The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

On Father's Day, Dads, what is your favorite thing to do? What about taking your kids fishing and having "that talk"--not THAT talk! How about talking to your kids about the meaning of life? What is the meaning of life, after all? Join the Grace United crew as we go on a little "fishing trip" as "dad" talks to us about what life really is all about. Note: There are no visuals after the first minute of the message.

The Big "C" is a dreaded word in our world. "C" is painful. Surgery is almost always needed to cut the cancer out. But there is a big "C" in the Scripture as well. Circumcision. Circumcision is commanded for . . . all God's people. "But" we might say, "how can circumcision be commanded for all of God's people? Isn't it supposed to be for males only? Well, not exactly, although males in Israel are commanded to get the Big "C". What is God after? What exactly is circumcision for anyway? Come with the Grace United crew as we explore this all important issue of circumcision and what it means for ALL of God's people, Old Covenant or New Covenant saints.

Solomon asks us to think about what's important in life, and why everything is empty unless it's informed by a relationship with God.

People live competing stories. These stories explain reality, explain who we are, where we're going, why we're here, and how everything ends. The Christian faith is the real story. It's the only story.

Easter is the message of God's reconciliation. It's when God calls sinners to come in from the cold and join His family.

Solomon appeals to the real you, the person behind the public face, to choose God over empty things.

Each piece of armor used in this metaphor is a spiritual Character to be developed and lived into. Walking close to Christ produces a deeper relationship which bears fruit of Character and faith.

Everyone has a story that drives his life. A set of values, expectations, and reason for being. Paul had one, too. In this passage, his point is that God’s story is the better story. We so often make our own story, but scripture tells us a better way.

Solomon shows us the emptiness of a life lived for temporary things. He urges us to find peace and rest in Jesus.

When Mary Magdalene saw the tomb empty, she thought they had stolen Jesus' body. Even though Jesus foretold his resurrection, it was difficult to believe that it could happen. When we are in a crisis and feel afraid, it's difficult for us to believe that God will rescue us. But Jesus taught his followers to fight for the truth - He is with us always.

To be an effective disciple, you must die to yourself and overcome your fears.

“Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their…

So far, the picture presented by the Preacher is pretty depressing. It is so negative that we have to be on guard not to get caught up in the gloom ourselves. We do this by continuing to remember that Solomon is presenting an under the sun view of life rather than a life centered in the life of God,…

The Preacher uses many colorful metaphors to describe the vanity of everything he sees and does. In many ways, the Book of Ecclesiastes purposely paints the despair and futility he feels with the most colorful terms. He describes life to the endless cycles of the wind, the water, and other “natural”…
