This Sunday we are starting two new series in our services. In the mornings we are joining with lots of churches across the country looking at the Ten Commandments: Just10 and in our evenings we will be exploring the wonderful wisdom found in Ecclesiastes.
I have just finished the sermon for Sunday morning, which is looking at the tenth commandment – do not covet. It has been really refreshing, turning it on its head and considering what brings contentment. I won’t give you any spoilers here, but I am looking forward to the whole series and hope many people will be as blessed as I have been by it.
Ecclesiastes is an interesting book as well. It is found tucked away in the middle of the Old Testament (just next to Song of Songs) and is a reflection on the meaning of life. Not the Monty Python film, but looking at what makes sense in life. That’s going to be an exciting challenge too!
What I am being reminded of is that God’s ancient wisdom still makes great sense for us today. We may need to apply it differently to our cultural context, but the core truth is the same. For best results follow the Maker’s instructions.
