Ecclesiastes 1: When Life Feels Meaningless

Ecclesiastes 5: Wealth, Work, and Worship

Oppression ceases in the Name of Jesus, competition is no longer needed with Jesus, and isolation doesn't exist in Jesus. In Jesus, we finally have a love that won't ever and could never hurt us. The love of Jesus heals and makes us whole in Him. Jesus invites each and every one of us to come to Him, come near to Him, and receive His offer of eternal glory.

Ecclesiastes 4: Escaping the Empty Life

To find value in life, we need to focus on what truly matters. We need to stay laser locked on Jesus and not get sucked into the "rat race" of life in this temporary world. We need to know our value and worth in Jesus and follow His lead and wisdom every step of the way.

Ecclesiastes 3: The Rhythm of Eternity

We can choose to look up and give thanks to the Lord in the middle of the hard and mundane as much as we give thanks for the laughter and dancing. We can choose to focus on eternity with our Savior and run to the feet of the One who runs it all. We are called to live, breathe, and have our being under the sun according to God’s will with a “beyond the sun” perspective.

Ecclesiastes 2: All Dressed up and Nowhere to go

Our ultimate satisfaction in life comes in the ultimate One who is not far from us. He came for us. He will take our work and our love and our relationships and He will anchor them into eternity. Our lives are filled to the brim with meaning when they are anchored to the One who is beyond the sun - when we are anchored tightly to the Son.

Ecclesiastes 1: When Life Feels Meaningless

For the Christ follower, life is an open door - not a closed circle. There are daily experiences of new blessings from the Lord. We can't explain everything under the sun, but life isn't meant to be built on explanations. Life is built on God's promises. If we open God's Word - God's love letters sent to us straight from heaven - we will see thousands of promises from God that He wants us to trust and apply in our lives while we are here under the sun.
