Sunday, February 10, 2019. Ecclesiastes (Part 1). Ecclesiastes 1:1-18. Pastor Bryant Anderson preaching. The "Teacher" of Ecclesiastes has a bone to pick: life just isn't all it's cracked up to be. With words that seem to fly in the face of all that we believe scripture teaches and that Christians should stand for, the Teacher affirms the absurdity of life and the futility of finding purpose. What do we do with this text?
