Ecclesiastes 1:1-11

Sunday Sermons

The book of Ecclesiastes offers clear-eyed realism and stirs us to wrestle with some of the life’s biggest questions. Join Pastor Jim as he shows us how this ancient wisdom book acknowledges the tension of living life with mystery, restlessness, and ennui without trivializing anyone’s lament or cynicism or by offering simplistic, glib, or jejune answers. There is a grand conclusion, and yes, it points to the gospel of Jesus Christ!
