Sermon text: Dead flies make the perfumer’s ointment give off a stench; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. 2  A wise man’s heart inclines him to the right, but a fool’s heart to the left. 3  Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool. 4  If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great...

Sermon Text: Ecclesiastes 9:1-10:1 But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him. It is the same for all, since the same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who do...

Sermon text: Who is like the wise? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed. 2 I say: Keep the king’s command, because of GOD’S oath to him. 3 Be not hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand in an evil cause, for he does whatever he pleases. 4 For the word of the king is supreme, and who may say to him, “...

Sermon text: 15 In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. 16 Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? 17 Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time? 18 It is good that you should take hold o...

Sermon Text: A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth. 2  It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart. 3  Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad. 4  The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but...

Sermon Text: Guard your steps when you go to the house of GOD. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. 2  Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before GOD, for GOD is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few. 3 For a dream comes with much business, and a fool’s vo...

Sermon Text: There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind: 2 a man to whom GOD gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet GOD does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity; it is a grievous evil. 3 If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his yea...

Sermon text: Again I saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them!

Sermon text: 1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather...

Sermon Text: 12 So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king?

And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of...

Sermon text: 1 I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity. 2 I said of laughter, “It is mad,” and of pleasure, “What use is it?” 3 I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven du...
