Join us for worship! Worship Leader: Dave Stoltzfus Speaker: Dave Royes Title: The Ruins of Folly Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:13-16 Better was a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who no longer knew how to take advice. For he went from prison to the throne, though in his own kingdom he had been born poor. I saw all the living who move about under the sun, along with that youth who was to stand in the king's place. There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind. Notes: Main point: The ruins of this life are meant to lead us to the riches of God 1. Introduction A. A marvelous mansion in ruins B. Main point 2. An instructive contrast leads A.

Join us for worship! 5/17/2026 Sunday Service from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship Leader: Randy Hepler Speaker: Dave Royes Title: Wisdom for Seeing Sorrow Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:10 Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness. I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work. I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts. For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the e...

Join us for worship! Worship Leader: Luke Stoltzfus Speaker: Dave Royes Title: Thinking About Little Children Scripture: Matthew 11:25-30 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
