Living in Reverse Series - Seeking After God - Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 - Jason Polk

We will be with the Lord forever. — 1 Thessalonians 4:17 What happens to our souls when we die? Across the ages, many people have offered ideas on our destiny after death. But what does the Bible say? The Old Testament says that when we die, our bodies will return to the earth but that our souls will return to God (Ecclesiastes 12:7). And here in the New Testament the apostle Paul describes death for believers as being “asleep” in Christ (see also 1 Corinthians 15:20; July 26). Some Christians have suggested that when we die, we are in a state of “soul sleep”—but that may not be the best way to describe it. There's also the promise from Jesus to the thief on the cross: “Today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). In addition, the apostle Paul provides a promise in 1 Thessalonians 4, describing one of the most striking scenes in the Bible about the Lord's return. With the shout of the archangel and the blast of a trumpet, the Lord Jesus will descend from heaven. All who belong to Jesus will be raised from the dead, and the living will be gathered to him. And here Paul supplies an indelible, eternal promise: “We will be with the Lord forever.” With this assurance we can be filled with hope and encourage one another. Dear Jesus, although the unknown moment of our death is a reality for each of us, we give thanks that you will never leave or forsake us. Amen.

In this message, join Pastor Nick as we examine Ecclesiastes 3 and how King Solomon reflects on the nature of time and its perceived meaning—or lack thereof—in our lives. Solomon writes about the various seasons we encounter, emphasizing that every activity under the sun has its time. While his initial observations might feel bleak or futile, he ultimately points us towards a greater understanding.1. **The Predicament**:   - Solomon begins by describing the “predicament” we all face with time. He lists 14 pairs of opposites (e.g., a time to be born, and a time to die) to illustrate that life's experiences often seem to cancel each other out, making our efforts seem meaningless (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). Ecclesiastes 3:1 - “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”  2. **The Proper Perspective**:   - However, Solomon shifts to offer a “proper perspective.” He acknowledges that while time can seem repetitive and mundane, God has made everything beautiful in its time and has set eternity in the human heart (Ecclesiastes 3:11). This eternal perspective brings purpose and hope into our daily lives. Ecclesiastes 3:11 – He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”  Habakkuk 2:3 – “This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.” C.S. Lewis – “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”   3. **The Petition**:   - Finally, Solomon gives us two practical applications:      - Enjoy life. Embrace the simple joys and blessings as a gift from God (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13).     - Fear and trust God. Recognize His sovereignty and control over all seasons and moments, cultivating a deep reverence and trust in His plan (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15). Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 -  “I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.”  Ecclesiastes 14-15 – “I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.”  God is already in your tomorrow!  2Rivers Church in O'Fallon, MO, exists to help people become passionate followers of Jesus. LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE for more content that will help you live equipped and become a passionate follower of Jesus!  Resources mentioned during the sermon:·        Resources mentioned during the sermon:● For more studies on Solomon's life, see 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles ● Find the Eccelestates Reading Plan here: https://mailchi.mp/2riverschurch/3aao9vtsci● Get our app and sermon notes, resources, and more! https://onelink.to/2rivers      ·         Struggling and need prayer?

Sermon from Aaron Anderson on October 29, 2023

Take time and look at people for who they really are UNDER the skin. Does what they have make them good people? Does possessions, prestige, paper, and power accurately reveal the truth about anyone?  Aren't one's vehicle types, home(s), magnetism, attractiveness, vocation & occupation, capital, fortune, riches, & wealth represent good people with  things and are blessed by God? That could be farthest from the truth! You can rest your eternity on the fact that God will reveal His Truth in His timing as to what fills one's innermost being, that's the plain ol' truth!  Word of God:Ecclesiastes 3:1; Luke 16;  Matthew 5:45; 1 John 3:2; John 7:38; Proverbs 20:27; Job 38:36; Psalm 51:6; John 14:26; Galatians 5:22-23; James 3:16; Ephesians 6:12; Matthew 15:15-20; Jeremiah 17:9-10;  Job 12 & 42:7; Mark 4:1-20; Ecclesiastes 3:1; Acts 2:22-24; Luke 10:1; Genesis 1:11 & 9:7; Galatians 6:7-8; Hebrews 12:2; Exodus 31:18; Hebrews 13:8; Matthew 24:37-39; 1 John 3:10; John 17:3; 2 Corinthians 4:4 Email:walkingtheway3@gmail.com

God only shows His mercy to those who FEAR and trust Him, ultimately, eternally. His promises, His blessings are conditional, not un-conditional. Those who love and fear God, obey God (Ecclesiastes 12:13; John 14:15). "Great is his mercy toward THEM THAT FEAR HIM."

TC Radio Show | Has Discernment Left The Building? Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give and support our work: www.ToddCoconato.com/give The word discern and its derivatives are translations of the Greek word anakrino in the New Testament. It means “to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.” Discernment is the ability to properly discriminate or make determinations. It is related to wisdom. The Word of God itself is said to discern the thoughts and intentions of one's heart (Hebrews 4:12). A discerning mind demonstrates wisdom and insight that go beyond what is seen and heard. For example, God's Word is “spiritually discerned.” To the human mind without the Spirit, the things of God are “foolishness” (1 Corinthians 2:14). The Spirit, then, gives us spiritual discernment. King Solomon was known for his power of discernment, making many wise decisions and moral judgments (1 Kings 3:9, 11). Christians today are to be discerning as well. Paul prayed for believers “to discern what is best . . . until the day of Christ” (Philippians 1:10). A discerning person will acknowledge the worth of God's Word: “All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge” (Proverbs 8:8-9). Seeking discernment is a goal for all who desire to walk righteously: “Who is wise? He will realize these things. Who is discerning? He will understand them. The ways of the LORD are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them” (Hosea 14:9). We are commanded to “hate what is evil; cling to what is good” (Romans 12:9). But, unless we have true discernment, how can we determine what is “evil” and what is “good”? In order to maintain the purity of the gospel, the church must distinguish truth from heresy. Wisdom also demands that we properly discriminate between what is “best” and what is merely “good.” Discernment has many collateral benefits. “My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble; when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet” (Proverbs 3:21-24). Just as Solomon sought discernment and wisdom (Proverbs 1:2; 1 Kings 3:9-12) to explore the handiwork of God (Ecclesiastes 1:13) and seek the meaning of life (Ecclesiastes 12:13), so should believers seek “the wisdom that comes from heaven” (James 3:17). We must study the Scriptures which are “able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15). May our prayer be “I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes” (Psalm 119:125).    

Dr. Jessica Peck is a professor, nurse practitioner, author, and mama who has written a book called Behind Closed Doors: A Guide to Help Parents and Teens Navigate Through Life's Toughest Issues, and it is precisely that. It's an incredible resource that talks about what Jessica sees in her office with parents and kids and teens of varying ages as well as in her own home. We are going to talk about A LOT of things today and some of them may feel kind of scary, or uncomfortable. Still, the goal of this conversation is to learn how to engage in very uncomfortable things in a “quasi-comfortable” or at the very least approachable way. Things like the mental health crisis in this country among young people, the effects of social media, living at the speed of a smartphone, conversations surrounding suicide, the drive to be perfect, and more. The goal is not for those of us who love young people as parents, ministers, doctors, nurses, teachers, coaches, aunts, uncles, or whoever you are to be scared of the world that young people are facing but to remember the hope we have in Jesus no matter what happens in this world. AND through people like Dr. Peck, we can be empowered with knowledge and equip us for what may lay ahead. I am so hopeful that you find something in this conversation for you and your relationship with the young people in your life. We cannot protect them from everything. We will not do this perfectly. But we can build healthy, honest, relationships with the young people and teenagers in our life. Remember: it is never too late to redeem a relationship, ask for forgiveness, or to change the trajectory of our decisions. I hope you find hope in that today. The Lord is not finished with your story. He has plans for a hopeful future for you, and He will carry them out until the very end. You matter, and your story matters. *Connecting with Dr. Jessica Peck: Audiobook  Book Facebook Instagram Podcast Website  References: -“Jumani”- THE OG!! -Simone Biles' mental health decision at the Olympics -University of Tennessee of the 90's -Eye contact secretes oxcytocin -My instagram live with Dr. Peck about Sex Trafficiking  -Human trafficking resource -Signs of sex trafficking -Lunchbox questions for kids/teens -Lunchbox jokes Harry Potter and Star Wars (Pinterest is a gold mine!)  -Cece Winans' “Goodness of God” -Pediatric Clinic in India through Baylor Scripture References: Ephesians 6:10-18-put on the full of armor of God Ecclesiastes 3:1-8- -there is a time to reap and a time to sow Lamentations 3:22–33; Psalm 30; 2 Corinthians 8:1–9-God's mercies are new every single morning Ezekiel 37:1-14-God's power can raise bones from the desert 2 Corinthians 12:9-God's power is made known in our weakness John 16:33-In this world we will have trouble, but God Psalm 84:11- No good thing will God withhold from me  Jeremiah 29:11 The Lord has plans for a hopeful future for you Philippians 1:6- He will complete the work He began in you  JOIN OUR PATREON COMMUNITY!!!!
