9/13/26 Worship Service & Sermon: The End of the Matter - Ecclesiastes 12:8-14

Join us for Worship! 9/13/26 Sunday Service from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship Leader: John Sletta Speaker: Dave Royes Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:8-14 Title: The End of The Matter Outline: 1. The Gift Ecclesiastes Is 2. The Effect Ecclesiastes Has 3. The Call Ecclesiastes Makes Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity. Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth. The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. Notes: Main point: Life's vanity is directing us to live for eternity. 1. Introduction A. A teacher-tutor dynamic B. Main point 2. The gift Ecclesiastes brings A. A delightful work of wisdom B. A true work of wisdom 3. The effect Ecclesiastes has A. Wisdom redirects us B.

Application "The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead." --Acts 17:30-31 #eternity #fear #obedience #ecclesiastes To connect with Brick Lane, visit our website at: https://www.brick52.org/ For more biblical teaching, you can also listen to audio sermons at: https://www.brick52.org/audio-sermons

Scripture: Luke 12:13-21 Title: The Test of Prosperity Speaker: David Royes Someone in the crowd said to [Jesus], "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbiter over you?" And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat drin...
