Ecclesiastes 12
Life is short, but Christ gives us meaning and fulfillment.

Ecclesiastes 7
Living wisely is a good things, but we will still struggle with the effects of a sinful world and our limited wisdom. The wisest thing we can do is fear God.

Ecclesiastes 4 & 5
Our contentment is not found in money. It is found in an eternal relationship with Christ.

Sin leads to evil, wickedness, and death. God will judge the sinful and righteous. Ultimately, Christ is the answer to a world full of sin. 

Time is fleeting, but God is in control. Trust Him, enjoy the gifts He has given us, and live for eternity.

If true contentment does not lie in anything we can do, then what can we do to find it? It can only be found in the Lord!

As we begin the sermon series on Ecclesiastes, we are told that all in this life is vanity. This may begin a sense of hopelessness, that is unless you know the One in who you can put your hope in. A life in Christ, not the world, is filled with meaning and hope.

God is the reason why we could ever do any good. Abiding in Him allows us to pour into others and treat others as God does: with deep compassion, kindness, and love that is inaccessible anywhere else.

Idols are more than just wooden statues, they are things of the world. God calls us to put Him on the throne, not the world. Live for eternity, not for the temporary!
