The Ten Lepers | Andy Farrer | Luke 17:11-19

A Time for Everything | Steve Morrison | Ecclesiastes 3:1-15

Life unfolds in seasons. There are times of joy and sorrow, gain and loss, laughter and tears. Yet while we long to control our lives and understand God's timing, much of life remains beyond our grasp. In Ecclesiastes 3:1-15, the Preacher reminds us that every season has its place under God's sovereign hand. Though we cannot always see what God is doing, we can trust that he is working out His good purposes in every moment. This week we'll discover how to receive each season as God's gift, learn what it means to fear and trust him, and find lasting hope in Jesus - the Lord of time, who entered history to redeem us and who will one day make all things new.

Work | Sam Young | Ecclesiastes 2:18-25

Ecclesiastes tells us what we already know - that work is hard, frustrating, and offers only fleeting satisfaction. What does that mean for how we should approach work? Is there any hope that work might offer us something more?

The Vanity of Pleasure | Owen Rowell | Ecclesiastes 2:1-11...

The Preacher in Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 tries every pleasure under the sun but finds that nothing satisfies him. We find that pleasures are fleeting, easily one upped and never certain, ultimately always failing to bring lasting satisfaction. We'll look at what we are therefore to do with the pleasures of the world and how viewing them as gifts from God shifts how we are to enjoy them and points to Jesus as the true source of satisfaction

Is Wisdom Enough? | Steve Morrison | Ecclesiastes 1:12-18...

We live in an age of information and artificial intelligence. Answers are only a click away, experts are everywhere, and we're constantly told that the right knowledge can solve our problems and improve our lives. But what if wisdom can't deliver everything it promises? In Ecclesiastes, the Preacher sets out to understand life through wisdom. He quickly discovers that while wisdom is better than folly, it cannot explain every mystery, heal every sorrow, or overcome life's greatest problem: death. In fact, sometimes seeing the world more clearly only deepens our grief. This week we'll explore both the value and the limits of human wisdom and discover why our deepest need is not simply more information, but the wisdom that comes from God.

What Do We Gain? | Edward | Ecclesiastes 1:4-11

Qohelet continues his search for meaning by asking a confronting question: "What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?" (Ecclesiastes 1:3). In verses 4-11, he observes the world around him. Generations come and go, yet the earth remains. The sun rises and sets, the wind blows in endless circuits, and rivers flow continually into the sea without ever filling it. Nature moves in repeating cycles, and human life often feels much the same. Despite our efforts to achieve, build, accumulate, and leave a legacy, time marches on and even our memories fade. Qohelet is not denying that work, achievement, or life itself have value; rather, he is exposing the limits of what they can ultimately provide. If we seek lasting gain, significance, or permanence solely in the things of this world, we will be disappointed. The passage invites us to consider where true and lasting gain can be found.
