For the next six weeks, we will begin a study in the book of Ecclesiastes called Life in a Mad, Mad, Mad World. This series is not intended to be a chapter-by-chapter examination; instead, we will explore various passages and topics. We hope you will want to continue studying this book for yourself and that this series will serve as a catalyst.
The book of Ecclesiastes records King Solomon's intense search to find meaning and fulfillment in life. In Ecclesiastes 1:1-11, Solomon will search the cycles of life that we all observe, the wind, the water, the generations that come, and the generations that go; he will observe science, history and, in the end, will come to one conclusion, that life under the sun is meaningless. So, how do we find meaning in life?
Join us this weekend as we open a new book, Ecclesiastes, and discover that life without God is meaningless.
Did you know that you have 31,536,000 seconds of time for your personal use every year? That's a lot of time. How are you using it? Better yet, How WELL are you using your time? Ecclesiastes 3 is arguably the best known portion of the entire book of Ecclesiastes because of the way it opens - "There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven." This weekend, we will attempt to unlock the Holy Spirit inspired riches of Ecclesiastes 3:1 - 15 by first remembering that Jesus christ is the Lord of our time. He has a great interest in both how we use it and how well we use it which is why, in his search for life's meaning, Solomon reflects on time. I look forward to a good time of worship and study with you this weekend at GCC.
