The Chase

from Parkway Church · host Mike Hurt

Solomon is a man who had everything he wanted, but didn't have the one thing he needed: purpose and meaning. So, he set off to test and explore all that life has to offer. Solomon’s exploration of life’s meaning is as raw as it is timeless. He found the search for significance feels endlessly frustrating. Can you relate? We want purpose, yet life often feels like a loop—an endless cycle of striving that leaves us exhausted and empty. But this is where Ecclesiastes is so life-changing. It isn’t simply a depressing commentary on the meaninglessness of life. Instead, it’s a challenge to shift our perspective. Instead of chasing after fleeting things, we are invited to center our purpose on God, the One who has planted eternity in our hearts and holds the whole universe together.
