Ecclesiastes 2 part 2
July 22, 2024
Tiday we again open our Bibles to the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter two. This chapter can be capsulated in two facts: The pursuit of pleasure and possession is futile, and true satisfaction is found in a relationship with Christ. Here we have King Solomon, who had everything a man could want materially, and yet he felt empty and unfulfilled. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

We’ve got a great study lined up for you today in the second chapter of Ecclesiastes. King Solomon was a deep thinker - and realized at a time in his life that the material and sensual pleasures he enjoyed were really worthless. That’s a great lesson for us in this materialistic world we live in.

I know you’ve heard it many times, even on this program, but let me state it again - material possessions have nothing to do with eternal happiness. If you’re looking for a perfect example of this truth, you need look no further than King Solomon. He had everything a man could want - and yet he reached a time in his life when he felt completely empty. Maybe that’s the place in life you’re at today? The book of Ecclesiastes is the outpouring of those feelings from the heart of Solomon.

Ecclesiastes is one of the most practical books in the bible, because it asks a question we all ask from time to time - what’s the point of life? Now, you would think that a man like Solomon, who had everything a person could want, would never ask that question, but he was really lost at this point in his life.

Today we begin a new series in the book of Ecclesiastics. This book is attributed to King Solomon, the first of Israel’s wise men. As wise as he was, we can see in the twelve chapters of this book that wisdom didn’t necessarily bring peace to Solomon’s heart. He had many questions about life. In fact, Solomon may have been the first man who suffered a “mid-life crisis”. He had about everything a man could want, yet he felt empty. His question was - “So what is the point of it all?”.

The apostle Paul was a great friend to the Thessalonians. They held a special place in his heart, that’s for sure. Yet, there were some who questioned his loyalty to them. His response is a valuable lesson in friendship for us all.

There are several phrases that us human beings find difficult to say. “I’m sorry” is a tough one for a lot of people, and another one is “I forgive you”. That will be pastor Al’s focus today - forgiving one another.

We appreciate you tuning our way today for a message from pastor Al’s new series titled “Healthy Church Fundamentals”. The fundamentals we are considering might also be called foundations, because a healthy church in the year 2024 has to have a firm and unwavering foundation in order to grow and prosper. One of those foundational principles is service to one another. Maybe it would be better put this way - putting other’s needs ahead of our own.
