How are we supposed to respond to the realization that life under the sun is all vanity? What does the preacher want us to do? And what on earth is a goad?

What does the Preacher say about the pursuit of justice in our world? What do we do with the seeming injustice that we see all around us?

Pleasure won't give us meaning outside of God: what about work? Achievement? Accolades? Recognition?

The Preacher gives us his first experiment: can I find meaning in pleasure?

We start our short series on the book of Ecclesiastes this week, looking at the overall project of the book: what does the Preacher mean that "all things are vanity?" And if we can't find meaning and purpose in anything "under the sun," what are we to do?

Who is my neighbor? What does love of neighbor look like? What does it cost?

Where do we find our acceptance by God? What does it take for us to be welcomed, to be okay, to be justified?

Continuing our series on the parables, we look at Jesus' story about some workers who got what was promised, some who got more than expected, and the different ways we react to grace in our lives.

This week we look at the parable of the Ungrateful Servant, asking what it means that we have been forgiven by God and how that frees us to forgive one another.

We continue our look at the parables with this story about Scripture. What do we make about Jesus' bold claim that miracles don't change people's minds: Scripture does?
