You're Not In Control

What if the seasons of life we resist most are actually the ones where God is doing his deepest work? Ecclesiastes 3 opens with a truth that is both unsettling and deeply freeing: there is a time for everything under heaven. Not just the good things, but the hard things too. The losses, the waiting, the grief, the uncertainty. We spend so much energy trying to control our circumstances, trying to manufacture the season we want, that we miss the invitation to be faithful in the season we are actually in. This message walks us through one of the most quoted passages in all of Scripture and unpacks what it really means to trust a God who holds the whole story together when we can only see one chapter. The key tension here is not whether God is working, but whether we are willing to receive what he is doing without demanding an explanation first. Faith, it turns out, is not about having all the answers. It is about trusting the one who does.
