Achieving everything you thought would satisfy you often reveals a hollow void, proving that wisdom, wealth, and pleasure cannot provide the lasting fulfillment only God can give. Like Solomon, you might build a life of worldly success, yet you remain powerless against the inevitability of death. True satisfaction isn’t found in what you build under the sun, but in what you receive from the Son. Jesus alone conquered death, offering the eternal life and purpose that no earthly pursuit can ever produce.

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.
