Sermon by Michael Bailey on June 15, 2025.
Key scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-15
Life brings seasons we can’t predict or control. But in Ecclesiastes 3, we’re invited to be spiritually prepared—not by mastering outcomes, but by entrusting ourselves to a God who sees the whole story.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on June 8, 2025.
Key scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:18-26
Does your work ever feel like it owns you? Ecclesiastes exposes the futility of toil “under the sun”—yet points us to a God who meets us even in our weariness with purpose and joy.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on June 1, 2025.
Key scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, 17 and Mark 8:36
What if the life you’re building still leaves you empty? Solomon had it all—pleasure, power, wealth, and wisdom—and still found it meaningless. What are you chasing, and will it really satisfy?
Sermon by Michael Bailey on May 25, 2025.
Key scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:1-11
“Meaningless, meaningless… everything is meaningless.” That’s the opening line, and somehow the beginning of hope. Week one in Ecclesiastes shows us why everything “under the sun” eventually lets us down—and how life with God brings joy to even the most ordinary days.
