    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May17.pdf * Solomon allowed his heart to be turned away from YHWH, and he forgot (or minimized) his Creator. As a result, he began to pursue to self-pleasure and ultimately began to worship foreign gods. * In his pursuit of self-pleasure, Solomon found that - apart from the Creator - all things are vanity. * One of Solomon's major pursuits for fulfillment and pleasure was in his building projects ... which he refers to as his labors - his toil. * Again, we want to consider Solomon's flawed perspective regarding "labor" and then what should be our philosophy and perspective regarding work and labor as we live our days "under the sun." * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 17, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May10.pdf * In our study of the book of Ecclesiastes, we have seen that though Solomon began his reign with a heart for YHWH and seeking His wisdom, he allowed his heart to be turned away from YHWH by his foreign wives to the point that he began to worship false gods. * Solomon's apostasy was revealed in his secular, temporal philosophy of life and his pursuit of self-pleasure. * Today, we will consider how Solomon's apostasy also affected the wisdom that God had graciously and supernaturally granted him. * In our portion of Scripture we see the contrast between the wise and the fool. However, not always are those who are considered wise truly "wise" from a Biblical perspective. * Before we consider the Declarations of Solomon regarding wisdom, the wise, and the foolish, we will want to consider the definition of the Hebrew terms and the Difference between worldly wisdom and heavenly wisdom. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 10, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    04 Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 (Remember Your Creator In Your Pursuit of Pleasure)
    2026/05/03
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May03.pdf * In our study of the book of Ecclesiastes, we have considered Solomon's background, his misguided philosophy of life, and ... last week ... his decision to purposefully consult with his own heart and trouble his own heart. In those studies, we then considered the Biblical exhortation that is in response to each of these - the need to Remember Your Creator in the Days of your Youth, the need to Remember Your Creator in Your Philosophy of Life, and the need to Remember Your Creator in Your Heart. * Last week, we specifically considered the need to set your heart on God and to love Him with ALL of your heart. Those who do so will subsequently see the need to set their heart on God's Word - memorizing it, meditating on it, and modeling it in their lives. * As we establish ourselves in a Biblical philosophy and set our hearts upon God, it will inspire us to pursue avenues of pleasure that are consistent with those other choices. * Sadly, we see in Solomon's life that this progression of thought is also true in those who have an unbiblical philosophy of life and choose to set their heart upon themselves. The avenues of pleasure that they choose will be toward the pursuit of self-pleasure. * As Americans we should be very familiar with our topic today, for the Declaration of Independence declares that there are three unalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That last term is our focus today - our happiness. What makes us happy? What pleases us, or brings us pleasure? * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 3, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    03 Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:3 (Remember Your Creator In Your Heart)
    2026/04/26
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Apr26.pdf * Two weeks ago we began a study of Solomon's discourse of philosophical thoughts contained in the book of Ecclesiastes. In that message, we saw that Solomon was a young man who grew up in a family containing much discord, distrust and intrigue. He became the king at a young age and at first seemed to have a desire for serving YHWH as David did. However, Solomon began a process where his heart eventually turned to serving other "gods." * Last week, we considered the importance of retaining the basic truths of the Exclusiveness of YHWH and the Eternalness of Man in your philosophy of life. Today, we will consider one last foundational consideration as we consider Solomon's analysis of life "under the sun" as pure "vanity." * Throughout Scripture and life in general, the "Heart" is used to define the core of your being as revealed by your desires and will, from the perspective primarily of our emotions in contrast to our intellect. Our "desires" refers to our passions; our "will" refers to our courage or enthusiasm. * Jesus stated, "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." (Matthew 12:34) Also, He declared, "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies." (Matthew 15:18-19) * As we will see, Solomon not only allowed his heart to be "beguiled," but he purposefully turned it! Solomon sadly knew the folly of this decision, for in Proverbs 4:23 he declared, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on April 26, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    02 Ecclesiastes 1:1-4, 12-14; 11:9-12:8,13-14 (Remember Your Creator In Your Philosophy of Life)
    2026/04/19
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Apr19.pdf * Last week we began a study of Solomon's discourse of philosophical thoughts contained in the book of Ecclesiastes. As we began our study, we examined the life of Solomon in order to begin to understand the background of the man who God used to pen these words. Solomon was a young man who grew up in a family containing much discord, distrust and intrigue. * As we continue to approach an understanding of the theme of the book - Solomon's quest for a source of contentment, or fulfillment - we need to consider the difference between western and eastern "Philosophy." We, generally speaking, are influenced by our western culture philosophical frame of mind. However, Solomon wasn't from the western culture. Rather, Solomon was more of the eastern culture philosophical mindset. * In Western Philosophy, the concepts of existence and ethics are primarily discussed using logic and intellectualism, and focus primarily upon individualism - our rights and potentials. In Eastern Philosophy, the concepts of existence and ethics are more considered from the perspective of "community" and are primarily "discussed" through a meditational understanding of the interconnectedness of reality. * Today, we want examine Solomon's erroneous view that any interconnectedness of reality under the sun is a grasping for the wind and meaningless. The goal today is to understand and apply the core two truths which should shape anyone's Philosophy of Life - using either a Western or Eastern framework. Those two core truths are the Exclusiveness of YHWH and the Eternalness of man. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on April 19, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    2026/04/12
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Apr12.pdf * This week, we are beginning a new study - in the book of Ecclesiastes. Many have had a variety of opinions regarding this book. However, as we will see today, this book reveals the viewpoint of life apart from a focus on God - a part from God, life is ultimately "meaningless." * The book of Ecclesiastes was written by Solomon from the perspective of an individual who was searching for meaning and purpose in life - apart from God. Solomon found out the truth - apart from an eternal relationship with the Creator God life is empty. "Vanity of vanities" is the end result of all pursuits for in the end everyone dies. However, if we apply the lesson which Solomon learned - "remember your Creator in the days of your youth" - then we find that there is meaning and purpose, not only in this life but into eternity as well. In this study of the book of Ecclesiastes, we will consider the true purpose of each of these phases of life which Solomon found to be but vanity "under the sun" by considering them while "remembering" our Creator God! * Today, we want to consider a proper understanding of the author of the book and it's theme. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on April 12, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

  • The Fulfillment of the Spring Feast (Pt 2 The Firstfruits)

    The Fulfillment of the Spring Feast (Pt 2 The Firstfruits)
    2026/04/05
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Apr05.pdf Last Sunday, we began to look at Christ's fulfillment of the three spring feasts of Israel - Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits. * In that message, we saw that YHWH had declared a specific order of events that would occur in the celebration of these feasts beginning with the Selection of the Lamb on the 10th day of Nisan. That lamb was then supposed to sacrificed at twilight on the 14th day. The Feast of Unleavened Bread would then begin on the 15th day (which begins at sundown) with the eating of the lamb which was roasted. The first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread was also to be considered a Holy Convocation (a Special Sabbath) to YHWH. * The Feast of Firstfruits fell on the 1st day of the week which followed the weekly Sabbath of the Passover celebration. That would be day when Jesus rose from the dead! The women came to the tomb while it was yet dark and found the stone rolled away with the tomb empty! As recorded in the original Greek of Matthew 28:1, there were actually more than one "Sabbaths" between the time that Jesus died and rose from the dead (those would have been the 1st day of Unleavened Bread and the weekly Sabbath). * Jesus sacrificial death on the cross fulfilled the Passover sacrifice and became the basis for the fellowship of the church, and a desire for us to live "unleavened" (sinless) lives. * Today, we will see the importance of His fulfillment of the Feast of Firstfruits to the Completion of the Good News, the Confirmation of your Faith, and the Consummation of Future Events! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on April 5, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

  • The Fulfillment of the Spring Feast (Pt 1 The Passover Lamb)

    The Fulfillment of the Spring Feast (Pt 1 The Passover Lamb)
    2026/03/29
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Mar29.pdf * This Sunday is generally referred to as "Palm Sunday." It is the day the global church recalls and celebrates "The Triumphal Entry" of the Messiah - Jesus - into the city of Jerusalem. This coming week has traditionally been referred to as "The Passion Week." While we understand the word "passion" to refer to a strong or powerful emotion or lust; however, it actually comes from the Latin word "passio" which means "to suffer." So, literally, this is the week of "Christ's Suffering." * Biblically speaking, this week is the week of the prophetic fulfillment of the three spring feasts: Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First-fruits. Each of these feasts pointed to Christ and the consummation of YHWH's Redemptive Plan in the 1st Coming of Christ. (* As an aside, the next feast: The Feast of Weeks - or Pentecost - pointed to the giving of the Law and the giving of Grace. The final three feasts - Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles - all point toward Christ's 2nd coming and millennial reign on earth. *) * Today, we recall that two thousand years ago Jesus fulfilled prophetic signs which were proclaimed three thousand three hundred years ago! * Our goal for this week and next Sunday is to consider Christ's Fulfillment of the three Spring Feasts. Today, we will consider Christ as the Passover Lamb. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on March 29, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
