The Endless Pursuit of Satisfaction | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text: Ecclesiastes 2   The Emptiness of Worldly Pleasure (2:1-3) The pursuit of pleasure apart from God may lead to momentary happiness, but ends in permanent emptiness.   The Futility of Worldly Achievement (2:4-11) The pursuit of finding life's meaning in worldly achievement may take you to the top, but it will ultimately end in gaining nothing.   The Limitations of Worldly Wisdom (2:12-17) The pursuit of intellectualism may lead to acquiring knowledge, but the wise and fool all come to the same end in death.   The Satisfaction of God-centered Living (2:18-26) All accomplishments and achievements without God at the center lead to emptiness and frustration Satisfaction in life is found in the hand of God, who gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy.
