Wrapped up chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes today with the only real solution King Solomon missed—turning from our sins to God’s salvation.
Several people gave their lives to Jesus today at Southbrook Church! When will that get old? NEVER!
Challenged our body not to be ashamed. Seriously, how can any true believer ever be ashamed to identify with the ONE who gave His life for them? It’s mind boggling—also alarming because it may be a pretty strong indication that you’re not really saved. In Luke 12:8 -9, Jesus said, “8 “And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God, 9 but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. And lest you think I’m being too invasive or pushy by suggesting we take a hard look at our faith, consider the words of the apostle Paul on the subject, “5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!” (2 Cor. 13:5). Those are pretty sobering words but ones we’re all better off heeding than ignoring. Think about it.
Seeing people come up for prayer today reminds me that we need to make this available more and more. People are hurting and Jesus is the answer. Sometimes it just helps to know we’re not alone in our prayers.
I’ve shared many times how the book of Ecclesiastes is one of my favorite books of the Bible. Now it’s definitely one of the top 2 I’ve ever taught (The gospel of John being the other one). Invite everyone you know as we continue our “Game of Thrones” series throughout the summer. It actually gets better and better!
