Cast Your Bread upon the Waters

1 Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that observeth the wind will not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds will not reap. 5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, how the bones grow in the womb of her that is with child, even so thou knowest not the work of God who maketh all.

6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

7 Now the light is sweet, and pleasant is it to the eyes to see the sun; 8 but if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all, yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many: all that cometh is vanity.

9 Rejoice, young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. 10 Then remove discontent from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity. — Ecclesiastes 11 | Literal Emphasis Translation (LET) The Literal Emphasis Bible is in the public domain.

VAPOUR? | THE END OF IT (ECC. 11:1-12:14)

VAPOUR? | THE END OF IT (Ecc. 11 &12) In light of the tensions we face, the unanswered questions, the pain and joy, the disorientation we feel on a daily basis, the response the Narrator gives is, ‘keep having a faith that worships and a faith that walks'

Here’s my longer sermon notes from this morning’s Metro Christian Centre service (dated 23rd April 2023), concluding our series VAPOUR?. This series explores our search for meaning, journeying through the enigmatic book of Ecclesiastes. You can also catch up with this via MCC’s YouTube channel (just give us time to get the video uploaded). ‘My dear partner; When what’s left of you gets around…

Ecclesiastes 11:5 (NLT) - Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.

Chance May Determine the Outcome, But It's More Than Just a Game

Who is going to win the Super Bowl? (Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles 2024 POST 4 – Game Center) Experts say that billions of dollars will be wagered in games of chance by hopeful bettors. Since no one yet knows how the game will end, I guess everyone has a chance to win based on the myriad factors that might influence the final outcome. Is life itself a gamble, or perhaps a game of…

Everything is meaningless!

Daily Verse Reading – Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:8 9 You who are young, be happy while you are young,and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.Follow the ways of your heartand whatever your eyes see,but know that for all these thingsGod will bring you into judgment.10 So then, banish anxiety from your heartand cast off the troubles of your body,for youth and vigor are meaningless. 12…
