He contrasts wise investment with gambling, urging believers to continually sow—whether in work, evangelism, or generosity—while recognizing both the uncertainty of outcomes and the certainty of God's sovereign plan. With death as the ultimate risk, Pastor Reece calls on listeners to invest their lives purposefully, recalling their Creator in youth and living boldly in light of judgment and eternity. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/5172503983535 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 May 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:53:59 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/59251450233844 In this sermon from Ecclesiastes 9:11–18, Pastor Reece contrasts life "under the sun" with life "under heaven," showing how worldly reliance on probability, chance, and strength leads only to futility. He exalts the sovereignty of God, where every moment—down to breakfast—is decreed with precision. Through the example of a forgotten wise man who saved a city, the sermon calls believers to pursue true wisdom, walk by faith, and labor for eternal rewards rather than fleeting human praise. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/59251450233844 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 27 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:46:43 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/59251458355032 This sermon from Ecclesiastes 10 explores the fragility of reputation, the contrast between wisdom and folly, and the dangers of promoting fools to power.

Though time and chance seem to rule under the sun, true wisdom and meaning come only through God's revelation. Without the Word and Spirit, life is vanity—but in Christ, there is hope, purpose, and eternal reward. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/421251645557363 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 20 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:55:12 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/42025154817383 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/42025154817383 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 13 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:43:29 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/420251552254013 In this sermon on Ecclesiastes 8:1–9, Pastor Reece teaches that true wisdom brings clarity, self-control, and freedom from the fear of man—even kings. While earthly rulers hold power, they cannot prevent death or guarantee lasting security. Solomon's reflections show that the pursuit of human favor—especially that of powerful authorities—is ultimately vain. Only God does what He pleases and holds power over life and death. Wisdom teaches us to honor authority rightly, live with discernment, and seek the favor of the true King, Jesus Christ, who alone gives victory over death. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/420251552254013 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:43:55 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/42025155992193 Preaching from Ecclesiastes 8:10–9:12, Pastor Reece exposes the vanity of a world where justice is delayed, the wicked prosper, and the righteous suffer. He warns that when the wicked go unpunished, it hardens others to sin and empties life of meaning. Yet he affirms that true justice will come—if not now, then at God's appointed time. The sermon contrasts the futility of life "under the sun" with the hope that belongs to those who fear God. Only through faith in God can we find meaning in suffering, comfort in injustice, and joy in life despite its brevity and unpredictability. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/42025155992193 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:43:23 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/41325140143075 Pastor Reece preaches from Ecclesiastes 7:1–8:1, showing how true wisdom comes from God, not from ourselves. He explains that the heart in Scripture is not just emotions, but the mind, will, and desires. Solomon's struggle with sin and folly reminds us that even our failures are used by God for His glory. We are called to seek wisdom through God's Word and Spirit, depend on Him in trials, and not hide our need for help out of pride. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/41325140143075 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:48:17 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/41325145102938 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/41325145102938 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:10:58 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/32625184839126 In this powerful and far-reaching sermon, Pastor Reece unpacks Ecclesiastes 7:19–29 and 1 Corinthians 1–3 to reveal the surpassing value of true wisdom. Contrasting worldly reputation, human philosophy, and outward power with the revealed wisdom of God in Christ, this message calls believers to forsake the fleeting glory of man and embrace the mind of Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/32625184839126 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:15:33 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/316251829235953 The sermon on Ecclesiastes 7 explores the fleeting nature of reputation and the dangers of living for public approval rather than the true good—knowing God. The preacher examines how reputation, though valuable, is not ultimate, as it can be lost through oppression, bribery, or changing societal tides. The passage deconstructs false goods such as wealth, power, and honor, revealing them as insufficient foundations for life. Instead, wisdom—the knowledge of God—grants true life and security. The sermon warns against nostalgia for past "better days" and urges believers to embrace God's providence, trusting Him in both prosperity and adversity. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/316251829235953 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:39:17 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31625188513979 he sermon on Ecclesiastes 7 explores the fleeting nature of reputation and the dangers of pursuing it as life's ultimate goal. It contrasts the temporary honor of a good name with the lasting value of wisdom, emphasizing that reputation alone can lead to pride, oppression, and corruption. The preacher highlights how mourning refines the soul, while feasting and laughter often lead to foolishness. The message urges believers to seek God as the highest good rather than striving for worldly validation, reminding them that wisdom, not reputation, brings true fulfillment and prepares the soul for eternity. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31625188513979 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:39:44 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/316251743342578 This sermon on Ecclesiastes 5:1-20 warns against hypocrisy in worship, rash vows, and the deceptive pursuit of wealth. The preacher emphasizes that true worship requires wisdom, not empty words or self-serving rituals. Just as hasty vows lead to sin, so does the love of money breed dissatisfaction and ruin. While God gives prosperity, it should never distract from the weight of eternity. The message concludes with a call to fear God, live wisely, and reject the vanities of a life spent chasing wealth without eternal purpose. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/316251743342578 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:58:49 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31625183456058 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/31625183456058 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:57:14 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/22525120183706 This sermon on Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 examines the fear of God in worship and the weight of our words before Him. Solomon warns against mindless sacrifices and rash vows, teaching that true worship begins with reverence, listening, and obedience rather than empty rituals. The preacher highlights the danger of speaking hastily, reminding us that God is in heaven and we are on earth, so our words should be few and sincere. Using biblical examples, he illustrates the binding nature of oaths and the consequences of breaking them, calling for careful self-examination, repentance, and faithfulness in our commitments to God. The sermon concludes with a call to worship in spirit and truth, honoring God with both our words and our actions. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/22525120183706 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:56:08 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2252517126311 This sermon on Ecclesiastes 3:16–4:16 explores the vanity of life under the sun when detached from God's wisdom. Solomon evaluates different pursuits—pleasure, power, wealth, and labor—showing how each ultimately fails to bring lasting fulfillment. The preacher emphasizes that human courts are flawed, oppression is rampant, and even great rulers are eventually forgotten. The futility of self-centered work and the loneliness of individualism highlight the need for wisdom, which alone leads to a meaningful life. True purpose is found in knowing God, obeying His law, and building His kingdom, which alone endures beyond earthly vanity. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2252517126311 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 0:49:28 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/219251434117670 In Ecclesiastes 2:24–3:15, Solomon contrasts the fleeting joys of earthly pleasures with the eternal significance of God's sovereign design. While work, eating, and enjoyment have their place, true meaning is found not in temporary satisfaction but in the fear of God and His perfect timing. This sermon explores how every moment—whether joy or sorrow—fits within God's eternal plan and leads us to trust in His wisdom. Key Points: • The limits of pleasure and labor as ultimate pursuits (Ecclesiastes 2:24-26) • God's perfect timing for every event in life (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) • The eternal purpose behind God's work (Ecclesiastes 3:9-11) • The fear of God as the foundation of meaning and joy (Ecclesiastes 3:12-15) Solomon reminds us that while we can enjoy the fruit of our labor, lasting fulfillment is found in fearing God and trusting in His sovereign order. Every moment, every action, and every season is woven into His perfect plan. 📖 Scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:24–3:15 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/219251434117670 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:01:11 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/219251443307515 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/219251443307515 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:01:33 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2162539146208 In Ecclesiastes 2, Solomon embarks on a grand experiment, indulging in every pleasure and ambition the world offers—wisdom, wealth, labor, mirth—only to conclude that all is vanity, grasping for the wind. This sermon examines Solomon's pursuit of the "good life" and how his findings dismantle the false promises of worldly success. • Why wisdom alone does not satisfy (Ecclesiastes 1:16-18) • The limits of wealth, work, and pleasure in securing true joy (Ecclesiastes 2:1-11) • The inevitability of death and the futility of worldly accomplishments (Ecclesiastes 2:12-23) • The only source of lasting fulfillment and purpose (Ecclesiastes 2:24-26) Solomon's conclusion is clear: nothing apart from God provides true meaning.

He observes that both the wise and the foolish meet the same fate, and the fruit of one's labor is left to another who may squander it. Yet, amidst this vanity, Solomon acknowledges that true enjoyment comes as a gift from God, and that all things happen according to His appointed time. Key Points: • Wisdom excels folly, but death comes for all (Ecclesiastes 2:12-16) • The emptiness of labor apart from God's purpose (Ecclesiastes 2:17-23) • True enjoyment is a gift from God, not from our toil (Ecclesiastes 2:24-26) • God's perfect timing governs all things (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) Solomon's conclusion is sobering yet hopeful: apart from God, all is vanity, but when we trust in His timing and purpose, our labor is not in vain. Join us as we reflect on the wisdom of Ecclesiastes and the necessity of living with an eternal perspective. 📖 Scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:12–3:8 📅 Date: 2nd of February in the Year of our Lord 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2162539313016 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:37:28 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2225219346308 In this sermon, Pastor Reece explores Ecclesiastes as a profound apologetics book, teaching us how to answer the fool wisely.

The sermon examines the cycle of history, the pursuit of pleasure, and the difference between true knowledge and empty vanity. • The two ways to answer a fool (Proverbs 26:4-5) • How Ecclesiastes dismantles false worldviews • The emptiness of pleasure-seeking and material success • The certainty of God's purpose and the pursuit of wisdom Join us as we grow in the knowledge of God and learn how to defend the truth with clarity and conviction. 📖 Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:1 – 2:11 📅 January 26, 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/2225219346308 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 26 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 David Reece 1:06:34 no David Reece - Ecclesiastes https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/puritanchurchphx/sermons/12525170583883 In this sermon, Pastor Reece delves into Ecclesiastes 1, exploring Solomon's reflections on life, wisdom, and the human condition. • Key contrast: Life "under the sun" as vanity versus life "under heaven" as meaningful. • Understanding cycles of life through the lens of God's sovereignty. • The pursuit of wisdom and the inevitable challenges it brings.
