Solomon acknowledges that death and despair may otherwise defeat us, until we look above the sun and see Jesus who pleased the Father and now invites us to enjoy him even when exhausted in life. 

Solomon shows us that self-centered consumption, creation, and celebration are meaningless. Instead of settling for delight under the sun, Solomon instead encourages us to find our greatest delight in the God who reigns above the sun. 

The Preacher shows us that secular smarts won't satisfy, but are instead a means God may use to help us learn fresh appreciation for the Lord. Therefore, the Preacher encourages us to learn what God gives, what man lacks, and what the Greater Solomon, Jesus, provides. 

The Preacher opens our journey through Ecclesiastes by presenting a world in which we need hope above the sun instead of settling for life under the sun. Amidst the empty misery, endless monotony of imagining life without God, Solomon prompts us to see that the only truly new and satisfying thing is knowing God through faith in Jesus Christ who offers the eternal ministry of salvation. 

Tim Elliott preaches the doctrines of God's grace found in Ephesians 2. 

Paul's last words to the Philippian church reveal his devotion to them and desire for them to live as holy siblings, heavenly citizens, and humble sojourners in Christ Jesus. 

Generous financial giving is the result of contentment in Christ and in pursuit of glory to God. Therefore, Paul commends the believer to give for eternal gain by partnering in the church as family, pursuing eternal fruit, and persevering by faith in God's provision. 

The Apostle Paul exhorts the church to ponder praiseworthy things in their brain, practice godly things in their body, and persevere by believing God goes with them into whatever the future holds. 

Join us as Rob Stephens from Aletheia College Park Church preaches on Matthew 21:1-11

Amidst the anxieties of life, the Apostle Paul encourages the church to find peace in God's presence by treasuring, talking to, and trusting in Christ alone.

The Apostle Paul commends the church to be joyful, gentle, and prayerful as the God-centered solution when they are fearful. 

The Apostle Paul wants the church to be devoted to Christ and each other, more than divided in selfish ambition. Toward that end, Paul encourages them to show affection, seek agreement, and serve each other with appreciation for their roles in ministry and inclusion in God's family. 

In Philippians 3:17-21 the Apostle Paul encourages the church to faithfully focus on knowing and making known God. To do so, he commends the church to walk with the saints, be wary of sinful temptation, and wait eagerly for the Savior.

The Apostle Paul encourages the church in Philippi to passionately pursue the greatest of prizes: knowing God. Toward that end, he exhorts the church to rejoice humbly, run intentionally, and re-frame life biblically.

• God is Powerful • God is Perfect • God is Personal

The Apostle Paul encourages the church to keep growing in knowing God by abandoning legalist pride, appreciating sovereign grace, and abiding in transformative communion with Christ. 

The Apostle Paul encourages the church to shine like stars in dark society primarily by sticking together in ministry. In Phil 2:19-30 he points to the shining sacrificial lives of Timothy and Epaphroditus while putting a call to the church to similarly have selfless concern, strong commitment, and sovereign confidence that living worthy of the gospel is worth it.

In Philippians 2:14-18 the Apostle Paul encourages the church at Philippi to shine as bright gospel ambassadors amidst a dark secular culture. Specifically, we're called to halt our whining, hold on to the word of life, and help others worship Christ. 

The Apostle Paul exhorts the church to grow in godliness. His strategy for sanctification includes encouraging the saints, examining ourselves, and embracing the Spirit's help.
