Summary
In Week 8 of Life on Trial , Nic walks through Ecclesiastes and exposes one of the deeper struggles underneath so many of our frustrations: our need for certainty. Whether it shows up in our desire for control, progress, understanding, order, or specific outcomes, certainty can quietly become the thing we chase more than God Himself. This message challenges us to ask a hard but necessary question: Is Jesus enough? If the path is unclear, the outcome is unknown, and life doesn’t go the way we planned, can we still trust that God is good? Instead of waiting for God to make every step feel safe and certain, we are invited to move forward in faith, obey what He has already made clear, and trust Him with everything we cannot control.
