Real Life in a Broken World

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11

SUMMER 2022: Re-Create: A Study of Ecclesiastes

Many want to reshape this book and our sermons from it to sound like Isaiah or Paul, to align with the language of systematic theology, to comb the hair and remember our manners while in the presence of good company. But Ecclesiastes will not allow it. Bend it to your comfort zone, and you will miss what this God-inspired text reveals about him.

There is more to God than what Isaiah and Paul alone can show you.

-Zack Eswine

Paradise Lost: Edenic echoes abound in creation, but the fallen nature of it all drowns them out with discordant tones of brokenness.

The cyclical nature of creation points a deeper meaninglessness.

Human accomplishments seem so meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

There is nothing new “under the sun.”

There is someone wiser than Solomon!
