Kailey Newkirk // On a long enough timeline, all of God’s promises are fulfilled, and Jesus remains with us through every struggle. Often, we misunderstand God’s ways, expecting rewards for good deeds, but this mindset can mislead us. Ecclesiastes reminds us to trust our Creator: “Fear God and keep his commandments.”

Kailey Newkirk // Life’s limitations can be frustrating, but God understands pain and loss far deeper than we ever could. His empathy surpasses anything we can imagine. While we wait for eternity, we can either dwell on the wait or cherish life’s temporary gifts as glimpses of His promise.

Michael Hinton // Ever feel like life is just chasing the wind? The author of Ecclesiastes did, too, saying, ‘Everything is meaningless.’ It’s a sentiment we can all relate to at times.

Kailey Newkirk // The Book of Ecclesiastes addresses two key questions: What should we expect from God’s world? And how should we live in it? These questions become more complex in light of sin, which has left the world we experience broken.

Sometimes, we simply need to see the bigger picture.

Michael Hinton // Through Jesus’ work on the cross, we’re no longer beholden to our sinful nature, but belief and good intentions or right behavior aren’t all we’re called to as believers. We’ve been given the Holy Spirit to convict and guide us in a way that leads to life and peace. Spiritual growth can be hard work, but we can trust God to work on our hearts.
