A Good Name — part 8 of Ecclesiastes sermon series by Ps Sam Powell
A Good Name
by Ps Sam Powell
Ecclesiastes 7:1-6 (NKJV)
Chapter 7 A good name is better than precious ointment,
And the day of death than the day of one’s birth;
2 Better to go to the house of mourning
Than to go to the house of feasting,
For that is the end of all men;
And the living will take it to heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
For by a sad countenance the heart is made better.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise
Than for a man to hear the song of fools.
6 For like the crackling of thorns under a pot,
So is the laughter of the fool.
This also is vanity.

Helpful sermon. Thanks for posting. Sam unpacks why it is better to be in the house of mourning than feasting – for it is here where we find God.
