Fear & Obey God
Sermons from Aberdeen Christian Fellowship
Solomon’s Story: Youth is meaningless In this sermon, Vijay concludes the series this on Ecclesiastes, by speaking on the last two chapters. He tells us about the joys of being young and how we are told to enjoy our youth, but not to forget the hard times and to not put pleasure above everything else. We also see the hardships of growing old and what can be seen, without God, as the tragedy of death. Vijay concludes this series by showing how the nihilistic worldview of Ecclesiastes can shake us into realising what gives life meaning, which is God. - Ecclesiastes 11.7-12.14
info_outlineVijay starts a short series that traces the storyline of the Bible as God's commitment to bless creation. In this first sermon he looks at the story beginning from creation to the account at Babel. When God creates humans, he blesses them with the capacity to flourish, enjoy God's creation and enjoy healthy relationship with others. This capacity for blessedness is ultimately rooted in a right relationship with God. But not only are humans to enjoy such blessing, they are also to be instruments of it as they enrich others. The story from the Fall to the Tower of Babel is that humans fail to both enjoy such blessing and to pass it on to others. What will God do ensure that his intention will indeed come to pass? That will be the subject of the next sermon.
