The Search: Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

Rev. James Harper preaches on Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 as part of our sermon series, "The Search: Questions of Meaning and Purpose."  Life feels increasingly uncertain, from economic instability to personal struggles, leaving us grappling with how little control we actually have. The book of Ecclesiastes addresses this human experience by revealing our finite nature through vivid imagery of unpredictable weather, falling trees, and the mystery of life itself. While human strategies often fail when our limitations collide with unexpected events, true certainty comes from understanding that God is actively involved in creation and our lives. His providence means He works through all circumstances for good, transforming how we navigate uncertainty. As society becomes more secular, the church offers unique hope to those wounded by worldly philosophies that ultimately fail to provide lasting meaning.
