Ecclesiastes: What is it All About? (Part One)

Ecclesiastes teaches that life has meaning and purpose only when lived by faith for God's Kingdom, not just for earthly, 'under the sun' pursuits.


Ecclesiastes: What is it All About? (Part Two)

The activities that Solomon put to the test and found wanting are exactly those things the world emphasizes: hedonism, silliness, mirth, and foolishness.


Ecclesiastes: What Is It All About? (Part Three)

Time must not be wasted walking into blind alleys and labyrinths, but must be spent walking the paths God has set before us, developing character through our choices.


Resuming Ecclesiastes (Part One)

Review of Several Main Points

Ecclesiastes provides a testimony to the conundrum of life, showing the result of both bad and good choices, enabling us to effectively use time.


Resuming Ecclesiastes (Part Two)

The disappointment in the vanity of life is good for our spiritual preparation, making us disillusioned with all the world's glamorous but false choices.


Resuming Ecclesiastes (Part Three)

Chapter 2 Expounded

The only kind of pleasure that fulfills comes from applying God's Holy Spirit in serving others. We must seek those permanent things which are from above.


Ecclesiastes (Part Four; A)

Who Is Really In Control?

God is sovereign over time; nothing happens without His superintending. Birth and death are divine events which God alone controls.


Ecclesiastes (Part Four; B)

Who's Really in Control? (Continued)

God manipulates events to occur at precisely the right time. The timing God uses for us are just as precisely planned and scripted as they were for Christ.


Ecclesiastes (Part Five)

Time and events are in the hands of God; He knows when to relieve the pressure and when to bring on more. Looking above the sun teaches us about the seasons.


Ecclesiastes (Part Six)

Be Humble, Use Your Faith, Fear God

We must have the patience to realize that God accomplishes His purpose for us in His time. God's timing is beautiful, taking place at the right time.


Ecclesiastes (Part Seven)

We are required to make judgments in our area of influence, in the home and in our own lives. We cannot be careless with God's standards in our own family.


Ecclesiastes (Part Eight)

Today, as in Solomon's time, we can become discouraged and weary about the corruption in government, especially the evil corruption of the courts.
