Text: Ecclesiastes 7:2–6

Speaker: Tony de la Riva

--

Ecclesiastes 7:2–6 confronts our pleasure-driven culture with a stark truth: Wisdom grows not in laughter and entertainment, but in sorrow and sober reflection. Solomon reminds us that funerals are better than parties because the house of mourning teaches lessons no feast ever could—lessons about mortality, eternity, and what truly matters before God. In a generation consumed by amusement and allergic to rebuke, Scripture calls believers to see the refining mercy of sorrow, the sanctifying gift of correction, and the eternal wisdom of living for Christ instead of what feels good.
