Middle-of-the-Road or Perfection - Igor Alexis
May 22, 2024 • Pastor Igor Alexis • Ecclesiastes 7:15–18
What is the meaning of life? The Teacher looked for it in five earthly spheres: wisdom, pleasure, power, community service, and religion. Ultimately, none of them satisfied. Why?

What does this have to do with being lukewarm or perfect? Listen and find out.

December 13, 2023 • Pastor Igor Alexis • Deuteronomy 10:12–13, Ecclesiastes 12:8–14
The book of Ecclesiastes raises a lot of questions with which people have always struggled, like: what is the meaning of life? The Teacher searched various earthly philosophies and concluded that life is meaningless. But Pastor Igor stresses that life does have meaning if you understand Who has put us here and why.

Trust and Obey - Igor Alexis
October 29, 2023 • Pastor Igor Alexis • Exodus 17:1–7, 1 Corinthians 10:1–4
Is the Lord with us or not? That was the question the Children of Israel asked in the wilderness when they were thirsty. Having been delivered miraculously from Egypt, having been fed with manna from heaven, having already been provided with water by the Lord, they still did not trust His provision for them. Pastor Igor asks, do WE trust God to provide for us when times of testing and trials arise?
Whose Heart Do You Have?
October 15, 2023 • Pastor Igor Alexis
In this powerful study, Pastor Igor points out that Jonah is not so much a book of prophecy as it is a story of the prophet himself. Jonah is called to give a warning from God to an enemy nation and runs from that calling, not out of fear, but out of hatred. God didn't want Nineveh's destruction; He wanted their repentance. But what pleased God, displeased Jonah. Does God's compassion and mercy on others displease us? Pastor Igor reminds us that God wants to save people from ALL nations.

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 - Pastor Igor
December 2, 2021 • Pastor Igor Alexis
Imagine a book in the Bible where God is silent, and instead man's philosophy is forefront. Today Pastor Igor opens an Old Testament book that was never quoted by New Testament authors. Why did God have Ecclesiastes included in the canon of scripture? We'll see it is a book that asks a question that is answered elsewhere.
