Ecclesiastes 7:1-14 NIV 1 A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.  2 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart. 3 Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart. 4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mo...

Ecclesiastes 6:1-12 NIV 1 I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on mankind: 2 God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant them the ability to enjoy them, and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil. 3 A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter...

Message Text: Ecclesiastes 5:8-20 Introduction What do you want out of life? What is your aim in life? Money, fame, promotions, status, more things? The sobering reality is even after attaining these things, many people are still not satisfied or fulfilled. What is it that people really desire or want out of life? A marketing research team summarized the things people want out of life along with t...

Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 NIV 1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. 2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. 3 A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the...

Solomon has reflected on some of the most complex problems known to man: finding life’s meaning, political and personal oppression, elusive happiness, empty pleasure, unsatisfying wealth. Then he turns this corner and basically says life is better with friends. When you wake up tomorrow morning, the problems will still be there, but if you have a friend, it doesn’t feel quite as lonely as it did b...

A Season For Everything 2-26-23

Message Text: Ecclesiastes 3:18-22 Introduction There is little doubt that King Solomon wanted his son, Rehoboam, to read his journal and learn from it, but I wonder if Solomon had any idea his journal would be read and studied for the next 3,000 years, right up until today. So far, we have learned how Solomon writes with a down-to-earth, hard-hitting, in-your-face, take-it-or-leave-it kind of rea...

Message Text: Ecclesiastes 3:9-17 Introduction A person who is a cynic is always assuming the worst of everyone and everything. A cynic develops this bite toward people and life. Small irritations turn into hostile attitudes. And this collection of attitudes and hostilities and irritations forms this shadowy perspective, where we seek out and focus on the worst in people and in life. We definitely...

A Season For Everything 2-5-23

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NIV 1 There is a time for everything,and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die,a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal,a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,a time to emb...

Message Text: Ecclesiastes 2:12-26 Introduction You work hard and someone else gets all the credit. You struggle to be good, and bad people trample you. You accumulate money, and it goes to spoiled heirs. You seek pleasure and it turns sour. Is it any surprise that in the very beginning of Ecclesiastes in the very first verses, Solomon the author says: “Meaningless! Meaningless! Utterly meaningles...

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 NIV 1 I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. 2 “Laughter,” I said, “is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?” 3 I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few da...

Message Text: God's Sovereignty in Ecclesiastes We usually work through these Bible book passages verse-by-verse. But I want us to pick up on this theme of God’s sovereignty which is first raised here in Ecclesiastes 1:13 , but it keeps popping up throughout the rest of the book. Whenever Solomon mentions God’s sovereignty, he always talks about enjoying life and vice versa. "God is in control, so...
