In this message from Pastor Ben Stuart, we study Ecclesiastes 3, which calls us to release our need for control and trust the God who orders every season. When we stop striving to run the universe, we find freedom to live fully in the moment and rest in the One who makes everything beautiful in its time. Key Verses // Ecclesiastes 3

This week on Further In, Pastor Ben Stuart and members of our team sit down to discuss the most recent talk at Passion City Church DC on Ecclesiastes 1-2.

In Ecclesiastes 1–2, King Solomon goes on a search for meaning. He chases three main paths the world still runs after today: pleasure, wisdom, and work. Yet in the end, he calls them all “vanity”—a vapor, a breath, chasing after the wind. In this talk, Pastor Ben Stuart explores what Solomon discovered about success, satisfaction, and the purpose of life apart from God. If you’ve ever wondered why achievements, relationships, or self-improvement never seem to satisfy for long, this talk will help you see where true meaning is found. Key Verses // Ecclesiastes 1-2

For the men, women, and children escaping slavery through the Underground Railroad, spirituals like Wade in the Water carried both coded messages of survival and songs of hope. For generations, God’s people have turned to song to remember who He is. In this final episode, we reflect on how Sabbath ends with remembering and rejoicing—lifting our eyes to the God who has always been our help.
