The Path to Lasting Success

This sermon explores the concept of success from a Christian perspective, contrasting worldly definitions with God's view. Using King Solomon's conclusions from Ecclesiastes as a foundation, Lead Pastor Matt Sturdevant highlights that pursuing wealth, fame, and pleasure ultimately leads to emptiness. Instead, true success is defined as faithfulness in God's assignments, regardless of their scale.

This message outlines three elements that please God: trusting Jesus as Savior and Lord, obeying His commands, and faithfully managing our stewardships. The path to lasting success is described as wisdom and is explained through the three dimensions:

1. Righteousness towards God

2. Justice towards people, and

3. Prudence in strategies

The message concludes with an encouragement to evaluate which definition of success you're following, as that definition will guide the course of your life.
