    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jul12.pdf * Today, we come to our final study of Solomon's proclamation of what he has discovered regarding meaning and purpose in life. He has struggled to see purpose in life as he considers that same types of things happen to people across various cultural boundaries. The rich and the poor, the powerful and the weak, and the wise and the foolish, all experience afflictions in life, and in the end all will die. What you have attained in this world - under the sun - will not go with you past the grave. That, to Solomon, caused everything in life to be meaningless and a vanity of vanities. His philosophy of life was limited to the Temporal Pleasures rather than a comprehension of the Eternal Rewards. * As we come into the final two chapters of the book, Solomon deals with the end result of his musings. How should all of this affect my living as I consider my future - both temporal and eternal? Solomon provides two key pieces of wisdom to his readers: As you prepare for your temporal future on the earth: sow seeds ... and As you prepare for your eternal future: serve YHWH. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on July 12, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jul05.pdf * Throughout our study of the book of Ecclesiastes, we have continually dealt with Solomon's flawed fatalistic philosophy of life as he considers everything in life - under the sun - as pure vanity and a grasping for the wind. * At the end of last week's message, Solomon turned to the topic of wisdom as part of his illustration of a small city that was delivered from a great siege, laid by a great king, through the wisdom of a poor wise man. He continues to share the importance of not neglecting wisdom - and the application of wisdom - in the affairs of life. * Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge and experience to make good decisions and judgments. It involves discernment and the capacity to understand complex life situations. * Prudence is the ability to govern and discipline oneself by use of reason. It is knowing how to avoid embarrassment or stress, and having discretion in practical affairs. * Prudence is the practical application of wisdom in the affairs of life. * Today, we want to examine how we should "Remember Our Creator in Our Application of Wisdom ... or in Our Prudence." * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on July 5, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    12 Ecclesiastes 9:1-18 (Remember Your Creator In Your Legacy)
    2026/06/28
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jun28.pdf * In the second message of this series, we discussed Remembering Your Creator in Your Philosophy of Life. In that message, we considered Solomon's erroneous view that any interconnectedness of reality under the sun is a grasping for the wind and meaningless, and core truths which should shape a Biblical framework of philosophy: the Exclusivity of God and the Eternalness of Man. * Today, we consider another passage where Solomon is considering "the meaningless of life under the sun" as a result of his faulty fatalistic philosophy of life. * Life is full of countless events and choices. One of the things that bothers many people is that they cannot control all of these events and happenings. * One of those major considerations is the desire to be "remembered;" to have a lasting "Legacy." Your legacy is the impact and memories that a you leave behind that continue to influence others after you are gone. Since, you cannot control everything that happens to you, you cannot ultimately predetermine your "legacy." It will be a result of the decisions you made in response to the situations and events in which you lived. * Through this series, the theme has been to "Remember Your Creator" in the various phases of life. Today, we consider the need to "Remember Your Creator in Your Legacy" ... which, in my mind, is equated to declaring "Remember Your Creator in Your Responses to the Events of Life." * As I traverse this adventure of life there are various influences or factors which work together to determine my path, and my ultimate end. Solomon considers these in his musings and then provides an illustration which brings an opportunity to ponder how these factors flow together to impact many people at one time. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 28, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    11 Ecclesiastes 8:2-17 (Remember Your Creator In Your Choice of Leaders)
    2026/06/21
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jun21.pdf * Over the past two weeks, we have considered that what we say and where we spend our money are indicators of the content of our heart. Jesus said out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and that your heart will be planted next to your treasure. * Today, we will see how important the Leader of a Land is on the morality of the land. But, because of the type of governance that we have in this land, we get to choose our leaders - and we then tend to choose leaders who again reflect what is in our hearts! * As we consider Solomon's expression of the Impact of the Reigning King we will then consider the applicational importance of our ability to choose a leader in different realms of our lives. * Each day, we make a choice as to who we want to be our "Leader" - and there are MANY options! That "Leader" will be the primary influencer, instructor, and master of our lives - whether we care to admit it or not. Therefore, like Joshua we need to make a cognitive decision regarding who we, and our household, will serve. And that decision will have to be renewed daily! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 21, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    10 Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:2 (Remember Your Creator In Your Wealth)
    2026/06/14
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jun14.pdf Last week, we began our study of Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 by remembering Jesus admonition to the Pharisees that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. We prove what is in our hearts by what we say and what we do. Jesus also declared earlier that another indicator of the motivations of our heart is our attitude toward wealth. In Matthew 6:19-21 we read: "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. * In the United States, wealth has become the focal point of "the American Dream." As we in the rest of this chapter, Solomon's flawed fatalistic philosophical outlook is now focused upon the futility of "wealth" as he begins to meditate on the fact that he can't take it with him! * The Scriptures have a lot to say regarding our attitude, acquisition and administration of wealth, and finances specifically. Today, Lord willing, we will briefly consider what the Scriptures have to say regarding our Pursuit of Money and our Use of Money. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 14, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    09 Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 (Remember Your Creator In Your Approach to God)
    2026/06/07
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jun07.pdf * Last week, we considered the call to Remember Your Creator in Your Consideration of Others. In that study, we saw that we need to consider the value and needs of the oppressed, our neighbors and those who are "alone" chiefly because they are created by God in His image and likeness - just as we are! * In the study, we reviewed again that the greatest command is to love YHWH our God with all of our heart, soul and strength ... and that the second is like unto it: to love our neighbors as ourselves. * So, it makes sense that after our consideration of our approach towards others that we would consider our approach to God Himself. It almost seems redundant to declare that we need to Remember Your Creator in Your Approach to God ...who is Your Creator! But, sadly, it is a truth of which many "Christians" need to be reminded. * In Ecclesiastes 5, Solomon again speaks truth mixed with his flawed fatalistic philosophical outlook. Lord willing, we will be considering the need to Remember Our Creator in Our Approach to God in the Presence of God and in Our Promises to God. * The theme throughout these verses is the important of our words. As Jesus declared, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. (Luke 6:45) * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 7, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    08 Ecclesiastes 4:1-12 (Remember Your Creator In Your Consideration of Others)
    2026/05/31
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May31.pdf * We are entering into the second half of our study of the book of Ecclesiastes. Over the past two weeks, we have considered the importance of Remembering Our Creator in Our Labor and in Our Season of Life. In each of those studies, we saw the importance of redeeming time and the importance of our consideration of others. * Today, we turn to that Consideration as our focus ... Remembering Your Creator in Your Consideration of Others. * As we considered the topic of Remembering Your Creator in Your Pursuit of Wisdom, we saw that there are actually two "wisdoms" - "Worldly Wisdom" and "Heavenly Wisdom." One of the primary distinguishing factors between these two wisdoms is who is targeted beneficiary of our actions. "Worldly wisdom" is self-focused because we are truly our own god. "Heavenly wisdom" focuses upon God and others as it seeks to be aligned with the greatest commands: to Love God and to Love Your Neighbor. * Paul encouraged believers to have the "mind of Christ" which would be revealed in how we treat, or consider, others. Philippians 2:1-5 states, "Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." * Today, we will examine how this mindset is the antithesis of that of those who have a worldly mindset. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 31, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    07 Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (Remember Your Creator In Your Season of Life)
    2026/05/24
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May24.pdf * Last week, we considered Remembering Your Creator in Your Labor. As we ended that study looking at a proper Biblical Perspective of Labor, we considered how much Scripture adjures us to be diligent in our labor by not being lazy, but rather redeeming the time knowing that the days are evil. * Today, we continue that line of thought considering the redemption of time. * In "Bob's Philosophy of Life," a fulfilled Christian life is found through "The redemption of that which cannot be saved in order to invest in the redemption of that which can be saved by laying all that I am on the altar in order that YHWH may alter all that I am!" * Lord willing, today we will have a study in Contrasts considering Time v. Events; Positive v. Negative Events; Cyclical v. Linear views of time ... and then a consideration of how the Sovereignty of God is intricately woven into a proper Biblical understanding of time, events, and our seasons of life. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 24, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
