Ecclesiastes 3 part 3
July 26, 2024
In our educational system, the way we have it set up now, students are given tests to measure where they’re at. Without the test, it’s not so easy to gauge progress. Well God believes in using tests as well, and through them He reveals what we’re really like. There are good reasons for them, and we’ll see that in a moment.

Our lives revolve around time. Could you imagine trying to navigate through life without it? When would we arrive at work, or know when to meet someone, or schedule an appointment without the time? God is also very concerned about time, and as we’ll see today there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.

Our series in Ecclesiastes continues today as pastor Al begins a look at chapter three. This chapter was made famous by a rock band in the sixties, but it's message is deep and rich with truths for us today.

Many people today wonder if God is really in control! So is He? Ecclesiastes makes it clear that God is sovereign and that everything under His control has its season. God’s timing is perfect - ours isn’t. So shouldn’t we try to exercise patience and wait for God to act in our lives and show us the way? Sounds good to me, and it sounded good to King Solomon.

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?”.

We are pleased to have you with us today as pastors Al brings to a close his mini-series titled “Healthy Church Fundamentals”. Do you consider your church to be “healthy”? There are certainly signs to be looking out for that would indicate an unhealthy church, and one of them is a lack of forgiveness.
