Sunday Sermon — Ecclesiastes 8

Ecclesiastes 8 presents two troubles that the Preacher sees in the world: one, the Trouble with Kings and two, the Trouble with Mercy. The preacher doesn’t leave us with simply the problems, but offers a solution. As we look at Ecclesiastes, read Job 9:1-5 where we see Job’s rebuttal to Bildad’s argument that Job should repent of some sin. Job’s response reveals a deep and solidly grounded knowledge of who the Lord is.
Next, we look at Luke 12:1-5. Here, Jesus relates two great truths to us: one, that all deeds and words will be made clear and exposed, and two, that the only one to fear is God, who has the capacity to cast one into Hell after death.
Finally, we read Ephesians 4:1-8, in which Paul relates truth regarding the unity of the church. In these verses, we see characteristics of all believers, as well as the gift of Jesus to all believers: grace.
As you listen to the word of the Lord, my prayer is that by this, you will be more solidly established with in your faith.

Solo Deo Gloria,
jason
