Are You Listening?

Oct 20th, 1996 14m 5s

What Solomon is after in these verses in Ecclesiastes is what Paul was driving in the New Testament. Reflect on what God has done for us! Don’t play around with Him. Approach God with reverent awe and we should respond to who He is with our ent

Keep Your Perspective

Oct 19th, 1996 14m 36s

Life is unable to supply the key to the questions of identity, purpose, value, enjoyment and destiny. Only in coming to know God can we begin to find answers to these questions. Solomon is saying to us that money is not a suitable goal for us t

Don’t Get Faked Out

Oct 18th, 1996 18m 11s

Don’t be faked out by the outward appearances of things. Prosperity may not be at all what it seems. Contentment is a gift from God. Solomon continues to tell us in Ecclesiastes that life is futile without God. God has established the connectio

Welcome Adversity

Oct 17th, 1996 22m 1s

Sorrow can be a great teacher; it increases your capacity for joy. Solomon continues to encourage us in Ecclesiastes to enjoy life and not to be a pleasure seeker. Wisdom is what we should be after. Wisdom is a shelter; it preserves the life of

Don’t Add To It

Oct 16th, 1996 17m 25s

God is looking for a personal relationship with each one of us. When we get religious, we stop listening and we play a game. Solomon tells us not to be over righteous, but also not to be over wicked. The man who fears God will avoid all extreme

It Makes Fools of Us All

Oct 15th, 1996 16m 37s

The woman described in Ecclesiastes as a snare and a trap is a personification of wickedness, which is folly itself. Women have a seductive quality that Solomon knew well. The man who pleases God will escape her. If you’re not fearing God, you’

Good #2 Men

Oct 14th, 1996 17m 34s

We have a great need of more #2 men because God uses human structures and authority systems to get things done in this world. It never works to undermine the superior. A successful person is one who fears God and will have a healthy attitude to

Idealism / Realism

Oct 13th, 1996 15m 33s

Abuses of power by human government do not frustrate God, that is the way He wants society to be regulated. But when it goes wrong, He is still in control and accomplishes His purposes in this world. So be realistic and remember that we live in

OK, Let’s Get Practical

Oct 12th, 1996 22m 56s

The knowledge we gain and principles we learn can be applied usefully. That’s where Solomon takes us in Ecclesiastes in the last division of his argument. God is the only way. There is nothing outside of the scope of God’s sovereignty. He’s the

Enjoy Yourself

Be a 5% er

Oct 10th, 1996 15m 33s

Enjoy your work while you can. We miss the most fundamental things in life because we’re not listening to the simple truth of the Scripture. This is Solomon’s philosophy of life in Ecclesiastes. “Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all y

Teachable Moments

Oct 9th, 1996 14m 20s

When do people get teachable? When they are in trouble and pain. Solomon gives us a parable about a poor man who was wise. He operated on his own convictions and principles. He was ignored, but he saved the city that was failing with his wisdom

A Fly in the Ointment

Oct 8th, 1996 14m 42s
