Why does getting more so often leave us wanting more?

Money, possessions, and achievement can promise satisfaction, but they can never guarantee it. When the desire for more keeps growing, how do we learn to be content with what we have?

In Season 8, Episode 3 of Know God Deeply, “Why Is More Never Enough?” the team explores Ecclesiastes 5:1–6:7 and considers what it means to approach God with reverence, recognize the limits of wealth, and enjoy what He provides.

Discover how gratitude and open hands can reshape your perspective, helping you find contentment in God’s provision rather than constantly striving for more.

What does a life of devotion look like in the middle of everyday life?

In Rhythms of Devotion, you'll explore how God's Word invites us to cultivate rhythms of stillness, communion with Him, spiritual formation, authentic relationships, and mission.

This 5-week inductive Bible study goes beyond simply learning about spiritual practices. Through careful study of Scripture, personal reflection, and practical application, you'll discover how these rhythms can shape your heart, deepen your relationship with Christ, and influence the way you live each day.

And here's the heart of it: these rhythms aren't about adding more to your to-do list. They're about making space for a deeper dependence on God and allowing His truth to shape your life.

What if, in the end, you remembered God’s presence more than the difficulties you faced?

Ecclesiastes reminds us that God gives us the ability to enjoy what He has provided and find joy in the work He has given us. Even when life feels difficult or uncertain, we can be so occupied with the joy He provides that our circumstances no longer hold the same weight.

The goal isn’t to pretend hardship doesn’t exist. It’s to know God so deeply that His presence becomes our greatest source of joy.

As Psalm 16:11 reminds us, “In your presence there is fullness of joy.”

Let’s mark Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 ✍🏻

Read first; mark later. What repeated word catches your eye in Ecclesiastes 3?

Mark every occurrence of “time.” How many do you find in these two verses?

Add a distinct mark to “season.” Where does it appear in relation to the first use of “time”?

Now identify the paired contrasts. Which actions are placed side by side?

Make a list from verse 2. How are the items arranged? What repeated sentence pattern do you observe?

What if accepting your circumstances isn’t about giving up, but learning to receive what God has given?

In Ecclesiastes, accepting your lot in life isn’t a call to resignation or defeat. It’s an invitation to recognize that even when circumstances feel unsatisfactory, God is still good—and He gives us the ability to find joy in the life and work He has placed before us.

When we begin to see our “lot” as an allotment or inheritance from God, our perspective can shift. Instead of simply accepting our circumstances as an unchangeable fate, we can learn to receive each day as a gift from Him.

What can we actually control when life doesn’t go according to plan?

We want certainty. We want to fix what’s broken, understand why suffering happens, and know what comes next. But Ecclesiastes reminds us that we have limits—and that trusting God doesn’t mean ignoring our grief or pretending life is easy.

In Season 8, Episode 2 of Know God Deeply, the team explores Ecclesiastes 3:1–4:3 and considers how to navigate God’s timing, respond to injustice with compassion, and remain faithful when we can’t control our circumstances.

We may not understand everything God is doing, but we can trust Him with what we cannot control and faithfully live the day He has given us.

It was the fulfillment of a promise.

Throughout Scripture, God makes promises—and Advent gives us a beautiful opportunity to remember that He is faithful to keep them.

That’s the heart behind Come, Thou Long Awaited Jesus: An Advent Journey from Promise to Fulfillment.

Over four weeks, this new Advent study traces the promises of God from Genesis to the birth of Jesus, helping us see the story of Christ’s coming within the larger story of Scripture.

Because when we look closely at God’s Word, we don’t just see a baby in a manger.

We see the faithfulness of a God who keeps His promises.

Come, Thou Long Awaited Jesus is available exclusively as our donor premium through October 31, while supplies last.

A single word can change how you understand an entire passage.

Take John 3:16. It’s easy to read this verse on its own, but the word “for” connects it to the verses before it. John is giving the reason behind what he has just said.

That small word is a hinge, connecting one thought to the next and showing us how the author’s argument unfolds.

As you study Scripture, watch for words like "for, therefore, so that, and for this reason." These connecting words reveal relationships between ideas, helping you understand not just what the passage says, but how its message fits together.

Don’t separate what the author connects. Every word matters.

Let’s mark Ecclesiastes 2:1-10 together!

Read these two verses slowly. Which words do you notice more than once? 

Mark each use of “pleasure.” What does the writer say about his heart in each phrase? 

Now mark every use of “toil.” How many occur in verse 10? How many in verse 11?

Mark “vanity.” Which phrase follows “vanity and” in the same sentence? 

Mark “under the sun.” What does the writer say about gain in the final clause?
