We conclude our study of Ecclesiastes with why God gives biblical books of wisdom. As our Shepherd, he imparts the "words of the wise" to guide and goad his sheep on secure paths. Tonight, the Spirit beckons you to beware worldly philosophy. Instead, he urges you to learn the art of living at Christ’s faithful feet.
This unique segment contains an elegy of unsurpassed art. In it, Ecclesiastes uses sublime poetry to express the brevity of life while also extolling you to make the most of your few years.
Work is generally a source of great benefits. It’s also the cause of much frustration, temptation, and regret. Through Ecclesiastes, the Spirit teaches you the wisdom of holding work in balance. This way, you can receive the value of your vocation while avoiding the worst of it's vanities.
The worldly prosperity of the wicked leads many to conclude, “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!” But according to Ecclesiastes, there is greater value to personal integrity despite its apparent vanity. Tonight we’ll consider benefits of pursuing justice. Also, we’ll learn how Ecclesiastes lifts believers’ eyes to Christ’s throne for comfort in the midst of earthly oppression and evil.
Have you ever wondered where Christ is in the book of Ecclesiastes? While the Gospel is more veiled here than elsewhere, it is present and powerful! Here we will consider how God uses Qoheleth to lead us to Jesus, and how we profit by it in daily life.
