In The Pursuit: Wealth Without Joy (Week 7), Pastor Bartley Sawatsky explores Ecclesiastes 6, where Solomon reflects on the emptiness of wealth without the ability to enjoy it. This passage warns that prosperity alone cannot bring true fulfillment if God is not at the center of our lives. Pastor Bartley challenges us to seek contentment in God rather than in material success, reminding us that joy comes not from what we have but from whom we trust.
