Worship Leader: Luke Stoltzfus Speaker: Dave Royes Title: Fearing God in Crooked Days Scripture: Ecclesiastes 7:13-18 Sermon Outline: 1. God controls what is crooked 2. God decrees every day 3. God preserves his people Consider the work of God: who can make straight what he has made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.

It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your ha...

Worship Leader: John Sletta Speaker: Mark Estes Scripture: Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 Title: A Pocketful of Paradoxes It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart.

Join us for worship! 6/28/26 Sunday Service from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship Leader: Tyler Estes Speaker: Dave Royes Title: How to Live in the Fear of God Scripture: Ecclesiastes 6:10-7:29 Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he. The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man? For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun? A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth. It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the h...
