Ecclesiastes 1- Vanity of Life | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

Ecclesiastes 1 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Ecclesiastes 1 we meet the preacher (koheleth) who has gathered an assembly the ecclesia for a special message. But the message turns out to be really strange. The preacher is King Solomon and despite being so wise, he starts speaking about the foolish things he has done, and seems to be peddling a message of nihilism. He seems to be sayin that everything is meaningless. As we shall find out this is like his personal testimony and he doesn’t really have spiritually meaningful things to say until the end of the book in chapters 11 and 12. Join us as we start to explore the testimony, life experiences and thoughts of Solomon. We will conclude that without Christ there is no meaning in life, but with Christ life is nothing other than meaningful.
