Many of us are doing what we were taught to do—working hard, caring for family, serving faithfully, and trying to honour God. And yet, beneath the surface, there can be a quiet restlessness that won’t go away. Life can still feel fragile, even when we’re doing everything “right.”

This Sunday in Ecclesiastes 2, we hear the honest voice of Scripture speaking into that tension. The Preacher reflects on a life fully invested in work, achievement, and enjoyment—and then asks the question we often avoid: What does it all finally amount to? Ecclesiastes doesn’t rush to easy answers or shame our questions. Instead, it invites us to face the limits of what we build and to discover a deeper wisdom.

Together, we’ll explore why good things were never meant to carry the weight of ultimate meaning, and how God invites us to receive life—work, joy, and daily bread—as a gift from His hand. Join us as we learn to loosen our grip, trust the Giver, and find rest in what God has already done for us in Christ.

Please pray for Pastor Josh and the team as they prepare for Sunday's service.
