Series: The End of Futility

Date: 22 September 2024

Preacher: Rev Dave Miers

--

This sermon explores the tension between the futility of life described in Ecclesiastes and the hope of feasting with God. It examines how the book of Ecclesiastes was used in ancient Israel's Feast of Tabernacles to anchor joy in reality. The sermon then traces the theme of feasting throughout Scripture, from Eden to Jesus' ministry, culminating in the promise of the marriage supper of the Lamb. It emphasises that even in times of futility, believers can find joy in God's gifts and hope in the ultimate feast to come.
