2. 'That's Life' (Ecclesiastes 1:1-18)

Episode Summary If only there were easy answers to give us meaning and purpose in life. Unfortunately, as the wise Preacher has proven, however hard we try so much of life is as substantial and reliable as the morning mist.

Read the Bible passage here: Ecclesiastes 1:1-18 Series Summary This message was preached on 1 May 2022 as part of a Bible teaching series on the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes, written by King Solomon. We're usually familiar with the Bible's stories and rules, but what about the category of 'wisdom'? Wisdom was an important pursuit of the Bible writers, as they sought to live well, under God, in the light of what he has revealed. Ecclesiastes is a wisdom book, and teaches us the wisdom of how to find meaning and purpose in an often confusing world. The answers might not be all we want, but they're all we need.
