Ecclesiastes raises many problems, and the worst one of all is death. Fortunately, the books of Isaiah and Revelation tell us that death is not the end of our story because a better life, a perfect life is coming. Discover the joy that awaits you when this life comes to an end.

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11-12, Series: Under the Sun, Series Order: 07

Death happens, and there is nothing under the sun that anyone can do about it. How then can we live useful lives, drawn forward by hope rather than discouraged by despair? Solomon exhorts us to remember our Creator, along with all of the gifts He has given, and will give, to His people.

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 8, Series: Under the Sun, Series Order: 06

Governments have their place, and governments have their problems, but God is on His throne. God has delegated limited authority to earthly governments, but they can never replace or overthrow Him. We do not need to panic or rage about our government, and we cannot rely upon the government to solve all of the world's problems. We can trust God, however, because the entire world is under His control.

Scripture: Ecclesiastes, Series: Under the Sun, Series Order: 06

How should citizens of heaven think about, speak about, and participate in the governments of earth? Our hope and security are found in King Jesus, not in earthly authorities. And yet we are called to fulfill our obligations as citizens of this earth. Discover how as we continue our journey through Ecclesiastes.

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 8, Series: Under the Sun, Series Order: 06

Human government, like wisdom, wealth, and work, can be a good gift, but it fails miserably as a god. As citizens of both heaven and earth, it is our duty to work for government that fulfills our Creator's intended will, but we should never trust that any mere human efforts could put all things right under the sun. Instead, we are to live wisely in this current age, while waiting for God's chosen King to establish His perfect reign upon the earth. This is our hope.

Scripture: Ecclesiastes, Series: Under the Sun, Series Order: 05

Money, money, money... we think about how to make it, dream about how to spend it, and worry about how we might lose it, all because we believe money can buy us the satisfaction and security we crave. But money is a false god. It will leave us empty and broken if we worship it. So discover how to enjoy your money as a gift without worshipping it as a god.

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:18-26, Series: Under the Sun, Series Order: 04

Work is a blessing, but it can feel like a curse. Our work is one of the primary arenas in which we reflect the nature of God and in which we are transformed into the character of God. But when we begin to despise work, or conversely worship work, it becomes a source of frustration rather than fulfillment. Is work, for you, a blessing or a curse?

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, Series: Under the Sun, Series Order: 03

Pleasure is a good gift, but it is a disappointing deity. God made pleasure, and when we use it well, it draws us closer to Him. However, when we turn pleasure into a god, it will leave us feeling hollow. It might even destroy us.
