What can sorrow teach us that comfort often cannot? In “The School of Sorrow,” Pastor Wesley DeVries walks through Ecclesiastes 7 Vs 1-14 to show how God can use grief, correction, and life’s limitations to make us wise. We’re encouraged to build a life of faithful character, choose patience over pride, and live in the present without letting anger or nostalgia take over. We can enjoy God’s blessings today and trust Him through adversity, even when we don’t know what tomorrow holds. Our hope is in Jesus Christ, who faced death and rose victorious over it.

From Series: "Under the Sun (Ecclesiastes)"

What is the meaning of life in a world where everything seems temporary? In this 13-part journey through Ecclesiastes, we confront the restlessness, repetition, injustice, pleasure, work, wisdom, sorrow, aging, and death that define life “under the sun.” With unflinching honesty, the Preacher exposes the emptiness of trying to find lasting satisfaction in anything this world can offer. Yet Ecclesiastes is not a message of despair. It teaches us to receive life as a gift from God, to live wisely and boldly in an uncertain world, and to remember our Creator while we still have breath. Join us as we explore one of the Bible’s strangest and most beautiful books—and discover how its ancient wisdom speaks directly to the questions we are still asking today.
