    09 Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 (Remember Your Creator In Your Approach to God)

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jun07.pdf * Last week, we considered the call to Remember Your Creator in Your Consideration of Others. In that study, we saw that we need to consider the value and needs of the oppressed, our neighbors and those who are "alone" chiefly because they are created by God in His image and likeness - just as we are! * In the study, we reviewed again that the greatest command is to love YHWH our God with all of our heart, soul and strength ... and that the second is like unto it: to love our neighbors as ourselves. * So, it makes sense that after our consideration of our approach towards others that we would consider our approach to God Himself. It almost seems redundant to declare that we need to Remember Your Creator in Your Approach to God ...who is Your Creator! But, sadly, it is a truth of which many "Christians" need to be reminded. * In Ecclesiastes 5, Solomon again speaks truth mixed with his flawed fatalistic philosophical outlook. Lord willing, we will be considering the need to Remember Our Creator in Our Approach to God in the Presence of God and in Our Promises to God. * The theme throughout these verses is the important of our words. As Jesus declared, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. (Luke 6:45) * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 7, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    08 Ecclesiastes 4:1-12 (Remember Your Creator In Your Consideration of Others)

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May31.pdf * We are entering into the second half of our study of the book of Ecclesiastes. Over the past two weeks, we have considered the importance of Remembering Our Creator in Our Labor and in Our Season of Life. In each of those studies, we saw the importance of redeeming time and the importance of our consideration of others. * Today, we turn to that Consideration as our focus ... Remembering Your Creator in Your Consideration of Others. * As we considered the topic of Remembering Your Creator in Your Pursuit of Wisdom, we saw that there are actually two "wisdoms" - "Worldly Wisdom" and "Heavenly Wisdom." One of the primary distinguishing factors between these two wisdoms is who is targeted beneficiary of our actions. "Worldly wisdom" is self-focused because we are truly our own god. "Heavenly wisdom" focuses upon God and others as it seeks to be aligned with the greatest commands: to Love God and to Love Your Neighbor. * Paul encouraged believers to have the "mind of Christ" which would be revealed in how we treat, or consider, others. Philippians 2:1-5 states, "Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." * Today, we will examine how this mindset is the antithesis of that of those who have a worldly mindset. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 31, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    07 Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (Remember Your Creator In Your Season of Life)

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May24.pdf * Last week, we considered Remembering Your Creator in Your Labor. As we ended that study looking at a proper Biblical Perspective of Labor, we considered how much Scripture adjures us to be diligent in our labor by not being lazy, but rather redeeming the time knowing that the days are evil. * Today, we continue that line of thought considering the redemption of time. * In "Bob's Philosophy of Life," a fulfilled Christian life is found through "The redemption of that which cannot be saved in order to invest in the redemption of that which can be saved by laying all that I am on the altar in order that YHWH may alter all that I am!" * Lord willing, today we will have a study in Contrasts considering Time v. Events; Positive v. Negative Events; Cyclical v. Linear views of time ... and then a consideration of how the Sovereignty of God is intricately woven into a proper Biblical understanding of time, events, and our seasons of life. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 24, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    06 Ecclesiastes 2:18-26; 3:9-13; 5:18 (Remember Your Creator In Your Labor)

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May17.pdf * Solomon allowed his heart to be turned away from YHWH, and he forgot (or minimized) his Creator. As a result, he began to pursue to self-pleasure and ultimately began to worship foreign gods. * In his pursuit of self-pleasure, Solomon found that - apart from the Creator - all things are vanity. * One of Solomon's major pursuits for fulfillment and pleasure was in his building projects ... which he refers to as his labors - his toil. * Again, we want to consider Solomon's flawed perspective regarding "labor" and then what should be our philosophy and perspective regarding work and labor as we live our days "under the sun." * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 17, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    05 Ecclesiastes 2:12-17; 7:1-8:1 (Remember Your Creator In Your Pursuit of Wisdom)

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May10.pdf * In our study of the book of Ecclesiastes, we have seen that though Solomon began his reign with a heart for YHWH and seeking His wisdom, he allowed his heart to be turned away from YHWH by his foreign wives to the point that he began to worship false gods. * Solomon's apostasy was revealed in his secular, temporal philosophy of life and his pursuit of self-pleasure. * Today, we will consider how Solomon's apostasy also affected the wisdom that God had graciously and supernaturally granted him. * In our portion of Scripture we see the contrast between the wise and the fool. However, not always are those who are considered wise truly "wise" from a Biblical perspective. * Before we consider the Declarations of Solomon regarding wisdom, the wise, and the foolish, we will want to consider the definition of the Hebrew terms and the Difference between worldly wisdom and heavenly wisdom. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 10, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    04 Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 (Remember Your Creator In Your Pursuit of Pleasure)

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May03.pdf * In our study of the book of Ecclesiastes, we have considered Solomon's background, his misguided philosophy of life, and ... last week ... his decision to purposefully consult with his own heart and trouble his own heart. In those studies, we then considered the Biblical exhortation that is in response to each of these - the need to Remember Your Creator in the Days of your Youth, the need to Remember Your Creator in Your Philosophy of Life, and the need to Remember Your Creator in Your Heart. * Last week, we specifically considered the need to set your heart on God and to love Him with ALL of your heart. Those who do so will subsequently see the need to set their heart on God's Word - memorizing it, meditating on it, and modeling it in their lives. * As we establish ourselves in a Biblical philosophy and set our hearts upon God, it will inspire us to pursue avenues of pleasure that are consistent with those other choices. * Sadly, we see in Solomon's life that this progression of thought is also true in those who have an unbiblical philosophy of life and choose to set their heart upon themselves. The avenues of pleasure that they choose will be toward the pursuit of self-pleasure. * As Americans we should be very familiar with our topic today, for the Declaration of Independence declares that there are three unalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That last term is our focus today - our happiness. What makes us happy? What pleases us, or brings us pleasure? * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 3, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    03 Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:3 (Remember Your Creator In Your Heart)

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Apr26.pdf * Two weeks ago we began a study of Solomon's discourse of philosophical thoughts contained in the book of Ecclesiastes. In that message, we saw that Solomon was a young man who grew up in a family containing much discord, distrust and intrigue. He became the king at a young age and at first seemed to have a desire for serving YHWH as David did. However, Solomon began a process where his heart eventually turned to serving other "gods." * Last week, we considered the importance of retaining the basic truths of the Exclusiveness of YHWH and the Eternalness of Man in your philosophy of life. Today, we will consider one last foundational consideration as we consider Solomon's analysis of life "under the sun" as pure "vanity." * Throughout Scripture and life in general, the "Heart" is used to define the core of your being as revealed by your desires and will, from the perspective primarily of our emotions in contrast to our intellect. Our "desires" refers to our passions; our "will" refers to our courage or enthusiasm. * Jesus stated, "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." (Matthew 12:34) Also, He declared, "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies." (Matthew 15:18-19) * As we will see, Solomon not only allowed his heart to be "beguiled," but he purposefully turned it! Solomon sadly knew the folly of this decision, for in Proverbs 4:23 he declared, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on April 26, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    02 Ecclesiastes 1:1-4, 12-14; 11:9-12:8,13-14 (Remember Your Creator In Your Philosophy of Life)

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Apr19.pdf * Last week we began a study of Solomon's discourse of philosophical thoughts contained in the book of Ecclesiastes. As we began our study, we examined the life of Solomon in order to begin to understand the background of the man who God used to pen these words. Solomon was a young man who grew up in a family containing much discord, distrust and intrigue. * As we continue to approach an understanding of the theme of the book - Solomon's quest for a source of contentment, or fulfillment - we need to consider the difference between western and eastern "Philosophy." We, generally speaking, are influenced by our western culture philosophical frame of mind. However, Solomon wasn't from the western culture. Rather, Solomon was more of the eastern culture philosophical mindset. * In Western Philosophy, the concepts of existence and ethics are primarily discussed using logic and intellectualism, and focus primarily upon individualism - our rights and potentials. In Eastern Philosophy, the concepts of existence and ethics are more considered from the perspective of "community" and are primarily "discussed" through a meditational understanding of the interconnectedness of reality. * Today, we want examine Solomon's erroneous view that any interconnectedness of reality under the sun is a grasping for the wind and meaningless. The goal today is to understand and apply the core two truths which should shape anyone's Philosophy of Life - using either a Western or Eastern framework. Those two core truths are the Exclusiveness of YHWH and the Eternalness of man. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on April 19, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
