#6- Living Life for the Glory of God
Ecclesiastes confronts us with life as it truly is—brief, broken, and often filled with suffering. When viewed only “under the sun,” oppression goes unanswered, wealth never satisfies, and even wisdom seems futile. Yet the Preacher does not leave us in despair. He redirects our vision “under heaven,” where suffering is not wasted, joy is received as a gift, and every moment carries eternal weight. In Christ, pain becomes participatory, work becomes meaningful, and simple pleasures become foretastes of glory. The final call of Ecclesiastes is clear and urgent: remember your Creator, fear God, and live all of life before His face, knowing that what is done now echoes into eternity.
#5- Live Life Now For Eternity
Ecclesiastes presses us with life’s most unsettling question: Does our brief existence truly matter? When life is viewed only “under the sun,” it ends in vanity—marked by death, injustice, and unfulfilled longing. Yet Scripture shifts our vision “under heaven,” where God orders every season with purpose and has set eternity in the human heart. Nothing is meaningless in His hands. Life gains weight not by its length, but by its orientation toward God. To live wisely, then, is to live with eternal awareness—embracing each season, answering to a holy Judge, and finding true meaning not in what fades, but in what endures forever in Christ.
#4- A Time for Everything
Life is not an endless cycle to escape, but a single, God-appointed journey—where time has meaning, history has direction, and every moment finds its beauty in Christ, the Lord of time and eternity.
#3- The Attempt to Escape
When life ‘under the sun’ feels like endless striving and escape, Ecclesiastes exposes the emptiness of pleasure, pragmatism, and achievement—and calls us back to ultimate truth, where meaning, joy, and rightly ordered pleasure are found only in God.
#2- Meaningless or Meaningful Life?
From cycles under the sun to hope beyond the sun—Ecclesiastes shows life’s limits, but Christ reveals its true meaning, moving history toward a glorious and eternal end.”
# 1- Is Life Really Futile?
Ecclesiastes doesn’t shy away from asking life’s hardest questions. It stares into the emptiness of life under the sun and declares, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” But it doesn’t leave us there. This book leads us on a journey—from futility to faith, from despair to the hope found only in God.
Because without Him, nothing makes sense. But with Him, everything matters.
