14. The Riches of Vapor - Ecclesiastes 5:8-12

Ecclesiastes is about living in a way that honors God first. Ultimately that is what will bring us satisfaction. It starts with our hope in the person of Jesus as He rescues, saves, and makes all the difference. Jesus tells us that if anyone is in Christ they are a new creation; they are His children, and they are precious. When we build our satisfaction on others we find dissatisfaction, because only Jesus can sustain the weight of our expectation. Only Jesus knows how bad we are and is prepared to completely redeem us. This is why Solomon keeps coming back to the idea that our satisfaction must be found in God or our lives turn into meaningless messes. We have a whole new way of looking at all of our messes as we perceive them through the lens of Gospel; the good news of what God has done to rescue us in JESUS. DOWNLOAD PDF SERMON NOTES HERE
