Pastor Jeremy Ward 1 Kings 8 Blessing the LORD goes beyond thanking Him for His gifts—it declares who He is. From 1 Kings 8, Solomon blesses the LORD because God kept every promise and revealed His glory at the temple. Surrounded by sacrifice, kneeling in humility, Solomon shows that blessing the LORD flows from redeemed access and reverence. Scripture calls believers not only to give thanks, but to rise higher in worship—adoring God for His character, faithfulness, and covenant love. As we enter the Thanksgiving season, we are reminded to echo Solomon and David: “Bless the LORD,” not only for what He gives, but for who He is.

Pastor Jeremy Ward Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 Life’s seasons can feel random, confusing, or even chaotic — but Solomon shows us they’re anything but. In Ecclesiastes 3, he reveals that every “time” and every “season” is ordered by God, who makes all things beautiful in His time. We may only see tangled threads from our perspective on earth, but God is weaving a perfect design we’ll understand in eternity. This message will help you trust God’s timing and find peace in His eternal purpose.

Pastor Jeremy Ward Ecclesiastes 2:12-26

Pastor Jeremy Ward Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 Why do we chase pleasure, possessions, and achievements, hoping to find lasting joy? In Ecclesiastes 2, Solomon explores the human longing to recreate paradise—Eden—through wisdom, pleasure, and accomplishment. He tests laughter, luxury, and building projects, only to find that every attempt to build paradise without God leads to emptiness. Solomon’s journey reveals that true fulfillment isn’t found in experiences or possessions, but in the presence of God. The ache for Eden is satisfied not by what we create, but by entering into relationship with Christ, who restores our joy and leads us back to fellowship with God. The paradise we crave is not under the sun, but in the Son—Jesus Christ. Discover how the restless heart finds rest and the wandering soul finds home in Him. “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy.” (Psalm 16:11) #Ecclesiastes #ChristianSermon #BibleStudy #Faith #JesusChrist #Eden #SpiritualJourney #Purpose #Joy #PresenceOfGod #SundaySermon #Gospel #Restoration #Solomon #Paradise

Pastor Jeremy Ward 1 Kings 3; Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 Solomon, the wisest king, discovered that human wisdom has real limits. He observed life deeply, diagnosed its problems, and gained unmatched knowledge—but found it all empty without God. Wisdom alone can’t satisfy the soul, fix what’s broken, or answer life’s deepest questions. True meaning and peace come not from intellect, but from seeking God’s perspective and trusting His Word. The end of human wisdom is the beginning of divine wisdom—found in Christ, “in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Let’s remember: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”

Pastor Jeremy Ward This message from Ecclesiastes 1:1–11 explores Solomon’s search for meaning “under the sun” and reveals the emptiness of life apart from God. Through vivid reflections on human striving, the endless cycles of nature, and the weariness of history, the sermon shows how every pursuit without God ends in futility. Yet, through Christ—the One who entered our weary world and rose in victory—life gains eternal purpose. What seems fleeting becomes forever when viewed “above the sun.”

Pastor Jeremy Ward In this final message from our Fruit of the Spirit series, we explore the Spirit’s transforming work of temperance—the quiet strength of a soul under the Holy Spirit’s control. True temperance isn’t mere self-discipline or human restraint; it’s the Spirit’s mastery over our desires, emotions, and will. Through Scripture and example, we see how the Spirit guards our words, governs our thoughts, guides our reactions, and grants us victory over the impulses of the flesh. This message calls believers to live fully surrendered to the Spirit’s leadership—where strength is sanctified, emotion is submitted, and Christ’s likeness is formed within us.

Pastor Jeremy Ward This sermon surveys the biblical meaning of meekness—not as weakness, but as the Spirit-shaped posture of humility that arises from recognizing God’s greatness. Drawing lessons from Job, Moses, and Paul, it shows how meekness submits to God’s providence, shapes our relationships with others through grace and gentleness, and brings peace by trusting God’s rule. Jesus Himself modeled perfect meekness, and we are called to follow in His steps, resting in God’s promises and reflecting His character to the world.

Faith's Fullness Pastor Jeremy Ward Galatians 5:22-23 In this sermon from Galatians 5:22, we see that saving faith is God’s gift of grace, and faithfulness is the Spirit’s work in our lives. True faith is never barren but produces constancy, loyalty, and integrity. Through examples like Daniel, Joseph, and Paul, we are reminded that faith is received as God’s gift, returned in grateful obedience, and ultimately rewarded with commendation, consolation, and eternal fellowship with Christ. We are called to finish well and live so that future generations may find us faithful.
