I wasn’t sure how to begin this morning’s message. However, after this weekend, I know…It’s amazing how God works. The messages which we heard this weekend, in my mind, go right along with this morning’s message to the point where I had to “re-arrange” and “add to” the message this morning... Follow…

Turn to and read Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 At times, during our study of Ecclesiastes, we may stop to take a closer look at certain things. Such is the case tonight.
