Join us as we begin a new study of the book of Philippians. We begin with a historical overview of Paul’s writings, and break down the significance of how Paul greets the people of Philippi in this letter.
Solomon encourages us to live responsible lives in our youth, to set the stage for later years. He then concludes with his guidance for living life: trust God, walk with him in Faith, and obey Him, because everything we do is important.
As we near the end of our study of Ecclesiastes, Solomon explains what a life of Faith, Trust, and Obedience to God should look like.
Solomon shares his message of God’s providence as it relates to human joy: man cannot begin to comprehend God & his infinite power & wisdom, so we are to walk in faith, while trusting & obeying Him, and enjoy all the days of our lives.
Solomon discusses the relationship between God’s sovereignty & human character, and begins sharing perspective on a wise person’s relationship with government.
Dr. Eckman gives final thoughts on God’s perspective regarding adversity & prosperity in our lives, then begins discussion on the relationship between God’s sovereignty & human character.
In Chapter 7, Solomon tells us that God is the author of both adversity & prosperity, and He mingles them together throughout life. We are encouraged to trust God by being happy in ‘good’ times, and to consider the purpose behind seemingly ‘bad’ times.
Final thoughts on truly enjoying fruits of one’s labor as a Christian, and begin discussion on the Providence of God and Wealth.
Dr Eckman leads discussion on man’s inability to enjoy the fruits of our labors, and how it conflicts with man’s understanding of God’s Providence over all.
We continue discussion of the factors of life that seem to contradict God’s providence in our lives. In today’s study, Solomon addresses labor and man’s inappropriate motivations to work hard.
