Want to receive Weekly Announcements? March 29-April 4, 2020 A NOTE FROM PASTOR MIKE Grace Church Family, We have so many questions right now. How can I figure this current crisis out? How do I make sense of all information coming my way? Where do I find truth in times like this? And the granddaddy of them all: What is the meaning of life? In this crazy, mixed-up world, where do we find truth, comfort, and direction? Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 begins a larger section (1:12-2:26) regarding looking for satisfaction in all the wrong places. It points us to the answer. We see Solomon tell autobiographically how he went to the world to seek his wisdom. A man who had been endowed by God with so much wisdom, temporarily wandered and left God out of the picture. We can relate, can’t we? We find ourselves easily trying to figure it all out in our own understanding. We get swept up as opinions sweep across the spectrum. It’s tough to figure out what the biblical answers are. This is where worldview becomes crucial. Get ready for a one-two punch, building from Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 (We are not in control!) to Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 (We cannot figure this out!). It leaves you wondering, “Where do I go then? What do I do?” Get ready for the answer on Sunday. Resting in Christ alone, Mike **Check out our podcast!!!! Find it on the website here!
