“I said in my heart, ‘Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.' But behold, this also was vanity.” — Ecclesiastes 2:1What happens when someone has the power to indulge in every pleasure the world can offer? In Ecclesiastes, we find one of Scripture's boldest experiments: a search for lasting joy through earthly delights. The Preacher—often thought to be Solomon—pursues laughter, wine, work, wealth, sex, and success, all in an effort to answer one question: Can pleasure truly satisfy the human soul?A Culture Chasing the WindToday, we live in a world that echoes the Preacher's experiment. “Treat yourself.” “Follow your heart.” “Do what makes you happy.” These aren't just slogans—they're mantras for modern living. From the vacations we plan to the gadgets we unbox, we're told that happiness is just one more swipe, scroll, or splurge away.But Ecclesiastes challenges that narrative. It forces us to wrestle with a deeper question: What if pleasure doesn't lead where we think it does?The Preacher's pursuit wasn't careless. It was a deliberate, calculated test. He writes, “Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them” (Ecclesiastes 2:10). He built houses, planted vineyards, created lush gardens, hired singers, amassed wealth, surrounded himself with comfort—even concubines.This wasn't indulgence for indulgence's sake. It was a methodical pursuit of happiness. Today, we might say: “If it looked fun, I bought it. If it felt good, I did it.” The experiment was thorough, and the results were heartbreaking.“Behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind.” — Ecclesiastes 1:14The Thrill FadesTo picture this, imagine a bag of old receipts. Each one once captured a moment of excitement—a new purchase, a fancy dinner, a spontaneous trip. But now? They're just scraps. The joy is gone.That's exactly what the Preacher realized. Pleasure was never meant to carry the weight of our deepest needs. It promises fulfillment but delivers only fleeting escape. It's like trying to hold smoke in your hands—real for a moment, then gone.The Preacher's story finds a parallel in Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. The younger son squandered his inheritance chasing worldly pleasures, only to end up broke and broken. The twist? The Preacher had everything the prodigal son dreamed of—wealth, opportunity, indulgence—and yet he ended up just as empty.Different paths. Same conclusion.A Warning That Leads to FreedomHere's the grace in all this: We don't have to repeat the experiment. The Preacher's pain can be our wisdom. He's waving us down from the road ahead, saying, “There's nothing here. Don't waste your life chasing shadows.”That's a gift. It frees us to reflect:What am I turning to when I feel tired or discouraged?What “quick fixes” do I reach for without thinking?What would it look like to seek joy in God instead?God is not against pleasure. He is the Creator of joy and the Giver of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17). But those gifts were never meant to replace Him. When we look to pleasure as the destination rather than a signpost to the Giver, we miss the point—and our hearts remain restless.So next time you reach for something to lift your spirits, ask: Is this joy, or just escape? Is this feeding my soul, or simply distracting it?A Better Way to LiveEcclesiastes doesn't just warn—it redirects. It helps us tear down the idol of pleasure and place our hope in a Person, not a product. And that Person—our God—is the only source of joy that doesn't fade.At FaithFi, we want to help you explore this truth more deeply.

[This episode has Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Jed Payne and Joey Svendsen in it]Is pledging allegiance to a flag weird or even creepy? If one believes in hell, is it kind of psycho to make jokes about people going there? Just how much does God intervene in the affairs of humanity and work on behalf of people's prayers? And if God intervenes in more important "life or death" matters, why does God only stop a few? These questions discussed and no answers were established. Just another episode of PWNA.

In this sermon, Damian Thompson leads us in wrapping up our Vapor series, which focuses on the book of Ecclesiastes. Damian shares that reading Ecclesiastes is like listening to those who have walked ahead of us and know where the bumps and difficulties are in life. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing whether it is good or evil." Damian explains that to fear God is really to respect Him. He helps us understand why we respect God by providing three key points. God is your creator. He is omnipotent and all-powerful in your trials and difficulties. God knows all. He is omniscient and has all knowledge in the midst of chaos. God makes sense of the chaos. In the midst of your chaos, He knows, and He provides peace. God is everywhere at the same time, always present. So, in the midst of catastrophe, pray when the pain intensifies because God is there. God is your creator, in full control, fighting on your behalf. Damian compels us to understand and prioritize God in our lives, respecting Him and His commandments because He chose you. The master of who we are is our measure to love through the difficulties of this life. And this leads to the one last point: be in awe of God.
Vapor - Pastor Mitchell Bland
In this informative episode, Josh Souders from Copeland joins Bryan to dive deep into heat pump technology, discussing everything from basic operations to advanced features in cold climate applications. The conversation begins with a fundamental explanation of how heat pumps work, describing them as essentially air conditioners with a reversing valve that allows them to provide both heating and cooling. Josh explains the thermodynamic principles that enable heat pumps to extract heat from cold outdoor air and transfer it indoors, achieving coefficients of performance (COP) ranging from 1.5 to 3, making them significantly more efficient than traditional electric resistance heating. The discussion moves into the broader context of electrification and decarbonization, explaining how heat pumps fit into these environmental initiatives. Josh details how modern cold climate heat pumps have evolved significantly from earlier generations, particularly through the Department of Energy's Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge program. This program pushed manufacturers to develop systems capable of maintaining full heating capacity at very low temperatures, addressing historical concerns about heat pump performance in cold regions. Variable speed technology emerges as a key topic, with Josh explaining how modern inverter-driven compressors can operate across a wide range of speeds - from 900 to 7,000 RPM in their newest A2L products. This capability allows systems to maintain heating capacity in cold weather by increasing compressor speed when needed. The conversation also covers practical considerations for installation and troubleshooting, including the importance of proper defrost cycles, installation location, and the use of riser kits in snowy regions. Key Topics Covered: Basic heat pump operation and refrigeration cycle Electrification and decarbonization initiatives Cold climate heat pump capabilities and DOE challenge program Variable speed compressor technology Different types of heat pumps (air source, ground source, water source) Defrost cycles and their importance Installation considerations for cold climates Vapor injection technology and its benefits Available incentives and rebates for heat pump installation Troubleshooting tips for heat pump systems Low-GWP refrigerant considerations Resource links for contractors and homeowners Modern heat pump efficiency and performance improvements Resources mentioned: DSIRE USA website for state incentives (dsireusa.org) DOE rebate portal (energy.gov/save/rebates) Copeland heat pump information (hvacrschool.com/copeland-heat-pumps) Copeland Mobile app and White Rogers family of apps Copeland Training Hub for education resources Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

“Many have remembered God too late, but none too soon—so honor God while you're young.” This week's sermon is part five of Vapor, a six-week series on Ecclesiastes exploring its timeless wisdom and the reality that life is fleeting—like vapor—without God at the center. Tyler dives into Ecclesiastes' urgent message: the importance of seeking God while young. No matter how young you are, you need God now. Everything else—wealth, pleasure, status—is meaningless apart from Him.

This week, Tyler delves into some of the darkest truths in Ecclesiastes, examining how injustice, suffering, and mortality shape human existence. It also offers a stark contrast between a worldview without God (leading to despair) and one with God (providing hope and purpose). While Ecclesiastes paints a bleak picture of life without God, Christianity offers hope beyond suffering. Tyler presents three key truths that separate a Christian worldview from an atheistic one: 1. God Suffers With Us 2. God is Working Against Evil 3. There Will Be Final Judgment and Justice Ecclesiastes is honest about suffering, but Christianity offers a way to deal with it. Without God, suffering is meaningless. With God, suffering is part of a redemptive story. ~ Jesus entered suffering to show us that God cares. ~ Evil is not from God, but He is actively working against it. ~ Final judgment ensures that every wrong will be made right. ~ Christian hope is stronger than secular despair. ~ You can trade a worldview of indifference for one of purpose, love, and eternity.

This week at Northeast Christian Church, Tyler shared insights from Ecclesiastes on finding meaning and satisfaction in life's simple joys as part of the Vapor sermon series. Timing of Enjoyment: The time to enjoy life is now, not when circumstances are perfect. Everyday moments—like a warm coffee or a shared meal—are gifts from God meant to be cherished. Mindset of Enjoyment: Adopting a mindset of gratitude rather than entitlement helps us appreciate life's blessings. Shifting focus from what we lack to what we have transforms envy into gratitude and discontentment into contentment. Surprise of Enjoyment: Enjoyment is a divine command. God desires our joy, as seen in Jesus' celebratory spirit during His life. Method of Enjoyment: True enjoyment requires discipline and self-control, ensuring it remains an act of worship that honors God. Call to Joy: Embrace simple, daily joys as gifts of grace through practices like gratitude journaling, shared meals, or quiet reflection. These moments bring meaning to our lives and reflect heaven on earth. Join us for more profound wisdom in the Vapor series as we explore life's fleeting yet meaningful moments.

FDA v. R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co. | 01/21/25 | Docket #: 23-1187
Tyler opens the series Vapor, drawing from the Book of Ecclesiastes, by exploring two contrasting worldviews: "Over the Sun" and "Under the Sun," using principles of apologetics to examine their implications. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon presents a worldview "under the sun," where life is seen purely through a materialistic lens — as if everything that can be perceived with our senses is all that exists. This perspective aligns with atheism, which dismisses any spiritual dimension, and agnosticism, which questions whether the spiritual realm even matters. Ecclesiastes argues that this view, when fully embraced, leads to meaninglessness and despair. The pursuit of wealth, pleasure, or success ultimately feels empty because, in this worldview, there is no ultimate purpose or divine order behind it all. However, Ecclesiastes invites us to adopt a different perspective: the "over the sun" worldview. This view looks beyond the material world to a higher reality where God exists, governs, and gives life meaning. By using apologetics — the defense and rational justification of faith — we can see that the "over the sun" perspective offers a deeper, more coherent understanding of life's purpose. This view challenges the "under the sun" mindset with answers to some of life's most fundamental questions: Purpose: Life isn't random or accidental; it's part of God's intentional design. Value: Every human being has intrinsic value, created in the image of a loving and purposeful God. Morality: Objective moral standards exist, grounded in the character of a just and holy God. Love: We are made to love because we are loved by a God who is love itself. Hope: Death is not the end, and there is a final reckoning — a divine justice and the promise of eternal life beyond the grave. Where do you stand in this debate of worldviews? Is your perspective shaped more by what's "under the sun," dismissing the possibility of God or any deeper meaning? Do you find it easy to devalue those you disagree with or shift your values based on circumstance? Do you struggle to hope for a future that goes beyond what you can see and touch? Using apologetics, we can see that the "under the sun" worldview doesn't offer a satisfying or sustainable answer to these questions. But the "over the sun" perspective, rooted in God's revealed truth, gives us a foundation that brings meaning, purpose, and hope — even in the midst of life's challenges. Take time to reflect and pray. Ask God to show you where you might be living under the sun instead of embracing the deeper reality of life over the sun.
