Welcome
Our purpose/mission as Windborn Church is to point people to Jesus. We do that as we “hang out” with Jesus. Jesus said, “I am the vine you are the branches…apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). That means that we encourage ourselves and others to “hang out” with Jesus and when He produces fruit in our lives we give Him the glory [in the vernacular we can say, “hey, Jesus is on a fruit spree!”].
It is by grace that we are saved (Ephesians 2.8,9), it is also by grace that we are sanctification (Hebrews 13.20,21). So then, as we live in grace, not human works or efforts of the flesh (Galatians 3) we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to be missional: that we are sent into the world to be a blessing by pointing people to Jesus!

Ecclesiastes
In the book of Ecclesiastes we come face to face with how to handle difficult realities. Life is but a vapor, it sometimes feels "meaningless", and every body dies: the wise and the fool. When experiencing grief we do not cycle through a process we ping-pong through our emotions. So also does Ecclesiastes feel like there is no order or structure to its literary presentation. In the reality of "meaninglessness" the sun breaks through the gloom encouraging us to enjoy the little things in life that come from God.
We will read and study Ecclesiastes so that is stands on it's own two feet; perceiving the intended meaning in the context of the original audience. However, we will also hear the text scream at us, "you cannot live in this life without an eternal perspective." As we read changed by the saving ministry of Jesus and with post Pentecost sensibilities we will not be able to contain ourselves--Jesus is our hope!
