Wisdom (Part 8)
Ecclesiastes 12:1-14
Sunday, November 2, 2025
The Book of Ecclesiastes cannot be understood in its fullness without an honest appraisal of death, which looms large in the mind of Qohelet, its author. But the same could be said of life: Life cannot be understood in its fullness without an honest appraisal of death. What does it mean to live well in light of the fact that we will die?
Bryant Anderson preaching.
Referenced in this sermon:
- L.S. Dugdale, The Lost Art of Dying (2020)
- Bobby Jamieson, Everything Is Never Enough (2025)
- Byung-Chul Han, Saving Beauty (2017)
Current Series: Wisdom
Some of the most intriguing texts in the Bible are those belonging to the genre known as Wisdom Literature. These books explore some of life's deepest, most pressing, and most unanswerable questions—questions of meaning, happiness, fulfillment, and suffering. While the world has changed immeasurably since these texts were written, the concerns they voice and the challenges they pose are just as relevant today as they were then. The books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job have much to teach us—even today—about what it means to live well in a complex world.
