Life Under the Sun


Listen Later

Ecclesiastes 12:6a

Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken.


Ecclesiastes 1:2

“Everything is meaningless,” says the Teacher, “completely meaningless!”


Ecclesiastes 1:8

Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content.


Ecclesiastes 1:12-14

I, the Teacher, was king of Israel, and I lived in Jerusalem. 13 I devoted myself to search for understanding and to explore by wisdom everything being done under heaven. I soon discovered that God has dealt a tragic existence to the human race. 14 I observed everything going on under the sun, and really, it is all meaningless—like chasing the wind.


Proverbs 17:22

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.


1 Timothy 6:17-19

17 Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. 19 By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.


W Buffet quote slide:

“I know many people who have a lot of money, and they get testimonial dinners and they get hospital wings named after them. But the truth is that nobody in the world loves them. That’s the ultimate test of how you have lived your life. The more you give love away, the more you get.”


Colossians 3:23

23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.


Ecclesiastes 2:10-11

10 Anything I wanted, I would take. I denied myself no pleasure. I even found great pleasure in hard work, a reward for all my labors. 11 But as I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless—like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere.


Ecclesiastes 2:24-26a

So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work. Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God. 25 For who can eat or enjoy anything apart from him? 26 God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him.
