Wisdom (Part 6): The Great Mismatch
from Palms Presbyterian Sermons
Wisdom (Part 6) Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 Sunday, October 12, 2025 The Book of Ecclesiastes points to a poignant contradiction that exists in every human heart: we have a longing for eternal, abiding things, but the world we inhabit just can't satisfy that longing. It is only by recognizing the limits of our existence in this world that we can find fulfillment. Bryant Anderson preaching. Referenced in this sermon: Bobby Jamieson, Everything Is Never Enough (2025) Byung-Chul Han, The Scent of Time (2017) Current Series: Wisdom Some of the most intriguing texts in the Bible are those belonging to the genre known as Wisdom Literature. These books explore some of life's deepest, most pressing, and most unanswerable questions—questions of meaning, happiness, fulfillment, and suffering. While the world has changed immeasurably since these texts were written, the concerns they voice and the challenges they pose are just as relevant today as they were then. The books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job have much to teach us—even today—about what it means to live well in a complex world.
