Ecclesiastes 1, 12 // Jonathan NeefThis sermon explores the cyclical nature of life and the search for meaning as described in the book of Ecclesiastes. We look at the stark observations of the teacher in chapter 1 regarding the vanity of human toil and the pursuit of things "under the sun." By contrasting the weariness of endless cycles with the concluding wisdom in chapter 12, this study helps us find a grounded purpose that remains steady even when life feels fleeting.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49623973 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.06.21

Chasing the Wind: Ten Rules from Solomon for Catching What LastsEpisode 10: Do Everything with All Your MightWhat if the difference between a life of regret and a life of fulfillment is simply showing up fully to what God has placed in your hands today?In this final episode, Dan Holland brings Solomon's ten rules together with one powerful challenge: "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might." Life is short. Opportunities are limited. The people we love, the work we do, and the moments we are given matter more than we often realize.You'll discover why wholehearted living honors God, how faithfulness is measured by effort rather than outcomes, and why the best way to stop chasing the wind is to fully engage the life God has already given you.The question at the heart of this episode is simple:Where are you holding back when God is calling you to show up fully?Scriptures:Ecclesiastes 9:10Colossians 3:17Colossians 3:231 Corinthians 15:58Stop chasing the wind. Start living the life God has placed in your hands.Follow Coach Dan Holland:Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/CoachDanHollandYouTube ➡️ @CoachDanHollandVisit us online

In Ecclesiastes 11:1–6, Solomon shifts us from caution to courage. He challenges us not to wait for perfect conditions, but to step into life with faith—living generously, working diligently, and engaging fully with what God has placed in front of us. His warning is clear: “Whoever watches the wind will not plant.” Waiting for certainty can keep us from actually living.Follow Coach Dan Holland:Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/CoachDanHollandYouTube ➡️ @CoachDanHollandVisit us online

In Ecclesiastes 7:15–18, Solomon gives us a surprising warning – not to live in extremes. He's not lowering the standard; he's pointing out that both legalism (control through rules) and careless living (anything goes) can pull us away from a healthy, God-centered life.Today, our goal is to recognize where we me may be living out of balance. Most of us don't drift into trouble overnight—it happens slowly through small extremes over time. Follow Coach Dan Holland:Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/CoachDanHollandYouTube ➡️ @CoachDanHollandVisit us online

We're continuing in our Chasing The Wind series and this week focuses on Rule #6: Gain Wisdom. Solomon shifts us from talking about character to something that protects and guides everything else – wisdom. In Ecclesiastes 7, he tells us that wisdom “preserves the life of its possessor.” That's a powerful reminder that wisdom isn't just helpful—it's protective. The key distinction this week is simple but important: information is not wisdom. We live in a world full of knowledge, yet wisdom is the ability to live rightly with what we know. This should naturally lead to honest reflection on the gap between knowing and doing.Follow Coach Dan Holland:Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/CoachDanHollandYouTube ➡️ @CoachDanHollandVisit us online

Episode Five of Chasing the Wind shifts our focus from image to character and asks a deeper question: What kind of reputation is your life creating?In Ecclesiastes 7, Solomon reminds us that “a good name is better than fine perfume,” teaching that the true measure of success is not what we accumulate but who we become. A good name is built slowly through integrity, humility, and faithfulness over time. In this episode, we discover that the character we cultivate today becomes the legacy we carry tomorrow.The fifth rule for catching what lasts is both practical and enduring: maintain a good name.Follow Coach Dan Holland:Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/CoachDanHollandYouTube ➡️ @CoachDanHollandVisit us online

Episode Four of Chasing the Wind confronts one of the most common illusions in life: the belief that joy always exists somewhere in the future.In Ecclesiastes 6, Solomon observes that many people spend their lives chasing the next opportunity, achievement, or possession, only to discover that satisfaction keeps moving further away. When the heart is always roaming for more, it never learns to enjoy what God has already placed in front of us. In this episode, we learn that contentment is not settling for less—it is learning to see and receive life as a gift from God.The fourth rule for catching what lasts is both simple and transformative: be content and enjoy what you have.Follow Coach Dan Holland:Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/CoachDanHollandYouTube ➡️ @CoachDanHollandVisit us online

Episode Three of Chasing the Wind exposes one of the quiet forces that steals joy and contentment from our lives: comparison.In Ecclesiastes 4, Solomon notes that much of our work and ambition are fueled by envy...comparing our lives to someone else's success. But a life based on comparison will never find peace, because the scoreboard is always changing. In this episode, we learn that wisdom calls us to step away from rivalry, envy, and competition and discover the strength of a quiet, contented life.The third rule for catching what lasts is both freeing and practical: Don't compete with your neighbor.Follow Coach Dan Holland:Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/CoachDanHollandYouTube ➡️ @CoachDanHolland Visit us online

Episode Two of Chasing the Wind turns our attention to how we approach God. Solomon warns that it is possible to believe in God and still treat Him casually. In Ecclesiastes 5, he calls us to guard our steps, listen carefully, and remember who God truly is. In this episode, we learn that real spiritual growth begins when reverence replaces routine and obedience replaces empty words.

We spend much of our lives chasing success, approval, and achievement, believing these things will finally satisfy us. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon discovered that real success begins when life is centered on pleasing God rather than ourselves or others. This week, we start with the foundational rule for catching what lasts: learning to live each day with one simple aim...
