After all our praying from step 1 to step 5 (Eph 3:16-19) we reach the summit of God's glory to find a heavenly Father with open arms and ready to do even more than we could ask or imagine!

Check out my new video! (video made with @headlinervideo)

Eph 2:19-22 Dont Forget your Formation!

King Solomon gives us 4 life-hacks to help us navigate this crooked world. Looking "up" to Jesus Christ (who alone straightens anything) is The Ultimate Life-Hack benefiting anyone in Him with wisdom and righteousness and so much more. 
 
1. Don’t try to straighten what is crooked (vv15-17) 
Look up! Colossians 3:1-4 – faith ; Prov. 23:7 
2. Fear God (v18) 
Look up! Phil 3:17-21; Eccl 12:13-14 
3. Get Wisdom (v19) 
4. Remember who you are (vv20-22) 
Look up! Col 3:5-11 – repentance

No Looking Down Eccl 7:15-22

The facets of mankind's problems are many and Solomon, without apology, shows us The Problem. Notwithstanding, God has provided us a solution to such a degree that not only are these problems solved but we have no excuse to allow any problem to inhibit our service to God and our fellow man. 
 
Big Idea: King Solomon emphasizes the scope and gravity of mankind’s problems in life pushing his listeners to cling to God in faith Eccl 6 
 
1. Problem: Life has no space for a fantasy of utopia (6:1) 
 
• Cash and fame are problems (6:2-3) 
• Children and long life are problems (6:4-6) 
• Desires and appetites are problems (6:7) 
• The wise and foolish are problems (6:8) 
• The rich and prudent are problems (6:9) 
 
2. The Problem: God (6:10-12) Eccl 7:13 
3. No Problem: in Jesus 
Eccl 12:13-14 / 1 Pet 2:9-10
