Ecclesiastes warns that true peace is never found in the endless accumulation of material wealth or possessions. Instead, we must recognize that both our provisions and the capacity to enjoy them are gracious gifts from God. By trusting Him with the uncontrollable aspects of life, we find that contentment in Christ allows us to remain grateful even amidst hardship. Our deepest, lasting satisfaction rests solely in Jesus, who provides the hope of eternal life and the freedom to share generously.

From Series: "Under the Sun (Ecclesiastes)"

What is the meaning of life in a world where everything seems temporary? In this 13-part journey through Ecclesiastes, we confront the restlessness, repetition, injustice, pleasure, work, wisdom, sorrow, aging, and death that define life “under the sun.” With unflinching honesty, the Preacher exposes the emptiness of trying to find lasting satisfaction in anything this world can offer. Yet Ecclesiastes is not a message of despair. It teaches us to receive life as a gift from God, to live wisely and boldly in an uncertain world, and to remember our Creator while we still have breath. Join us as we explore one of the Bible’s strangest and most beautiful books—and discover how its ancient wisdom speaks directly to the questions we are still asking today.
