    Teacher: Michael Craven. Welcome to part two of our Citizens of Heaven series! Today, we're focusing on what it means to live with a true biblical worldview in a changing world. A Christian worldview isn't optional—it's essential to our faith. Many believers today lack a full understanding of this, so we must reclaim the whole gospel story: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. As image-bearers of God, we're called not just to believe, but to live out our faith by engaging with the world around us for God's glory.

    We're reminded that the gospel is about more than personal salvation—it's about redeeming all of creation. Everything from politics to art is part of God's kingdom and should reflect His glory. Our role is to participate in this redemption, shaping culture under the rule of King Jesus, as we look ahead to the ultimate restoration of all things.

    Teacher: Josh Fortney. Welcome to the final week of our series on Ecclesiastes! Today, we’re looking at the closing message in Ecclesiastes 12:8-14. The Teacher has shown us how life can feel meaningless when we focus only on what’s “under the sun,” but the book ends with a clear and hopeful call to fear God and keep His commandments. As we wrap up, we’ll be reminded that real purpose and hope are found when we trust in God’s justice and live in obedience to Him. Join us as we explore these important truths and find encouragement in our faith!

    Teacher: Daniel Smith. Welcome to Week Eleven of "Under the Sun: A Study on the Book of Ecclesiastes"! Today, we’ll explore the lessons in Ecclesiastes 11, where we learn about the importance of making Christ the center of our lives. The Teacher’s perspective suggests that life is uncertain and full of challenges, and if we place anything else at the center, life can fall apart.

    As believers, we are reminded to keep Christ at the core, trusting that He brings true peace and purpose. Join us as we break free from the struggles of self-centered living and find encouragement in the hope that Scripture provides.

    Teacher: Josh Fortney. Welcome to week 9 of "Under the Sun: A Study on the Book of Ecclesiastes"! This Sunday, Josh Fortney dives into Ecclesiastes 9, continuing to contrast between what life looks like with an "under the sun" (the teacher's pessimism) mentality versus an "above the sun" (the true message of the book) mentality. Josh emphasizes the inevitability of death and the shared fate of both the righteous and the wicked, encouraging believers that in light of that reality, we are to relinquish control, revel in today, and be ready for eternity!
