Who Will See the Kingdom? (Part 1)
Who will live with God forever? Is a question that all of us should take seriously, and scripture gives us the answer. In this sermon we begin to walk through John 3:1-21, one of Jesus’ most intense evangelistic encounters recorded in the Gospels, which directly lays out the chief requirements for living with God in His eternal kingdom. In part 1 we focus on the necessity of the ‘new birth’ and the meaning of Jesus’ words, “You must be born again”.
The End of the Matter (Part 1)
In Ecclesiastes 12, "the Preacher" brings us to the end of his teaching about the purpose of life in this fallen world.
Life & Its Creaturely Limits
What are the secrets to living a truly abundant life? In Ecclesiastes 11 "the Preacher" teaches us how to live life to the full. Some of what he says may sound like advice you've heard elsewhere, but much of it will certainly not.
Foolishness is the Problem
In Ecclesiastes 10, through a string of seemingly disjointed proverbs, 'the Preacher' teaches us about foolishness and its consequences. In this sermon, we explore what foolishness, where we see it in the world (and ourselves) today, and how to avoid it.
What to Expect from Life
Continuing our series in Ecclesiastes, this sermon considers what "the Preacher" says in Ecclesiastes 9:1-18 about what we can realistically expect from this life. What he says in this passage may not make you feel better, but it will help you live better.
Dealing with Injustice
Injustice is an inevitable reality in this fallen world. This sermon based on Ecclesiastes 8:1-17 explores 4 ways to deal with injustice in a way that honors God.
A Disciple's Renewal

Wisdom is Better than Ease
Digging into Ecclesiastes 7:1-29, we learn that getting wisdom in the difficulties of life is far better than merely trying to escape those difficulties. This sermon focuses on 5 ways to gain wisdom.
Joy and Contentment in Scarcity and Abundance
Pastor Kyle shares some additional passages that tie in with last Sunday's sermon, and finding joy and contentment in any situation.
Trading Joy for More
Looking at Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:12, Zach considers the way our need for "more" stands in the way of true joy.

How to Engage with God
This week Pastor Zach teaches us from Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 focusing on the right way to engage with God in worship.
Who Wants to Read a Book?
After reading David Powlison's excellent book How Does Sanctification Work? this week, Zach is thinking about leading a 2 or 3 week discussion group with people in our church to talk about it and apply it's key teachings to our everyday lives. This video is a call out to anyone interested in being a part of such a group.
A Humble Reopening
How should we think about others with strong and differing opinions on how to interact with one another when we “reopen?”
Surviving a Broken World
Pastor Zach teaches from Ecclesiastes 4 and sheds light on how we ought to live and survive in light of the brokenness of the world we live in.
A Unified Re-opening
In this video, Pastor Zach looks to Ephesians 4:1-3 to encourage us to be gracious and patient with one another at SCC as we consider how to go about reopening our church in the weeks (and perhaps months) to come.
