  • One Foot in the Grave | Kyle Kotrch
    Apr 6 2026

    What if the emptiness you fear most is actually the doorway to the fullness you've been searching for? You'll discover how the book of Ecclesiastes confronts our deepest anxieties about death and meaninglessness, only to point us toward Jesus' promise of abundant life. Through examining the contrast between life "under the sun" and life in Christ, you can expect to wrestle with what it means to remember your Creator and embrace the invitation to life to the fullest. This explores how Easter morning transformed everything—moving from tear-stained grief at a tomb to the joy of discovering that death no longer has the final word.

  • Lie of Control | Kyle Kotrch
    Mar 30 2026

    Are you trying to control every aspect of your life, or are you ready to truly surrender it all to God? You'll discover how the lie of control keeps us from experiencing the fullest life God has for us, and why living each day as if it could be your last changes everything. Through the wisdom of Ecclesiastes and the example of Jesus washing his disciples' feet, you can expect to be challenged on whether you're seeking comfort or genuine surrender in your finances, relationships, family, and future. You'll learn what it means to move from a devotional life to a truly devoted life of humble service.

    Mar 23 2026

    Are you trying to break through limits God never intended you to cross, or refusing to accept the healthy boundaries He's placed in your life? In our culture's obsession with speed, efficiency, and breaking every barrier, you'll discover how to discern which limits God is calling you to push through by faith and which ones are actually gifts meant to draw you closer to Him. You can expect to wrestle with the tension between comfort and trust, and receive practical insight on how wisdom isn't about escaping your limits but about trusting the God who stands beyond them. This exploration will challenge you to stop chasing perfection and instead embrace participation in what God is doing in your life.

  • Where Am I Going? | Brian Blum
    Mar 16 2026

    What are you building with your life that will actually outlast you? You'll discover why work, family, and even power can't provide the lasting legacy we're all searching for—and why only one thing can anchor your life with eternal significance. Through a journey in Ecclesiastes 4, you can expect to identify where you've been placing your hope and learn how to pass on the only legacy that truly matters. You'll be challenged to answer two critical questions: where is your legacy anchored, and who are you passing the baton to?

  • Doing Time | Kyle Kotrch
    Mar 9 2026

    Have you ever felt like your current season—whether filled with pain or uncertainty—means the game is over? You'll discover how every season of life, from planting to uprooting, from weeping to dancing, is divinely appointed by God and holds purpose beyond what you can see. Through the lens of Ecclesiastes 3, you can expect to find hope that your limitations cannot hold back God's loving kindness, and that as long as you have breath, there's still time on the clock for God to work. You'll be invited to actively participate in seeing God's kingdom and glory in whatever season you're walking through right now.

  • Bursting the Bubble | Blake Hicks
    Mar 2 2026

    Are you chasing pleasure but still missing true happiness?

Through Solomon's journey in Ecclesiastes, you can expect to learn the three critical connections you need to break in your life to find lasting joy. You'll walk away understanding that real happiness isn't found in what you do or what you have, but in who you are in Christ.

  • Walk Humbly | Kyle Kotrch
    Feb 23 2026

    What does it truly mean to worship God in a way that reflects His heart? You'll discover that loving God isn't just about personal devotion or church attendance—it's inseparable from how you love and serve your neighbors, especially the vulnerable and marginalized. Through the lens of Micah 6:8 and Jesus's teaching about the sheep and goats, you can expect to be challenged about what active faith looks like in daily life. You'll learn that God measures our faithfulness not by our theological knowledge or religious performance, but by how we care for "the least of these"—the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner among us.

  • Love Mercy | Kyle Kotrch
    Feb 16 2026

    What if God's mercy is more active and tangible than you've ever imagined? You'll discover how God's character holds justice and mercy together in perfect harmony, and why His standard remains unshakable even as His mercy rises to meet our rebellion. Through the story of Moses and the golden calf, you'll see that mercy isn't passive—it's hesed, a loyal covenant love that keeps showing up even when we don't deserve it. You can expect to be challenged to move beyond knowing about God's mercy to actively participating in it through practical acts of compassion toward those society overlooks.
