We reflected on God's unfailing love and complete provision through Christ. Together, we saw how every need—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—is supplied in Him. We rejoiced in His finished work, the privilege of spiritual growth, and the assurance that He holds us and our loved ones in His care.Themes:God supplies every need through ChristAccepted in the Beloved (Eph. 1:6)Fresh love and divine anointingEternal love between the Father and the SonChrist's finished work brings peaceFruit of the Spirit: love as the cause, joy and peace as the effectsStruggles of spiritual growth as a privilegeGod's provision and protection against the enemyChrist's humanity and intimate carePrayer as trust and participation in His loveScripture:Phil. 4:19; Eph. 1:6; Heb. 2:9–18; Eccl. 12:1

1. Jesus gives us REST v. 30-32Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Matthew 11:282. Jesus shows us COMPASSION v. 33-34 Isa. 53:6 - All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned — everyone — to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.3. Jesus PROVIDES our needs HIS way - v. 35-41 Mark 14:22 - And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.4. Jesus is our source of CONTENTMENT v. 42-4410 And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil. 11 Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun. Eccl 2:10–11.7But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ. 8More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them as dung, so that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ — the righteousness from God based on faith.Phil. 3:7-9 (CSB)Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

"In this sermon, we explore the sobering message of Ecclesiastes 1:1–11, where Solomon proclaims: “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” Why does life feel so futile? Why do all things seem to pass without lasting significance? Solomon tells us the reason: death makes all things under the sun meaningless when considered apart from God.We consider:The deep human longing for meaning.The failure of atheism and existentialism to provide that meaning.How the fleeting nature of life and inevitable reality of death prove the vanity of all things “under the sun.”The weariness of life as a result of the fall (Genesis 3) and the curse of death.Why even the pursuit of “newness” or remembrance cannot solve the problem of meaning.Ultimately, Solomon's goal is not despair but direction: to drive us to the only source of true and lasting meaning—God Himself. The book ends not with nihilism, but with a call: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all.” (Eccl. 12:13)
Send us a textIn this new episode Brian continues with the understanding of the days of Daniel and Noah and how there are parallels taking place in this time of transition. The Lord Jesus has announced that we are in an "appointed time- a time to live and a time to die (Eccl. 3:1-2)." Brian shares how some of the recent floods and fires are highlighting the days where the righteous are being spared in the midst of evil. The key is whether we are living righteously before the Lord Jesus in walking in the day to day will of God for our lives. According to Ezekiel 14:14-26 these three righteous men-Noah, Daniel and Job- could not save their own sons and daughters from judgment because of their righteousness. Each must know the righteousness of Christ for themselves!
A new MP3 sermon from Grace Community Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Biblical Hermeneutics: Interpreting “Do Not Be Overly Righteous” (Eccl. 7:16) Speaker: Tim Conway Broadcaster: Grace Community Church Event: Question & Answer Date: 8/1/2025 Bible: Ecclesiastes 7:16 Length: 50 min.
In this Ask Pastor Tim (from 2019) we study Ecclesiastes 7:16—"Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise"—and unpack what Solomon really meant by that warning. We'll walk through three foundational hermeneutical methods (compare Scripture with Scripture, examine context and genre, cross‑reference translations), see how translation differences affect our understanding, and survey New Testament passages that call us to genuine holiness without slipping into legalism or laxity.

"What are we to make of a book that opens with the bold claim, ""All is vanity""?In this sermon, we begin our journey through the book of Ecclesiastes by considering its opening words and the man who spoke them: Solomon, son of David, king in Jerusalem. Though often misunderstood as a work of pessimism or contradiction, Ecclesiastes is a deeply theological reflection on life “under the sun”—a life disconnected from God.Historically attributed to Solomon, this book represents the reflections of a man who had everything—wisdom, wealth, power, pleasure—and yet found it all empty apart from God. By exploring the historical context and internal evidence for Solomonic authorship, we find that Ecclesiastes is not a contradiction to the wisdom of Proverbs but its necessary complement. It is the mature confession of one who once wandered and came to see the futility of life without God.This message is especially relevant for our modern age, where the pursuit of success, beauty, knowledge, and pleasure often takes center stage. But the Preacher tells us, as does Christ himself through these inspired words: Only in God is there true meaning.

Chapter 8 In this attribute is our safety and rest, amidst the confusions of the world, and daily disappointments we are vexed withal, through the vanity and falseness of the creature; as to creatures, the very best of them are but vanity, yea, vanity of vanity, the vainest vanity, Eccl. 1:2. "Every man in his best estate is altogether vanity," Psal. 39:5. Yea, those that we expect most from, give us most trouble, Mic. 7:5.
