Ecclesiastes | Live With the End in Mind - Season 5, Episode 50
from Eastland Baptist Messages · host Jesse Becker
What happens when a person realizes that death is certain and life under the sun cannot satisfy the soul? In Ecclesiastes 9:1-10, Pastor Dorrell confronts the universal reality of mortality and the emptiness of pursuing meaning apart from God. Solomon examines wealth, pleasure, ambition, and human achievement, concluding that “everything is never enough” when God is removed from the equation. Yet the sermon is not marked by despair, but by sober hope. Because life is brief and every person will stand before God, believers are called to live gratefully, love deeply, work faithfully, and enjoy the ordinary mercies God has given. The listener is challenged to live each day with eternity in view and to make this present life count before the Lord.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
