Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

Amen. Outside of Christ, everything is death.

Posted this on Facebook. Now I am going to lose all my friends. Oh well.

How can I (fill in the blank). It's all absolutely futile without Christ. I'm ashamed of myself.

I wish we had more strong and straight to the point preachers like you,brother Tim. The elders and pastors in the Netherlands are predominant lukewarm.

Preach the truth! Thank you for this good word.

Praise God! 3 years later and this message retains its strength! Amazing how so much spiritual "food" can be packed into 8 minutes. Amen!

AMEN

This one touched my bones.

Amen!!!

God replaces futility in our lives with new things by transforming us into new creation. We are transformed by the renewing of the mind. The way we look at things change if we are in Christ! The abundant life that can only be experienced in Christ Jesus. But we are still not excused from problems but HOW we act changes-we respond but not affected by the futility of the world. We Christians are in this World BUT not of this world. We're like fishes in the sea who go against currents since we are alive in Christ Jesus, and dead fish go with the flow of the world being affected by it.

Scriptures are very clear... John 8:31-32 KJV - Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:47 KJV - He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

I believe brother,,,Its all futile , powerful word, going to share this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Please pray for me. I deliberately rejected Christ for so long, almost a year. I was a professing Christian for about 1 year, and I walked away with the intention to get saved later, and to just enjoy sin for a little while. I was an apostate and now I am scared I might commit the unforgivable sin. My issue is that I don't want to surrender my sin. I know I can't do it without God but I dont want God. I wish I wanted God, but I'm not sure if that feeling is genuine or not. I still love sin and I wish I didnt love my sin, I'm not sure if this feeling is sincere or genuine. I've been praying for God to make me hate my sin, but I'm not sure if those prayers are sincere or genuine. Please pray that my desire for salvation becomes genuine and sincere and that God saves me.

Even with god life is futile... because knowing Jesus and seeking a personal relationship with Jehova. Look at Moses walk in desert of 40 years.. look at Job, Joseph. He makes us understand why life is futility.

Wiooiooooow YES PREACH OUR SOCKS OFF

This is too true

Christ says come, I go what now? That's just it? Do i go being pretentious? Come, Come, okay... what is that suppose to mean? I go.. Say I need forgiveness, that's it? Go and pretend im forgiven even when it feels contrary? He says come, what does it means? I go to Him but it feels like if I go, doors locked if He sees my wicked face.. He says He knocks on the doors to our hearts, It's already open to Jesus, whats kept Him from coming? My sins? But I need Him to save me from said sins. Come, come He says, How does one goes?! What spiritual blindness did I got myself into? Is it possible that for someone, going to Jesus is pointless? If I confess He is my saviour, what then? Im saved just like that? He wont cast anyone out, what if He does? If He tells me I never knew you, can I say, Lord, neither do I, but at least I begged. I never did any of His will, nor do I cast out demons, nor do I prophesied, Im merely a lost sinner indeed of You, I cannot save myself. What then? I am fruitless, I feel deranged, I have never felt so sinful in my entire life. Yet when I go to Him, there is no joy. If I say help my unbelief, If I say Help me, why do I not feel it? Feelings and emotions vs faith, but if feelings aren't an indication then why are you so joyful? why are you filled with loved? are those not emotions and feelings?

All that I had worked for I must leave being to the taken by someone else, vanity of vanities💡

One might be tempted to call it... ... Vanity.

I agree with most of the the things he said but not sure about he's claiming who goes to hell. How can he be sure that football player didn't see the glory of the Lord in his last minutes of his life then repented and entered into the heaven by by the grace of God!

THE DEFINITION OF FUTILE IN THE DICTIONARY. "incapable of producing any result; ineffective; useless; not successful"

everything has an aspect of vanity to it. ecclesiaties

buen día yo quisiera q fuera en español las enseñanzas Es

All you focus on is hell hell hell - Jesus came to give us an abundant life right now, He came to save people and set them free from their sins now, so they can live for Him and enjoy life in abundance, you preached a fear based doctrine. A doctrine just focused on punishment… read the book of Acts and you don’t see that, you see excitement for the Gospel and a proclaiming of freedom to people.

So people are going to be weeping while being tormented for eternity? Will their tears continually burn as well?

I don't understand the reference to Grace Community Church. Is it not a good church? Or does he mean it doesn't matter if you go to even a good church, without a relationship with Jesus it doesn't matter?

Only God can condemn man. Not pastor

life without Christ is MUDA MUDA MUDAAA soz

Hell isn't real
