is this the greatest Bible teacher ever? possibly

[@alreadythen1]

I need to listen to this sermon at least 2x a year, Thank you!

[@euniceyanez7835]

He never fails to make me laugh! I enjoy his way of teaching so much. Hahaha

[@alishareyes7220]

I praise the Lord for this teaching of His word. All glory to God!

[@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

[@stacyannmccarthy736]

Did not expect a 6 year old video to speak volumes to my life today like wow

[@ezekieljeremiah8575]

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.

Very helpful We are studying this book all this month my wife and I Blessings !

[@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).

[@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.

[@UniteAgainstEvil]

it literally brought tears to my eyes

[@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

[@Eyesayah]

i was happy to realize the connection between the presentation of Ecclesiastes and the Jesus saying, 'my burden is light'.

[@drewski8138]

“We’re just pushing and passing stuff around” That one hits different

[@richardlamer3910]

Beautiful presentation of the Word of God.

[@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.

[@mishelagaiby7075]

i like what you say " be careful what you ask the God for because you could be condemned for this"

[@cynthiatucker2147]

“I’m not safe with distance from danger only by my proximity to God.” ❤

[@ggcrluke9413]

Good preacher. He makes Ecclesiastes sound interesting. God bless

[@cheejokonya8403]

You are a blessing to us all. Brilliant insight

[@jessicaglaim6357]

[@alfonsobiton290]

I feel so relieved. The book is such an eye-opener for a life filled with pressure. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ^___^

[@jerryfeliciaababio6845]

Are these series coming back ? Literally so knowledgeable and they have really helped me with understanding the word. May God continue to bless you Dr Randall

[@svetlana97]

Some days I wonder what does it say about me when I know that Ecclesiastes is one of my favorite books of the Bible..

[@dumitritadragan2080]

Thank you so much!

[@oladman9058]

Insightful

[@amandabest7364]

Love these teachings

[@Alaninbroomfield]

"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!!

[@activelifetransformation8414]

Solomon was an interesting character in the Bible. The man was given wisdom, and went on to have morethan 1000 women(700 wives actually and 300 princess). He drank and partied, became the richest King in History upto that point, accomplished many things. What am l saying? If there's any man to listen to about life it's him. He walked with God, he sort out the pleasures of this world, had many wives, he even tried different religions and left God and prayed to idols. He wrote this book nearing the end of his life, he was able to look back on his life and draw this contrast of Ecclesiastes. It's really a worthy book to study and see what it says. But let's all remember that even he himself couldn't find the answer to life on earth, .. When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth-people getting no sleep day or night- then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it. Ecclesiastes 8:16‭-‬17 NIV

Glad I ran across this Bible teacher. Thank you for your ministry! Hope I can find more. Have been having to find solid Bible teaching online since solid churches are getting pretty rare. Hope you have recent teachings posted.

Fantastic as always. Minor feedback: 7 boxes marked as being 8. :)

[@BCF75SMCP]

Regarding the statement of talking about the good old days I thought .....if for the purpose of teaching the younger generation something good it's okay to use those as good examples , therefore " not bad or foolish

[@MTJCC]

MM0:58 - And here we are in 2021 and our lives have been turned upside down by scientists who don't know what the h... they're doing! Jesus don't delay much longer. Maranatha!
