Stewardship # 1 - Satisfaction NOT Guaranteed
When Solomon summarized his thoughts concerning the meaning of life, one of the areas he addressed was the pursuit of worldly riches. While not fully resolving the issue, he lays before his readers some of the vanities of such a pursuit, as well as some of the dangers and warnings.
True Satisfaction
Solomon teaches how to find meaning in life. 1. Enjoy a God-centered life, avoid sin, and be aware of the future judgment. 2. Remember your Creator and redeem the time. 3. Fear God and obey Him.

Death by Irreligion
Death is not just something that happens to us when we die; the Bible describes it as a present reality when we are disconnected from God. This week we'll consider how irreligion leads to the present reality of death, and how the Gospel changes everything.
