Scripting the Flip - Ecclesiastes - Chapter 3

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.Solomon had it all — pleasure, progress, wealth, legacy — and still said, "I hated life." But in Ecclesiastes 3, he discovers something more profound: the secret to meaning isn't in chasing everything in every season. The secret is in embracing the season you're in.In this message, we'll explore how to meet God right where you are: whether you're grieving or dancing, building or breaking, asking hard questions or simply holding on. Real joy begins when we stop striving and start trusting.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 22, 2025, at 8:30am.
