Episode Wisdom on Trial Cover

Wisdom on Trial

In this message from our Life on Trial series, Pastor Nic unpacks what Ecclesiastes teaches us about wisdom. Wisdom is a gift from God, but it was never meant to be the “silver bullet” that fixes every problem in life. Many of us keep searching for the right advice, book, sermon, or strategy, but the deeper issue is not an information problem—it is a heart problem. Wisdom can help steer our lives, but it cannot script them. Even when we do the right things, life can still bring pain, loss, and disappointment because we live in a broken world. Ecclesiastes reminds us to avoid the extremes of becoming overly righteous, thinking God owes us certain outcomes, or becoming overly wicked when life does not go the way we hoped. Instead, we are called to fear God and trust Him. Ultimately, wisdom makes a terrible savior. Our hope is not found in knowing enough, doing enough, or trying harder. Our hope is found in Jesus—the one mediator who offers forgiveness, strength, and life beyond our own efforts. This message concludes with a call to communion and a reminder to rely on Christ, not just our search for answers.

Episode Society on Trial Cover

Society on Trial

Society Promised Fulfillment. Solomon Put It on Trial. | Life on Trial In this episode of Life on Trial, Pastor Nick unpacks Ecclesiastes and exposes the danger of treating people, systems, and success as “functional saviors.” From government and education to relationships and personal achievement, we often place our hope in things never meant to carry the weight of our identity or purpose. But what happens when those systems fail? This message explores the brokenness of life “under the sun,” the trap of comparison and envy, and why true fulfillment can only be found under God—not in the approval of culture or the promises of society. You’ll also discover why isolation isn’t the answer and how real, intentional community can help carry you through life’s hardest seasons. If you’ve ever felt disappointed by the world, overwhelmed by comparison, or stuck trying to control everything around you, this conversation is for you.

Episode Control on Trial Cover

Control on Trial

We all want control—over our future, our circumstances, and the outcomes of our lives. But what if the very thing we’re chasing is the reason we feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck? In this episode of Life on Trial, Pastor Nic unpacks Ecclesiastes and exposes the illusion of control. From shifting seasons to unpredictable outcomes, we’re reminded that life was never meant to be managed entirely by us. This message explores what we actually can control, why surrender leads to peace, and how trusting God changes the way we navigate uncertainty. If you’ve been carrying the weight of trying to control everything—this one will help you let it go. Life on Trial is a series walking through Ecclesiastes—challenging the way we view meaning, control, and purpose, and inviting us to live with a perspective rooted in God, not just what we can see.

Episode Happiness on Trial Cover

Happiness on Trial

We spend our lives chasing what we think will satisfy—success, money, experiences, status… but why does it still feel empty? In Week 2 of Life on Trial, Pastor Nic Smith walks through Ecclesiastes and exposes the tension of life “under the sun”—a life lived without God at the center. From entertainment to achievement, even the best this world offers can’t carry the weight of our purpose. This episode unpacks why happiness makes a terrible god—but a beautiful gift when it flows from the right source. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still missing something, this conversation will challenge your perspective and point you toward what actually lasts. Real fulfillment isn’t found in what you build—it’s found in who you trust.
