In this message, we take a fresh look at the birth of Jesus—not as a fairy tale, but as a true, world-shaping moment filled with real people, real places, and the unmistakable Sovereignty of God. Through Luke’s Gospel and the prophecies of Micah, we see how God orchestrated every detail to fulfill His promises and reveal His heart. As we unpack the doctrines woven into the Christmas account, we’re reminded that God is still sovereign, still working, and still worthy of our trust in every season of life.

In this message from Ecclesiastes 12, we’re reminded not to wait to get serious about God—remember your Creator now. With humor and biblical depth, this message explores time, aging, priorities, and eternity, along with the danger of letting hustle culture pull our hearts from God. We look at young faith in Scripture, the difference between experience and true wisdom, and practical ways to grow daily intimacy with God. As Ecclesiastes closes, the call is clear: fear God, obey His commands, and live with eternity in view—because now matters more than someday.

In Ecclesiastes 7, Solomon makes a series of surprising statements: funerals are better than parties, sorrow is better than laughter, and criticism is better than praise. At first glance, none of it seems to make sense—until we press in and discover the deep truth behind his words.In this message, we explore why God often uses sorrow, adversity, and seasons of suffering to refine us in ways comfort never can. We look at how grief slows us down, clarifies our priorities, and opens space for God to shape our hearts. We also confront the mystery of suffering—why life doesn’t always add up and why faith must make room for both joy and hardship.If you're walking through a difficult season, this message will encourage you to trust God not only as Deliverer, but as Sustainer. If you're in a season of strength, it will challenge you to look with compassion on those who are hurting.“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed…” — Romans 8:18

In this message from Ecclesiastes 5:10-19, Pastor Dave tackles the myth that money and possessions can satisfy. He shows how even wealth brings stress, anxiety, and the pull of greed, and contrasts living “under the sun” with living “under the Son,” where everything we have belongs to God and is meant for eternal purposes. Learn how to trade guilt for gratitude, greed for generosity, and discover the freedom of stewarding your resources for God’s kingdom. Be encouraged to rethink your relationship with money and pursue true contentment.

In week 5 of our journey through Ecclesiastes, Pastor Dave reminds us that worship isn’t just another item on our Sunday checklist—it’s sacred. From Solomon’s words in Ecclesiastes 5, we’re challenged to “walk prudently” when we come before God. What does it look like to recover a holy reverence for the Lord in an age of casual worship? In this message, Pastor Dave unpacks the fear of the Lord, the purpose of true worship, and how to prepare our hearts to meet with God.

Life doesn’t always feel fair. From injustice in the courts to pain in our personal lives, we often wonder why God allows wrongs to go unpunished. In this message from Ecclesiastes 3–4, Pastor Dave reminds us that while Solomon wrestled with the same questions, ultimate justice belongs to God alone. One day, the Righteous Judge will make every wrong right—and that truth can free us from bitterness, revenge, and despair today.

Life is full of seasons — some joyful, some painful, all purposeful. In this message from Ecclesiastes 3, we’re reminded that God has made everything beautiful in its time. No season is wasted in His plan. Whether you’re in a time of weeping or a time of dancing, God is working for your good and His glory. Discover how trust, patience, and perspective can turn life’s “meaningless” moments into something deeply meaningful through faith in Christ.

In Part 2 of Under the Son, we look deeper into the life of Solomon — a man who had it all but lost what mattered most. From humility and wisdom to pride and emptiness, his story reminds us that life apart from God is hevel — meaningless and fleeting. Pastor Dave unpacks Ecclesiastes 2 and John 15 to show how true purpose is only found when we abide in Christ. If you’ve ever chased success, pleasure, or possessions hoping to find fulfillment, this message will speak straight to your heart.
