Audio Ministry - Winter 2009 Series:

Overcoming Your Temptations

I Can Control My World
(Ecc. 3:9-11; 8:16-17)
What does it mean to have abundant life in a meaningless world? We will start in Ecclesiastes to show the pursuits of Solomon and how they do not satisfy, then we will set up the series by using the idea of control to show what people pursue in order to control their world.

Relationships Bring Me Fulfillment
(Gen 2:24; Ecc. 4:9-12)
In this lesson we will deal with the questions that deal with relationships. Why do we need relationships? How can we pursue proper rather than destructive relationships?

Money Brings Me Freedom
(Ecc. 10:9; Prov. 10:15-16)
In this lesson we will interact with the ideas of money the world has, the importance of money and its proper use, and how to get free from the love of money.

Pleasure Will Satisfy Me
(Ps. 104:14-15; Ecc. 5:18-20, 7:2-4)
Pleasure was designed by God for His people, but when pleasure becomes the end pursuit of our life, we spend our life foolishly and wake up one day in a bitter end. We need to consider God’s design for life!

Knowledge Will Put Me On Top
(Ecc. 1:13-18)
Some feel that acquiring new knowledge is the answer to their problems and so they pursue new knowledge or experience to gain an edge. But knowledge has limits and wisdom is a better pursuit!

My Spirituality Will Save Me
(Ecc. 5:1-6)
There are many who desire to talk about “spirituality”. But religious experience can be an idol that takes us away from God. How can we get a proper perspective on this important matter?

I Will Have a Long Life if I Take Care of My Body
(Ecc. 12:1-7)
As a society we have done an admirable job of promoting life. American culture is young, vibrant and upbeat. But it is also fleeting. There is a balance of healthy living to be pursued but not worshipped.
