Have you ever felt paralyzed by the "what-ifs" of life—waiting for the perfect conditions before you finally take a step of faith?

In this message on Ecclesiastes 11:1–6, Michael Rowntree unpacks Solomon’s call to bold action in the face of uncertainty, showing that while we cannot control the future or predict disaster, we are still called to "cast our bread" and diversify our efforts.

Yet, he reminds us that true security isn't found in a perfect plan, but in a sovereign God who governs the "wind and the clouds." This invites us to trade our paralysis for purposeful labor, trusting that God can bring success out of our risks even when we don't know which one will prosper.

Have you ever spent years building something—a reputation, a career, or a legacy—only to watch one small, foolish mistake spoil the whole "fragrance"?

In this message on Ecclesiastes 10:1–20, Michael Rowntree unpacks Solomon’s observations of wisdom and folly in both the palace and the workplace, showing that wisdom is incredibly valuable yet remarkably vulnerable to the "dead flies" of sin and bad leadership.

Yet, he reminds us that true stability is found in cultivating a heart that "inclines toward the right," training ourselves to lean into righteousness rather than the quick fix of folly. This invites us to navigate a disordered world with pragmatism, guarding our tongues in times of crisis and receiving every meal, every glass joy, and every day of work as a blessing from God’s hand.

Have you ever felt like a spectator in your own church, wondering if your presence actually makes a difference in the kingdom of God?

In this message on Ephesians 4:7–16, Sam Storms unpacks the divine blueprint for a healthy church, showing that the "work of ministry" is not a job for a few professional clergy members, but a calling for every single believer. He explains that there is no such thing as a "non-gifted" Christian, as Christ has personally distributed grace to each person for the building up of the body.

Yet, he reminds us that our ultimate goal is "mature manhood," a state of spiritual stability where we are no longer easily swayed by false doctrine. This invites us to move beyond spiritual infancy by speaking the truth in love and actively using our unique gifts to help the whole body grow into the likeness of Christ.
