- This sermon encourages embracing the present moment and finding fulfillment in your current circumstances, trusting that God has a plan for you.
Stop Waiting: Embrace the Life God Has for You Today! (Ecclesiastes 6)
Don't let life pass you by while you wait for the "perfect" moment. Ecclesiastes 6 paints a stark picture of the futility of chasing after things that ultimately don't satisfy. It warns against the trap of constantly striving for more, of delaying joy and fulfillment in the pursuit of some elusive future goal.
The book highlights the emptiness of:
Material wealth without enjoyment: What good is abundance if you can't savor it, if your heart is never content? (Ecclesiastes 6 :1-6)
Long life without purpose: A life devoid of meaning, even a long one, is like a vapor that quickly disappears. (Ecclesiastes 6 :10-12)
Restless striving without satisfaction: Always chasing after the wind, never finding true peace or contentment. (Ecclesiastes 6 :7-9)
Instead, Ecclesiastes encourages us to:
Embrace the present: Find joy in the simple things, in the everyday blessings that God provides.
Seek God's purpose: Discover the unique plan He has for your life and live it with passion and intentionality.
Find contentment in Him: True fulfillment comes not from worldly possessions or achievements, but from a deep relationship with God.
Don't wait for tomorrow to start living. Embrace the life God has for you today. Find joy in the journey, seek His purpose, and discover the true meaning of life in Him.

I receive this message in Jesus' name
I need to start living by trusting God in ALL THINGS.
So true. I’m ready to marry my bf, move out, start a family and put God at the center of
This is so timely that I had to run this back, watch it again with my full attention, and take notes. Just yesterday, I was at my limit at being at my current job and was discussing this with wise counsel. I was so overcome with anger about my lot in life and grief from feeling stuck like I couldn't get out. I had my resignation letter written to hand in this Friday. This fully reset me because I know this, but emotions can make you forget. Ironically enough, I did a bible study on Psalm 119:17-24 last night that speaks about taking delight in God's statutes and asking the Lord to understand His law. This feels like an answer to that and my current dilemma. I hope this is an encouragement for someone that the Lord sees and hears you. He is faithful in providing whatever you need.
wow that means alot! thank you for sharing sis
Amen alex, im from Spain. Just finishing my breakfast, i was going straight to watch Netflix then told to myself what am i doing, turn it off and open UA-cam and made a quick prayer “lord i will watch the first video that says ur name”
This video was one of the first to appear and couldn’t be a better video.
Powerful message and very meaningful to me, thanks a lot.
God bless u and ur family
U have a new subscriber :)
I definitely needed to hear this. I was pushing this video aside not wanting to watch it for some odd reason but this morning I said let me hear this message and I realize that I need to stop planning so much about what’s next in my life with my business plans with finishing my degree With the career choice to just be present in my job that I have now because God gave me this job. I prayed so hard for it, and I finally have it so for me not to be content, how can I be satisfied in this if I prayed for it and how would I be satisfied in my future. Enough questioning what’s next enough questioning what I need to do I just have to be present and live.
Starting to live for me is dropping my habit with overthinking everything. Just taking my time and enjoying where I’m at and what I’m learning, don’t, experiencing etc.
I love that you have an hour and a half of quiet time daily. What a blessing to a house full of kids. They have to carve out time for themselves to play or be with God, etc and it also gives time for you and your wife to connect. Awesome parenting!
Wow I just saw the title of this video and I think God is definitely me calling to watch this. Thanks Alex
Hope you enjoyed it!
This message is timely for me as well. I allowed fear to mute me over the summer when the Lord invited and prompted me to start living and let my enjoyment become my work. I don't know why I froze, but reading Ecclesiastes 6 is a wake-up call. And Mark 14:36 is the beautiful and ultimate reminder that I have the permission to live in Jesus. Thank you for providing this encouragement.
Thank you 🙏🏾 last night i felt for the first time in my 25 years of life an overwhelming sense that i needed to get close to god i started crying in my apartment n i never cry.
I just graduated high school this year and I guess I just been waiting around at home but enough I’m going to start living 😤👍✨🙏
This sharing is very timely and helpful for me. I was curious to listen to this because this week I was asking God for future directions and then He led me to read Ecclesiastes also. I could relate to your kid who keeps on asking for the chip before he/she could live:). Thank you for all the insights. I feel that this is the wisdom that I'm missing out on: Where should I stop planning and start living. Thanks for sharing! God bless everyone!
Love you channel brother you’re a disciple of Jesus Christ
Thanks for this Alex! Since I turned 27, I started feeling like I needed to let go of some things that I've been holding back. It's been a tug of war with mind telling me is it even worth trying to change now, but God show's me the spirit is willing thou my flesh is weak at times. Thank you brother for this and God bless.
this was definetly a word for me , for the past few weeks ive been struggling with waiting season as i kept planning for college or future finance, and i realized how God was silent . It made me stressed and mad as i decided to read the word and now i feel more patient and more relief knowing that God already wrote the plan He is just waiting on me so He can fix me and can continue walking in His plans 💗
I needed this today. I was reminded this weekend to learn to live. Not everything is always going to go as planned.
So true!

Thank you Alex great message
wow 🙌🏻🔥
Amen ❤
I REALLY NEEDED THIS TODAY❤ PRAISE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY 🙌🙏✝️❤️
i needa stop planning and start living at school; i don’t want to be there at times, but God has me there for a reason and i should accept/be content with my lot.
and in general, to be content no matter the circumstance, like what Paul wrote in Philippians 4.
You’re preaching at me brother!
It just keeps reminding me of the Everest commercial😗🤣
Thank you for sharing this. I was reading the same scripture a couple of days and left feeling a bit confused. I hear it clearly but I have now idea how to apply it.
I'm in business as well as policy and legislative development. A lot it of involves, planning, calculating, having to make decisions that could make or break a lot things at times including mine and other people's livelihoods. I also have this vision which I believe the Lord has placed in my mind for my endeavours and the influence in the marketplace as a Christian business person. All this can be so consuming. How does one balance all the ideas, plans, hopes, ambitions with being content, accepting, and believing? Especially when it feels like a constant chase of what the Lord has placed in my heart? One can say all of it is just my ambitions but believe when I say I would much rather be living what I think is a much simpler life. So in my world how do I do what you've just spoken of...? I have often heard focus on God, how do I make it practical...?
❤
Thank you for the great video Alex, but why don't you film during HouseChurch anymore??
But alex, I don’t like my job because I don’t have peace and contentment. and I would be willing to apply for another job even though it pays less but It gives me time and the environment to enjoy my life and have more time with God
Awesome message brother God gave me a metaphor similar to what your speaking about the power of the passenger seat. I have to record it but great message brother.
I have a question though how did you set up your homepage that shows each video under each category?
Start living by applying Gods word into my life and not just reading it. Also, to stop overthinking and trust and know that he is with me in any and everything - and to just enjoy this life and not beat myself up too bad when I make mistakes. Literally just live
I’ve been really struggling with staying in college. I know I’m supposed to be here but it’s so difficult that I just want to give up. I’ve gotten myself into a hole that I can’t pull myself out of and only God can. This hole is because of my lack of effort, it’s not even that my classes are hard it’s just a lack of effort. I’m praying that God helps me through this.
You just described my life but high school instead of college
i've really been struggling too; this comment encouraged me to know someone is in a similar position
I know what you’re going through man, I’m the exact same way. I love being at my college and it’s not too difficult but I don’t put in enough effort.
I’ll give you wisdom bestowed to me from Yeshua when I was in the same position.
I completed my 4 year degree in 3 years, I had took a 5 year gap from hug school to go to college. (graduated 2016, went back to school in 2021 during the pandemic, graduated from there with an associates degree in 2022, took a few months off then started January 2023 and graduated with my bachelors in may 2024)
I tried to run from school so much, was always very smart but I kind of lost motivation after a while and did not want to endure the journey.
God would not let me complete success in any area. Once I submitted, I went to school and have been fulfilled with that decision since. We can’t stand in the way of God’s will through our sins, lack of effort can align with Laziness, for all actions should be done to glorify God.
I pray this resonates and you’re able to take in the fact that you’re in school on the behalf of Yeshua! I love you, and I believe in you because I believe in God!❤
I think you lack vision that’s why you don’t make an effort to
Hi!
I am on Maui & would love to visit y’all for house church one weekend if you’d have me! If so, wondering how I can get in touch with you all!

min 16:05: psalms 16:10
Didn't catch the verses you were reading but it sounds a bit like Ecclesiastes while he is talking about "grabbing at the wind".
Ecclesiastes chapter 6
How do we know that God wants you to be content and stick to 'this thing'. Or, whether He wants you to move on or do something else?
I thought this was Kanye😭😭
