Wisdom for Your Words: So Much Talk!
Ecclesiastes 10:11-15
A Christian's walk and his talk ought to be consistent with each other. Sadly, many saints of God are guilty of fruitless speech. Follow the example of our Savior and ask Him to fill your speech with grace and truth.

Sharpening the Axe

Broken Hedges
Ecclesiastes 10:8-9
Rules are an essential part of life. God-ordained hedges are not built to keep us from enjoying life but to keep evil from us. God's commands are designed to protect us and provide us with an abundant life.

Lessons in Leadership
Ecclesiastes 10:2-7, 16-20
Leadership is not merely about those you are over, but about what principles you are under. We have a tendency to make much about being in charge, yet the Bible emphasizes the importance of leaders who follow God first.

Dead Flies
Ecclesiastes 10:1

As Long As There Is Life There Is Hope

The Devil constantly tries to convince us that nothing in life is worth living for. God, the Sustainer of life, created you to live a life that satisfies Him and you. Give your life in hope to the One who gave it to you!

True and False
Ecclesiastes 9:1-12
The most dangerous error is that which is closest to the truth. Even King Solomon struggled with the truth about death! The reality of death can either drive you nearer to God or send you into a cynical spiral.

What Is at Hand and What Is Ahead
Haggai 2:20-23
The God who made time is in your past, present, and future simultaneously. Just as He was faithful in the past, He is faithful right now and in the days ahead. We must simply do what the Lord requires of us today, resting in His faithfulness to do what He's promised.

When You Cannot Make Sense of What You See
Ecclesiastes 8:14-17
Walking by faith, not by sight, is a universal principle throughout the Old and New Testaments. It is not our task to rationalize everything we see, but we are tasked with resting in God's greatness over all things.

Give It Time!
Ecclesiastes 8:9-13
Our culture is enamored with immediate gratification, yet the work of the Lord is not always instantaneous. God always prevails, but the victory does not happen overnight. Be sure that He will bring truth to light eventually!

The Uncertainty of Death
Ecclesiastes 8:8
If you knew where you were going to die, would you ever go to that place? The truth is, we cannot know how or when we will die. You do what God has given you the power to do today and leave the rest to Him.

God’s Safety Net
Ecclesiastes 8:2-7
There is safety in submitting. When we submit to those in authority over us, we are ultimately acknowledging that God is the highest Authority. Having the right attitude toward the King of kings will strengthen our spirit toward our earthly authorities.

Your Countenance Is Showing!
Ecclesiastes 8:1
If you want your countenance to be right, first focus on your heart. The beauty of Christ can be seen through a Christian. When you regularly draw near to Him, He will transform you. As He transforms you, your countenace will change.

Don’t Miss Jesus!
Haggai 2:1-9
It is possible to go through the motions of the Christian life without truly being saved. It is also possible to be saved and foolishly live a life without an intimate fellowship with Jesus. How sincere is your walk with the Lord?

Spiritual Accounting
Ecclesiastes 7:27-29
We live in families and identify with different groups, yet each person has personal accountability to God. It is rare to find an individual sold out for this sole purpose. Will you live today in light of God's judgment?

More Bitter Than Death
Ecclesiastes 7:26
Hallelujah, death has no sting on the child of God! However, did you know there is something more bitter than death to a Christian? The Bible states that living in bondage to sin hurts far worse because it creates a divide between you and your Father.

The Source of Real Wisdom
Ecclesiastes 7:23-25
Well-meaning and highly educated people can still be foolish. Even the greatest of knowledge found in this world, when divorced from God, is worthless, because it lacks wisdom. You cannot have this wisdom without having Jesus.

Pay No Attention to Their Words
Ecclesiastes 7:21-22
Just as surely as people will say things they ought not say, you will commit the same sin. The human tendency is to be hard on others and easy on ourselves. Ultimately, we are all answerable to God for every idle word we speak.

True Strength
Ecclesiastes 7:19-20
Unlike pop culture, the emphasis of Scripture is not on the body but the soul. True strength is spiritual, not physical. Learning to lean heavily on the Lord will empower you for the hardest battles of life.

Consider Your Ways – Ch. 2
Haggai 2:10-19
