Dear friends at Swedesford Road Church,

I'm excited to be back in the pulpit this week, preaching on Ecclesiastes 5:8-20. The title of my sermon is The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment. The title is from a book by the English Puritan, Jeremiah Burroughs. Here's a description of the author and his work:

Burrough's writings, some published before and others after his death, were numerous, but The Rare-Jewel of Christian Contentment is one of the most valuable of them all. Its author was much concerned to promote (1) peace among believers of various persuasions (2) peace and contentment in the hearts of individual believers during what he describes as sad and sinking times . The Rare Jewel concentrates upon this second aim. It is marked by sanity, clarity, aptness of illustration, and warmth of appeal to the heart.

Our passage in Ecclesiastes is designed to do the same work in our hearts that Burroughs aimed for in his classic encouragement to Christians. These are "sad and sinking times," but God speaks words of joy and encouragement to us right where we are.

Following the service we'll have a brief Q&A and update you on plans for the merger with Harvest.

Your servant in Christ's cause,

--Steve
