  • @alreadythen1
    I need to listen to this sermon at least 2x a year, Thank you!
  • @celiwemalindi
    You not safe because of your distance from danger but you safe because of your proximity to God... woooow😭🙌🏾. I love this book so much, I always read it because for me feelings of life being purposeless were very common so I felt like Solomon actually understood me reading the book was so comforting. The book being in the bible is just so comforting. The book validates my life experiences.
  • Did not expect a 6 year old video to speak volumes to my life today like wow
  • @angeloates7202
    What a wonderful message and way of understanding the book of Ecclesiastes and, more importantly, my way of seeing life and God!!! A pure blessing
  • @drewski8138
    “We’re just pushing and passing stuff around” That one hits different
  • @arvyturner6585
    This study is really on point. Alot of what Solomon concluded in his lifetime, is exactly still the same conclusion in todays world. Under the sun is a dissappointment. Meaningless.( one the earth).
  • @alishareyes7220
    I praise the Lord for this teaching of His word. All glory to God!
  • Very helpful We are studying this book all this month my wife and I Blessings !
  • Randle Smith is a true blessing to the body of Christ. Imagine if every church had a pastor as kindhearted, authentic and genuine as Randle. I've been searching ever since I came to faith in Jesus and I simply cannot find an authentic church where real people living real lives drop the mask and just be themselves. Randle I truly believe is the same Randle inside and outside of church which is really refreshing and inspiring. He was a tremendous aid in my walk through the Old Testament. He is not big time here on earth but I am sure he will be rewarded well whenever he is called home to be with the Lord. Randle thank you for taking the time to care about The Word and those you have helped to guide through it. You have these 1 hour summaries but you also go into depth for those like myself who do want to go deeper. You are an unsung hero but your teachings have really made an impact on me and I greatly appreciate it. Thank you Randle you have done more than you probably know by simply speaking the truth and just being real not "bullet proof" as so many teachers try to portray. We aren't looking for "bulletproof pastors" we are looking for real ones and you are a real pastor. May God bless you and keep you.
  • “I’m not safe with distance from danger only by my proximity to God.” ❤
  • @Eyesayah
    i was happy to realize the connection between the presentation of Ecclesiastes and the Jesus saying, 'my burden is light'.
  • "The answer is: You don't get to know the answer", haha, you have to admire God's handiwork. He knows how to keep us in our place. Great presentation on the subject!!
  • @Abi_ebenezer
    Thank you for your wonderful teaching. It has been of great help to me trying to read and understand this book ! God bless!
  • @shayla4094
    What a treasure his teachings are!🙌 God keep using this beautiful ministry
  • i like what you say " be careful what you ask the God for because you could be condemned for this"
  • @MTJCC
    Randall, I hope you see this...please could you consider uploading your newer in class teachings based on where we are today. With everything going on today, it could be wondeful to hear your teachings again based on this. Thanks for all you do.
  • @LizDC
