Wisdom for the Ages // Eccl. 4
In today’s world, there is an obsession with knowledge but a growing resistance to true wisdom. While knowledge is the accumulation of information, wisdom is the right application of that knowledge, something our society increasingly overlooks. Ecclesiastes 4 echoes this truth by exposing the emptiness of ambition, isolation, and toil without purpose. It reminds us…
Read MoreWisdom for the Ages // Eccl. 3
Time is precious. God has given us life. We were born for a reason and a purpose. We often complain that we don’t have enough time. It is really not about time, but about priorities. Therefore, we must prioritize the time God has given us and live each moment for Him. To know God is…
Read MoreWisdom for the Ages // Eccl. 2
In Ecclesiastes Chapter 2, Solomon explores the pursuits of pleasure, achievement and possessions, ultimately finding them all meaningless apart from God. While God wants us to enjoy life, these pursuits become empty when they are self-centered or disconnected from Him. Solomon concludes that true fulfillment—wisdom, joy and purpose—comes only from God. The Westminster Shorter Catechism…

Ecclesiastes was written by Solomon in his old age. Solomon was the wisest and wealthiest person to ever live. He was king over all Israel. Although Solomon started well, he did not finish well.

Read MoreMiracles of Jesus // Healing the Man Born Blind
In John 9, we see a powerful story of healing that starts with mud, spit, and obedience but it quickly becomes something deeper. Jesus heals a man born blind, showing that God often does His greatest work through our pain. But the miracle doesn’t make life easier—it disrupts everything. The man loses his status, his…
Read MoreMiracles of Jesus // Walking on Water
As followers of Jesus, sometimes we can think that we will not have any problems. There are so many blessings with being a Christian, but we still live in a broken and fallen world, which means we will all go through storms. One day, it will all be perfect in Heaven, but until that day…
Read MoreMiracles of Jesus // Feeding of the 5,000
Our God is a God of miracles. In one of Jesus’ most famous miracles in the Bible, Jesus feeds 5,000 men (probably more like 15,000 to 20,000 people) with only five loaves of bread and two small fish. When we place a little in the hands of Jesus, He multiplies it and more. So often,…

The story of Jesus healing at the Pool of Bethesda is more than just a physical miracle—it’s a picture of spiritual transformation. Just as the man had been waiting for years by the pool, stuck in his condition, many of us find ourselves trapped in cycles of waiting, hoping for change but unsure of how…
