Choose the Better Options

Ecclesiastes 7:1-14

BETTER TO BUILD YOUR LEGACY THAN WEALTH

BETTER TO MOURN THAN TO LAUGH

BETTER TO BE REBUKED THAN PRAISED

BETTER TO BE HONEST THAN TAKE SHORT CUTS

BETTER TO BE PATIENT THAN ANGRY

BETTER TO LIVE PRESENT THAN IN YOUR PAST

BETTER TO LIVE WISE THAN BE A FOOL

Remember, Jesus is how we get better through grace not your effort.

Death of Folly

March 19, 2023 • Joseph Presutti • Ecclesiastes 10:8–14, 1 Corinthians 1:21

The world’s wisdom is folly. Folly is prideful. Folly is impulsive. The world’s wisdom is folly. God’s wisdom is life. We always consider that sin is a constant threat and grace is a constant need. Pray in everything. We reflect on whether we’re being sinful first. We don’t get distracted from the Gospel. We accept that we’re going to make bad decisions. We ask others for advice.
