Solomon begins to discuss factors of life that appear to contradict God's providence over mankind, and also includes insights on the importance of being able to answer tough questions from non-believers about Christianity.
We continue discussing Solomon's perspective on work & labor, with excellent commentary from Dr. Eckman on our society's tendency of valuing our work over our position in Christ.
Dr Eckman leads this discussion of Solomon's experiment with pleasure-seeking as a means of fulfillment & contentment; how self-indulgence & frivolous living left him empty & unfulfilled.
Dr. Eckman begins a new study on the book of Ecclesiastes, with a historical overview & discussion of Solomon's main theme: "The meaninglessness of life apart from God".
