Solomon, in Ecclesiastes 9 speaks about the common responses to the theme of death: Escape, endurance, and enjoyment. Only the believer faces death with joy. The Teacher shows us how in four areas. Chapter 9 is about two inescapable conclusions about life that should yield our hearts into the hands of Almighty God.

This Sunday (November 11th) is Homeless Sunday, a time for Christians to consider the plight of those without permanent shelter.  A broken world has broken people. Homelessness is not an issue; it’s about people!  The problem is complex.  Sunday we will talk about the raw stats and the major causes of homelessness, and what our response must be as God’s agents of grace.  God has revealed His heart in the way He structured Old Testament laws regarding the poor.  The New Testament continues to reveal God’s heart by removing the word “mandatory” and replacing it with the word “mercy.”
