Text: Ecclesiastes 1

Life is Short in Light of Eternity (1:1-7)

• Our lives are the equivalent of a vapor that appears for a brief time.
• When our lives are centered on God, then our focus is not on the brevity and emptiness of this life, but on eternal life.

Life is Wearisome Under the Sun (1:8-11)

• Our lives can feel exhausting, monotonous, and futile.
• When our lives are centered on God, then our satisfaction is found in Him and His Word.

Life is Meaningless Apart from God (1:12-18)

• Our lives are wrapped up in striving and searching for meaning.
• When are lives are centered on God, then our life is not meaningless striving after the wind, but pursuing God and His wisdom.
