First Christian Church of Otego

Throughout our lives, God bountifully provides countless opportunities to enjoy the fruits of our labor. All things that God bestows are to be received with thanksgiving and enjoyed in their proper place and time. In view of the limited time we have on this earth, our perspective should always be fixed on The Provider rather than the provided which leads to a proper view of all the earthly benefits and blessings we reap.

Sermon Text: Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

The wisdom of men and the wisdom of God are often contrasted in Scripture to remind us that God's thoughts are not like the thoughts of men. Ultimately, the knowledge and wisdom we gain from this world can never lead us to true satisfaction because it is temporary, troublesome, and fleeting. Only God, eternal and immutable, can instruct the hearts of men in true, godly wisdom and understanding.

It is easy to become busy about the things of this life, but the Preacher reminds us that such busyness will not result in true satisfaction or joy. While this life offers both pleasant and unpleasant moments, they are all momentary, fleeting and, in the end, amount to nothing but forgotten memories. True contentment must be sought in the life to come because this life offers nothing but incessant toil with no lasting peace.

Sermon Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-23

Jesus Christ is the only acceptable, complete, and permanent sacrifice for sin because only He could satisfy the demands of God’s law perfectly. Being truly God and truly man, he is the only hope for humanity to stand unashamed and uncondemned before a thrice-holy God.
