About this episode

Pastor Brandon Beals discusses the importance of living with purpose and perspective through the lens of Solomon's reflections in Ecclesiastes.

Life moves faster than we realize. One day you blink, and years have passed. So what are we doing with the time God has given us? In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our Chasing Purpose series by looking at Solomon’s final reflections in Ecclesiastes. After a life filled with wealth, influence, success, and regret, Solomon gives wisdom for how to live a life that actually matters. Through stories from the Dominican Republic, the Light Bearers Project, a powerful memorial service, and reflections on legacy, Pastor Brandon reminds us of three important truths: invest in the future, enjoy the season you are in, and keep God at the center of everything. If you want your life to leave a lasting impact, this message will encourage you to live with purpose, perspective, and eternity in mind. 0:00 – YouTube Welcome from Pastor Brandon0:22 – Memorial Day Weekend Welcome0:44 – Opening Prayer1:11 – Pastor Brandon’s Recent Trip Recap1:23 – Dominican Republic Trip + Solar Electricity Project1:46 – Country Music Awards + Travel Week2:10 – Brett Allen’s Memorial2:54 – Ecclesiastes as Solomon’s Final Speech3:21 – Dominican Republic Photos + Magdalena4:02 – Confronted by Poverty and…
