In “Being In God’s Timing Produces Peace,” Pastor Billy Island teaches us that when life feels out of control, peace seems out of reach. But Ecclesiastes reminds us that God makes everything beautiful in its time. When we stop s...

Can you really have it all—and still feel empty? In Ecclesiastes 1–2, King Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest man in history, wrestled with that exact question. He built, achieved, acquired, and indulged in every pleasure, only to discover it was all “meaningless…a chasing after the wind.”

In “You Can Have It All and Still Regret It,” Pastor James explores Solomon’s journey to uncover why chasing success, pleasure, and possessions ...
