The Gospel of Jesus Christ reveals God's purpose (Romans 1-4), demonstrates God's power (Romans 5-8), fulfills God's plan (Romans 9-11) and transforms God's people (Romans 12-16). In chapters 6-8, Paul explains how we are empowered by God to live out of our positional reality in Christ.

Ecclesiastes, Finding Life: Ecclesiastes 12 / Brad Mullen

Tody we hear the 6th and last sermon on the one "Book" of the Bile that is itself a sermon. In it The Preacher tackles the most fundamental question of life - What is the meaning of life? If you've been following along in this series, you might be experiencing "sermon déjà vu." The question persists. The facts don't change. The conclusion is inescapable! But we need them all repeated and reinforced, just as The Preacher has done, because we are chronically slow learners. Today, we come to "the e...
