Today’s message is titled “Christians Are Like Tea Bags; You Don’t Know What They Are Made Of Until You Put Them In Hot Water.” Today, Pastor Harold unpacks Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 and helps us understand the philosophy of fatalism and how it deludes our relationship with God. We look at the Four Big Pillars of Life and how, depending on our faith, we will deal with them when we are put into hot water, and all human beings will experience hot water; there is no avoiding it. If you are alive, you experience #1; we all will experience #4; and if we live long enough, we will experience #2 & #3, and not just for ourselves, but others we love: 1. Birth (Fate Determines) 2. Illness/accidents 3. Aging 4. Death
