Life Under the Sun | Ecclesiastes 3:1-22

Pastor David Kite continues our series in Ecclesiastes. Life "over the sun" moves us beyond the monotonous, cyclical grind of life "under the sun" and anchors our hope in the transcendent reality that outlasts the grave.

Life Under the Sun | Ecclesiastes 2:12-26

Pastor Will Plonk continues our series in Ecclesiastes. Finding our identity in our accomplishments is fleeting. Modern work has shifted from "material production to identity production". We must change our perspective on daily labor, its a present gift from God and not a source of self-derived purpose or identity.

Life Under the Sun | Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

Pastor Will Plonk continues our series in Ecclesiastes. Pleasure isn't inherently evil, but it becomes mentally and spiritually destructive when pursued as a substitute for God. "It gives you a momentary high, but it only—it doesn't only not satisfy you, it betrays you on the back side."

Life Under the Sun | Ecclesiastes 1:12-18

Pastor David Kite continues our series "Ecclesiastes: Life Under the Sun" with Ecclesiastes 1:12-18.

Life Under the Sun | Ecclesiastes 1:1-11

Pastor Will Plonk launches our new series through the book of Ecclesiastes.

Our world places a crushing burden on us to be exceptional... which eventually runs us out of gas under the weight of our own supposed potential.
