SERMON RECAP
Death By Living
September 4, 2022 || Ecclesiastes 11:1-12:8
MAIN POINT: Don’t spend your life trying not to die, spend your life living for Christ with all your might.
Spend life. (11:1-6)
Enjoy life. (11:7-10).
Commit all of life to God. (12:1-8)
“Chapters [in life] are divided by various things—age, strength, singleness, marriage, employment, children at home, children in college, grandchildren, retirement, etc. No chapter has all the joys. Finite life is a series of trade-offs. Finding God’s will, and living for the glory of Christ to the full in every chapter is what makes it a success, not whether it reads like somebody else’s chapter or whether it has in it what only another chapter will bring.”
John Piper

TGKIDS RECAP
TGKids
The heart of TGKids is to help children understand that the Bible is all about Jesus! Below is the story, scripture, and main teaching points from the TGKids lesson, so that you can talk with your kids about what they learned.
Bible Story: God Has Mercy on Israel
Scripture: Exodus 33—34
Bible Truth: God for gives Israel’s sin.
Where is Jesus: Hebrews 12:18–25
This passage begins by talking about the mountain that Moses went up on to receive the Ten Commandments. It reminds us how the people had to stay far away from God. Moses was a good mediator for the Israelites, but the perfect mediator is Jesus. Now we do not need to be afraid to come to God. Our mediator, Jesus, has made peace with God for us.
The only reason God accepted Moses as a mediator was because God knew that one day the promised Savior would come and be a perfect mediator.
