The Last Word on Books, Part 2
The Last Word on Books, Part 1
Jesus, meek and mild. Perhaps you’ve heard this phrase. Is it accurate? Does it set the groundwork for an authentic, Biblical understanding of God? And what does it mean to fear God? We’ll look at that in today's study.
Old Age Revealed, Part 2
At face value, it’s almost ironic. In the midst of a book known for telling us all is meaningless, we’re being prompted to soak in the pleasure of God. Encouragement, from the book of Ecclesiastes? We’re headed there in this study.
Old Age Revealed, Part 1
Decoding generational differences seems to be a full-time task for some. The older folks look at the up-and-coming generations and often are prompted to despair. But the teacher of Ecclesiastes tells us there’s nothing new under the sun. How does Scripture help us rise above generational concerns? We’ll look at that in this study.
Man to Man Talk, Part 2
Summarize Ecclesiastes. “All is meaningless.” Yes, that would be true, but did you know that this book also includes an exhortation to live with joy? We’ll go in search of that joy in this study.
Man to Man Talk, Part 1
Zero. That’s the number of people on this planet who are not growing older with each passing day. So, the discussion is universal. But is there a difference between growing old and growing up? We’ll explore that topic in this study.
Some Straightforward Instruction, Part 2
“Work hard and you’ll get to the top”… advice that’s been passed along for centuries. In our study today, we’ll explore the relationship between God, success, and… failure. The teacher of Ecclesiastes is asking us to zoom out a bit and get a bigger picture of life.
Some Straightforward Instruction, Part 1
Have you ever listened to a story that seemed disjointed, random, and without clear direction, only to discover that the objective of the story was to portray a disjointed, random, lack of direction? Is it possible that the teacher has done just that in the passage we’ll be looking at today?
God Is an Awesome God, Part 2
Perhaps you’ve been introduced to the idea of being religious without being connected with God. Our study today will explore that same divide infecting our worship. Can we “worship” without really connecting with God?
God Is an Awesome God, Part 1
How often have you scanned the offerings on your entertainment device looking for something that is different, bigger, astounding even… looking to be elevated above the mundane? Our study today asks us to check for signs of tragically settling for the mundane in our worship.
Time’s Brutal Onward March
Right up toward the top of any “hot topic” list of those looking to get the most out of life will be the idea of time management. But is that what this passage in Ecclesiastes is all about? Or is it something even more foundational, something each of us needs to look at? We’ll ask these questions today.
