Ecclesiastes 4:7–12 | The best mentors and coaches in my life say this often, “Remember, love people.” People are a gift from God. Relationships are a gift from God. Companionship is a gift from God. This week we continue fleeing from seeking ultimate meaning in riches, work, and pleasure and we look back to the simple things God gives us to enjoy in this life lived in the fear of Him. You know one of His greatest gifts to us? Other people. Let’s talk this week of a life lived in the enjoyment of the companionship He has brought to us.

Ecclesiastes 1:1-2:26 | Ever read Ecclesiastes?

Next question: Ever read Ecclesiastes and been encouraged after?

This Sunday, as we regather as a church, we begin a four-week series in Ecclesiastes called "What Matters." It seems on the surface that Ecclesiastes' message is nothing matters. But Ecclesiastes is actually a gift from God to teach us what DOES matter and to not look for ultimate meaning for our lives in non-ultimate things.

Hasn't the COVID season been one of stripping away some of the things that we thought really really mattered? Hasn't it revealed how quickly some things we thought to be ultimate and untouchable were really pretty fleeting and fragile?

Let's regather this month and learn together from God's word what actually really matters.
