Bible Series - Ecclesiastes

Welcome back to our first Books of the Bible for 2025! This week’s message was a deep dive into the book of Ecclesiastes, exploring its timeless wisdom and raw reflections on life's meaning.

Ecclesiastes repeatedly reminds us that life under the sun—pursuits of wealth, pleasure, and achievement—is like a vapor, fleeting and ultimately unsatisfying without God. It offers hope, emphasizing the importance of fearing God, obeying His commands, and remembering the certainty of judgment. With Jesus, judgment transforms from fear to comfort, offering eternal hope and the assurance of a meaningful life both now and forever.

“Everything is meaningless,” says the Teacher, “completely meaningless!” What do people get for all their hard work under the sun? - Ecclesiastes 1:2-3

That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad. - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

Tyler challenged us to reflect on whether our lives are aligned with God’s eternal purpose or caught up in temporary, worldly pursuits.
