Ep. 14. Ecclesiastes Chapters 7-9: The Teacher No One Wants

What if death isn't your enemy... but your teacher?

Most of us spend our lives trying to avoid thinking about death.
We distract ourselves, stay busy, and assume we'll have more time.

But what if the Bible invites us to do something completely different?

In this message we'll explores Ecclesiastes 7–9, where Solomon offers one of the most surprising lessons in Scripture: death can become one of life's greatest teachers.

Rather than producing fear, an honest awareness of our mortality can cultivate wisdom, gratitude, humility, and a deeper appreciation for the gifts God has placed in front of us today.

Through three powerful movements, this message explores:
Why the "house of mourning" can teach us more than the "house of feasting."
Why our desire for control is often an illusion.
How God's answer isn't anxiety or despair...but joyful gratitude.

Most importantly, we'll see how Jesus transformed death forever.
Because Christ defeated death, Christians no longer have to fear it. Instead, we can allow it to teach us how to truly live.

Preparation matters. Wisdom matters. Hard work matters.
But none of those things guarantee tomorrow.

Our calling is not to control the future but to faithfully prepare, trust God with what we cannot control, and joyfully embrace the gifts He has placed before us today. Because of Jesus, death no longer gets the final word. It simply reminds us to live wisely.
