PM: Miserable Medicine

PM: Seek the Shepherd's Wisdom

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.
