Pastor Bartley Sawatsky - March 23, 2025
The Folly of Foolishness
In this powerful exploration of Ecclesiastes 10, Pastor Bartley challenges us to confront the reality of life's randomness and our own potential for folly. The central image of 'dead flies in perfume' serves as a stark reminder that even small acts of foolishness can corrupt a lifetime of wisdom. We're urged to be spiritually prepared at all times, recognizing that Satan is always scheming against us. Pastor Bartley emphasizes the importance of developing mental toughness and resilience, especially in our children, to navigate life's inevitable challenges. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to embrace risk and pursue meaningful endeavors, understanding that every worthwhile pursuit comes with potential pain. This teaching invites us to examine our own lives, work smarter rather than harder, and trust in God's ultimate control over history, even when circumstances seem chaotic.
Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 10:1-11, Proverbs 20:11, Ephesians 6:11
From Series: "The Pursuit"
Life can feel like a never-ending search for something more—more success, more happiness, more purpose. But what if the answers we’re chasing can’t be found in the places we’re looking? In The Pursuit, we’ll dive into the book of Ecclesiastes to explore the big questions of life: Why are we here? What truly matters? Can we ever find meaning under the sun? This series invites you to look beyond the superficial and discover how a deeper connection with God brings purpose and hope.
