THERE IS MORE - A STUDY IN ECCLESIASTES

If you've ever wondered why success doesn't satisfy, or why enough never feels like enough, this sermon invites you to see money, work, and life through the lens of the gospel - and discover the "more" you were actually made for.

What does true worship actually look like? In Ecclesiastes 5:1-7, the teacher warns against empty religion and calls us to approach God with reverence, humility, and integrity. Worship is not about performance, routine, or religious appearances; it begins with listening to God, speaking carefully before him, and living with wholehearted obedience. Ultimately, this passage points us to Jesus, the true worshiper, who brings sinful people near to a holy God.

This message from Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:12 wrestles honestly with the reality that life under the sun often feels unfair. From injustice and suffering to comparison, envy, and isolation, Ecclesiastes exposes the brokenness of both our world and our hearts. Yet the story does not end in despair. Jesus entered into our brokenness, experienced injustice himself, and through his resurrection, offers hope, contentment, and a kingdom that will never fade. If you have ever asked, “Why is life so unfair?” this message is for you.

Life doesn’t move in straight lines – but in seasons. Some we choose, others we wouldn’t. Ecclesiastes 3 names them with honesty, yet points us beyond them. What if the meaning we’re searching for isn’t found in controlling our seasons, but in trusting the One who designs them and stands over them? In Jesus, God entered time itself, bringing purpose to today and hope for what’s ahead. Look up & Look ahead!  Whatever season you’re in, there is more. Watch the full message.

Why does work – labor and toil – so often leave us feeling empty? Ecclesiastes offers a surprisingly honest answer. Work is a gift but it was never meant to be your identity. In this message from Ecclesiastes, we see both the beauty and the burden of work and how the gospel frees us from striving for meaning and invites us to receive it.

We all live with a blank in our lives: “If I only had ________, I’d be happy.” In Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, we see a powerful experiment where every pleasure, possession, and achievement is pursued; yet none of it satisfies. This message explores why what we put in God’s place will always fall short, and how true joy isn’t something we achieve, but something we receive from him. Discover how Jesus steps into our restless search and offers the only fulfillment that truly lasts.

What if the greatest “ending” in history was actually a beginning? In this message from Luke 24, we explore how the resurrection of Jesus wasn’t expected, wasn’t symbolic, and wasn’t just inspiring; it was real. Because Jesus rose from the dead, he proved his promises, defeated death, and offers a living hope to all who trust him. The question isn’t just what you believe about the resurrection, it’s how you will respond to the risen Jesus.
