SERMON BY: Dr. John Waterloo
SERMON TITLE: It’s a Wonderful Life!
SERMON THEME: God Designed our Life as a Joy-filled Gift
SERMON SERIES: Ecclesiastes
SERMON TEXT: Ecclesiastical 3:1-15
* We won’t understand everything in life. Life is a mystery… on purpose.
* We can see the beauty in life… if we look at it through God’s eyes
* Life includes work… God ordains it
* In this life, we are ordained to good works… do the next good/right thing
* So, we MUST redeem our time (use it wisely)-there are often no do-overs. Opportunities come, so use them! Make sure of your salvation and serve God!
Eccl. 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
Eccl. 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
