This past weekend, we continued our Chasing the Wind series with a sobering but beautiful message titled “The Wisdom of Sorrow” from Ecclesiastes 7:1-4.

Solomon invites us to lean into life’s harder moments—not to become discouraged, but to discover the depth of reflection, clarity, and humility that sorrow often brings.

“The heart of the wise is in a house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in a house of pleasure.” (Ecclesiastes 7:4)

Key Takeaways from This Weekend’s Message

• Sorrow has a way of refining us. In seasons of grief, we often gain a clearer view of what truly matters.
• Hardship draws us closer to God. When we mourn, we’re reminded of our dependence on Him—and His faithfulness in every season.
• Joy that’s rooted in wisdom runs deeper. True joy doesn’t ignore pain—it sees beyond it to God’s eternal purpose.

Solomon reminds us that while laughter is fleeting, sorrow often leaves us changed in a way that’s holy, lasting, and wise.

Coming Up This Weekend: Grateful Living 🙌🏽

This weekend, we’ll continue in Ecclesiastes with a message titled “Grateful Living” from Ecclesiastes 9:1-12. Life is a gift, and Solomon challenges us to stop living on autopilot and start living with purpose, gratitude, and joy—even in the face of uncertainty.

We’ll reflect on how to fully embrace the time we’ve been given and honor God with how we live it. You won’t want to miss it!
