Listen "The Folly of the Foolish"
Episode Synopsis
Pastor Snook continues his sermon series on Living Life Backward in this sermon based on Ecclesiastes 10:1-20.We're reminded that wisdom isn't just about intelligence or creativity, but about diligence and character. The image of dead flies in perfume vividly illustrates how small acts of foolishness can spoil a lifetime of good reputation. This calls us to examine our lives: Are there 'flies' - small sins or bad habits - that we're allowing to taint our testimony? The message urges us to be especially mindful of our speech, comparing unwise words to a serpent's venom. How often do we unleash destructive gossip or criticism without considering the consequences? Yet our words also have the power to bless and encourage. As we reflect on these truths, we're challenged to live with greater intentionality, to guard our hearts and tongues, and to love one another as Christ loved us. This is how we truly demonstrate our faith to a watching world.
