Ecclesiastes, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

We are continuing our new series through the book of Ecclesiastes. It’s a timeless, and timely, book. In it, the author, a preacher-king, recounts a lifelong search for meaning, purpose, and satisfaction “under the sun.” His quest is an attempt to make sense of life on a purely horizontal plane, without God in the picture. To do so, he exhausts every nook and cranny of the created order and human potential. Yet, again and again, he discovers “all is vanity.” Today, in Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, he puts pleasure to the test.

Today we begin a new series through the book of Ecclesiastes. It’s a timeless, and timely, book. In it, the Preacher-King recounts a lifelong search for meaning, purpose, and satisfaction “under the sun.” His quest is an attempt to make sense of life on a purely horizontal plane, without God in the picture. To do so, he exhausts every nook and cranny of the created order and human potential. Yet, again and again, he discovers “all is vanity.” Path after path leads to a dead end, so by the end, there is only one way left.
