The Balance of Wisdom and Righteousness
📖 Ecclesiastes 7:15–29
🗓️ Sermon by Pastor Ryan
🏛️ Laughlin Community Church
In this message, Pastor Ryan explores the Teacher's sobering reflections in Ecclesiastes 7:15–29. Why do the righteous sometimes suffer while the wicked thrive? How do we avoid the extremes of legalism and foolishness? This sermon uncovers the rare biblical call to be a "God-fearer"—yǝrē’ ’ĕlōhîm—and encourages us to walk humbly with God, living with grace and wisdom in a broken world.
💡 Key Themes:
The paradox of justice and suffering
Avoiding extremes in life
The rarity of the “God-fearer” in Scripture (see Ecclesiastes 7:18)
Living with humility, grace, and reverent trust in God
📚 Special insight from J. Richard Middleton's

🙌 Let this message help you find balance, peace, and purpose in the middle of life’s uncertainties.
