  Being Responsible vs. Trying to Be God | Reverberate Podcast

  Aug 18, 202628 min

  Title: Being Responsible vs. Trying to Be God --- 0:00 Introduction 0:25 Isn't Every Decision an Attempt to Control the Outcome? 6:29 Influencing Outcomes vs. "Making Sure" of an Outcome 15:32 Ecclesiastes Makes Me Feel Like There's No Point 27:01 What's Next --- Ecclesiastes 7:13–15 Consider the work of God: who can make straight what he has made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him. In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. (ESV) --- Pastor Jed, Pastor Isaias, and Jason discuss how Ecclesiastes 7:13–15 challenges our desire to control the future. Christians should make wise choices, pursue good, and work for good outcomes. Yet faithfulness does not give us the power to guarantee results. Prosperity and adversity both remain in God’s hands, and painful outcomes do not automatically mean we acted wrongly. Instead of giving up when righteousness seems unrewarded, we can keep doing what is good, live faithfully in the present, and trust God’s character, compassion, and eternal purposes. --- Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.

  Wisdom and Watching the Wind | Ecclesiastes 11

  Aug 16, 202646 min

  Title: Wisdom and Watching the Wind --- 0:00 - Life is Risky 3:27 - Reading Ecclesiastes 11 4:58 - Cast Your Bread on the Waters 6:59 - Prideful Responses to Risk 9:28 - Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket 14:13 - Diversifying Your Risks in Various Areas of Life 17:17 - Studying God's Patterns Is Still Helpful 20:11 - Don't Limit Doing Good Because of Risk 23:13 - Keep Planting Seeds, Because You Don't Know the Future 30:35 - Pursuing Good Is a Work of the Ministry 34:22 - Enjoy Good 35:36 - Hardship Is Fleeting 39:00 - There's Always Risk. Do Good Anyways. 41:05 - How We Can Apply Solomon's Wisdom on Risk --- Ecclesiastes 11 Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what disaster may happen on earth. If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth, and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie. He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good. Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun. So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity. Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity. (ESV) --- In Ecclesiastes 11, Solomon teaches us how to live wisely in a life filled with risk. Since we cannot know or control the future, we must resist both reckless confidence and fearful inaction. Instead, we should take wise risks, spread out those risks, and keep doing good without demanding immediate or predictable results. Like a farmer who continues planting because he does not know which seeds will grow, believers should faithfully invest in their relationships, work, ministry, and spiritual growth while trusting God to give the increase. We are also called to enjoy God’s good gifts with a clear conscience, remembering that both joy and hardship are fleeting. Wisdom accepts uncertainty, pursues what is good, and trusts the results to God. --- Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.

  What Your Hunger Says About Your Worship | Reverberate Podcast

  Aug 11, 202630 min

  Title: What Your Hunger Says About Your Worship --- 0:00 Introduction 0:37 Why Do We Even Have Appetites? 6:24 Is Goal-Driven Motivation the Same as Trying to Control Life? 10:08 How Do We Pursue God While Pursuing Our Appetites? 15:29 Is Dissatisfaction Always a Sin? 19:43 Distinguishing Satisfaction and Joy 25:35 We Can Ruin Joy By Holding On Too Tightly 29:02 What's Next? --- Ecclesiastes 6:7–9 All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied. For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living? Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind. (ESV) --- Ecclesiastes tells us that our appetites never stay satisfied. Does that mean our desires are wrong? Pastor Jed, Pastor Isaias, and Jason discuss how God-given desires for food, relationships, meaningful work, and other good things can become sinful when we expect them to provide lasting satisfaction or give us control over life. They consider how Christians can pursue goals without trusting in outcomes, grieve what is broken, and enjoy God’s gifts without holding them too tightly. Lasting satisfaction comes from God alone, but that frees us to receive fleeting joys with gratitude. --- Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.

  When Wisdom Becomes Idolatry | Ecclesiastes 10

  Aug 9, 202634 min

  Title: When Wisdom Becomes Idolatry --- 0:00 Pursuing Wisdom Without Making It an Idol 1:32 The Example of a Wise Driver 4:56 A Summary of The Teaching of Ecclesiastes 6:35 Reading Ecclesiastes 10 7:04 Appearances Aren't Always Truth 9:28 You Can't Always Tell if Someone is Wise By Looking 10:47 Wisdom Is Not Omniscience 12:30 Wisdom Still Helps Keep You On the Right Path 14:52 More Examples of Appearances Being Deceiving 16:44 So What Can Wisdom Do? 17:25 The Risk of Wisdom 19:52 Wisdom Still Sharpens Your Ax 21:31 Keep Wisdom In It's Proper Place 23:02 Wisdom Gives You Direction 24:09 What Does It Look Like for Wisdom to Sharpen the Ax in Your Life? 28:43 Where Are You Passive? 30:34 Where Do You Need to Sharpen the Ax? --- Ecclesiastes 10 Dead flies make the perfumer’s ointment give off a stench; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. A wise man’s heart inclines him to the right, but a fool’s heart to the left. Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool. If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great offenses to rest. There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were an error proceeding from the ruler: folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place. I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves. He who digs a pit will fall into it, and a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall. He who quarries stones is hurt by them, and he who splits logs is endangered by them. If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed. If the serpent bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage to the charmer. The words of a wise man’s mouth win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is evil madness. A fool multiplies words, though no man knows what is to be, and who can tell him what will be after him? The toil of a fool wearies him, for he does not know the way to the city. Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes feast in the morning! Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of the nobility, and your princes feast at the proper time, for strength, and not for drunkenness! Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks. Bread is made for laughter, and wine gladdens life, and money answers everything. Even in your thoughts, do not curse the king, nor in your bedroom curse the rich, for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter. (ESV) --- Ecclesiastes 10 teaches that wisdom is a good gift from God, but it cannot give us control over life. Wise choices may point us in the right direction, yet they cannot guarantee the outcomes we want. When we expect wisdom to provide certainty, we turn it into an idol and seek the omniscience that belongs to God alone. Wisdom still matters. It sharpens the ax, prepares us for danger, and helps us pursue fruitful work without becoming passive or fearful. We can act wisely, accept the risks that come with meaningful work, and trust God with the results. --- Learn more at berean.church.

  God's Promise to Anxious People | Reverberate Podcast

  Aug 4, 202643 min

  Title: God's Promise to Anxious People --- 0:00 Introduction 0:22 Is Jesus Just Saying "Don't Worry About It?" 5:33 The Contrast of Serving God or Serving Money 8:21 Seeking First The Kingdom as a Cure for Anxiety 10:05 "I Trusted God, And the Thing I Feared Still Happened" 14:51 Developing A Robust Theology of Suffering 22:43 Does God Promise All Our Basic Needs Will Be Met? 33:11 The Focus is God's Love For You 42:57 What's Next? --- Matthew 6:25–34 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (ESV) --- Jesus does more than tell anxious people to stop worrying in Matthew 6:25–34. He points them to their heavenly Father, who knows their needs, values them, and cares for them. Pastor Jed, Pastor Isaias, and Jason discuss how anxiety often grows from our desire for control and safety. They also wrestle with difficult questions about suffering, loss, and Christians whose basic needs are not always met. Jesus does not promise a life without hunger, hardship, or grief. He calls you to trust God’s fatherly care, seek his kingdom, and rest in the eternal hope found in Christ. Even when the thing you fear happens, suffering cannot separate you from the love of God. --- Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.
