Today, we're wrapping up our series in Ecclesiastes *and* beginning a new, upward-looking series about Good and Beautiful Vision. In this sermon, Pastor Adam draws from the Old and New Testament to offer a hopeful, optimistic understanding of the ways that a good and beautiful vision for anything begins with a good and beautiful vision of God.

Life reveals at least one grim truth: we will all face death at some point. Given that, what is the best way to approach death and overcome fear of it? In this sermon, Pastor Justin explores Ecclesiastes to uncover the Scripture's claims about how we can overcome slavery to the fear about death.

As citizens of one of the most learned cities in the world, we're likely to believe that the Good Life is found in the wisdom of the academy.

In a thoroughly capitalist society and an increasingly globalizing world, money has attained a kind of divinity. It is the altar at which far too many of us worship.

Time tends towards cycles, or so implies the author of Ecclesiastes. We've all experienced something like this: we experience ups, downs, highs, lows, periods of great joy, and periods of great turmoil. We may seek stability, normalcy, or consistency in life, but we rarely find any of these for very long. What might the author of Ecclesiastes have to say about our constant struggle to cleave to the peaks of our lives in a world set on cycling? In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores Ecclesiastes 3 to show that only God can sustain us through life's seasons.

Today, we're beginning a new sermon series in Ecclesiastes entitled "Chasing The Wind."

In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores the wisdom of the writer of Ecclesiastes to help us determine how to respond to the glitches in the systems of our lives.
