Summary
In this message from our Life on Trial series, Pastor Nic walks through the limits of human perspective and the peace that comes from trusting God’s providence. When we only see life from an “under the sun” point of view, hardship, injustice, authority, and uncertainty can feel frustrating and meaningless. But Ecclesiastes reminds us that while we may not always understand what God is doing, we can still trust that He is in control. This message unpacks how to respond when life feels unfair, how to navigate imperfect authority, why Sabbath and simple enjoyment are acts of faith, and why people are not machines to be fixed but souls in need of healing. Even when life does not make sense, Jesus invites us to trust Him, follow Him, and believe that He can work through our pain over time.
