Selflessness

Pastor Bill Bush · May 15, 2018

Drawing from the book of Ecclesiastes and the story of Ruth, this sermon argues that the deep human longing for 'more' can only be satisfied when we stop making life about ourselves and instead seek God's kingdom first. Solomon's hard-won conclusion — fear God and obey His commands — is illustrated through Ruth and Boaz, who both chose paths that looked like less but yielded far more than they could have imagined. True joy, meaning, and significance come not from accumulating more for ourselves, but from living in right relationship with God and in sacrificial love for others.
