In our sermon series, Everything is Meaningless... Or is it?, Pastor Levi Matteson talks about how life under the sun is broken by corruption, death, evil, envy, and loneliness, but there is hope because Jesus has already overcome everything under the sun. From Ecclesiastes 3:16 through 4:16, including: 1. Corruption Under the Sun (Ecc. 3:16–17), 2. Death Under the Sun (Ecc. 3:18–22), 3. Evil Under the Sun (Ecc. 4:1–3), 4. Envy Under the Sun (Ecc. 4:4–8), 5. Loneliness Under the Sun (Ecc. 4:9–16), and 6. Joy: Jesus Under the Sun (John 16:33). This episode of the Evangel Houghton podcast is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, October 5, 2025.
