81. The Meaning, Mundane, and Messiness of Life: A Series in Ecclesiastes

January 02, 2024 • Kristin Nave & Shannon Sergey • Season 4

Have you ever gotten exactly what you wanted, it hasn't satisfied you the way you thought, and you've wondered, Is This It?

For 4 weeks we will be journeying through the book of Ecclesiastes, and we would love for you to join us! This is a book about a wise preacher who was given so much in life- wisdom, pleasures, experiences, so much more-and found that these things in and of themselves, were empty. Through a human lens, the preacher shows us that life is like a vapor or breath; we are shown that life is fleeting, hard to understand, and cannot be controlled!

But, because of God, we can find meaning and thankfulness for all things in life through a God-perspective.

The preacher in Ecclesiastes was willing to ask the hard questions. Questions that many of us might be afraid to ask but have wondered deep in our heart. But these questions can lead us to meaning, deep and eternal meaning that is found only in Jesus.
