True Realities About Life and Death | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text: Ecclesiastes 9   The Unfailing Hand of God's Providence (9:1) As we consider our lives, the future often seems uncertain and unpredictable. Therefore, we must rest our lives in God's sovereignty and trust in His promises.   The Inescapable Reality of Our Death (9:2-6) Death is the great leveler and the inevitable event for all mankind. Therefore, we still have hope while we live if we will trust in the salvation of Christ.   The Meaningful Enjoyment of God's Gifts (9:7-10) In this life, God has given us wonderful gifts to enjoy that we do not deserve. In view of our death, we learn to rightly assess and appreciate what God has given to us.   The Trustworthy Nature of God's Wisdom (9:11-18) When we view life under the sun, it seems uncertain, unpredictable, and unrewarding. When we view life from God's perspective, we see how His wisdom surpasses everything else.
