Text: Ecclesiastes 12:9-14   Consider the Weighty Words of Wisdom (12:9-12) God's wisdom is like a goad that spurs us onward. God's wisdom is like well-driven nails that fix our hearts to truth. God's wisdom comes to us from the Shepherd of our souls.   Consider the Whole Duty of Man (12:13-14) We are called to walk in the fear of God. We are called to obey the Word of God. We are energized and equipped by God to walk in His ways (1 Thess. 5:23-24).

The future may seem uncertain to us, but we can trust in the certainty of God's faithfulness.   Live Every Day With Gratitude for God's Gifts (11:7-10) We must celebrate our days before the face of God, rejoicing in all He has given and done for us. We must live wisely before the face of God, knowing we are ultimately accountable to Him.   Live Every Day in Remembrance of God's Name (12:1-8) We must live our days before the face of God, for the glory of God alone. We can face suffering and death before the face of God knowing that He will safely bring us into His presence to dwell with Him forever. (2 Cor. 4:13-18)

Text: Ecclesiastes 10   Foolishness Will Lead You Astray (10:1-4) A little bit of foolishness goes a long way to lead your heart astray from God's wisdom. A little bit of foolishness leads to a life that lacks any sense.   Foolishness Will Lead You to Ruin (10:5-14) Foolishness will inevitably cause your downfall into destruction. Foolishness will inevitably consume you through your reckless words.   Foolishness Will Lead You to Indolence (10:15-20) Foolishness will cultivate a lifestyle of laziness and apathy.

Text: Ecclesiastes 9   The Unfailing Hand of God's Providence (9:1) As we consider our lives, the future often seems uncertain and unpredictable. Therefore, we must rest our lives in God's sovereignty and trust in His promises.   The Inescapable Reality of Our Death (9:2-6) Death is the great leveler and the inevitable event for all mankind. Therefore, we still have hope while we live if we will trust in the salvation of Christ.   The Meaningful Enjoyment of God's Gifts (9:7-10) In this life, God has given us wonderful gifts to enjoy that we do not deserve. In view of our death, we learn to rightly assess and appreciate what God has given to us.   The Trustworthy Nature of God's Wisdom (9:11-18) When we view life under the sun, it seems uncertain, unpredictable, and unrewarding. When we view life from God's perspective, we see how His wisdom surpasses everything else.

We know that God is the final authority and judge of all.   Look to God's Unfathomable Wisdom (8:14-17) Life can seem unfair and unjust when viewed from our limited perspective.

Satisfaction cannot be achieved in a full bank account, a thriving family, and a long life. Satisfaction can only be found in an eternal God who put eternity in our hearts.   The Limitless Longing in All People (6:7-9) We all have an insatiable desire that cannot be satisfied apart from God. We can either find our satisfaction in God, or we can chase after the wind.   The Certain Cycle of All Events (6:10-12) Human words and effort cannot change the inevitable end of all things.

Text | Ecclesiastes 2:18-26 18 I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me, 19 and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity. 20 So I turned about and gave my heart up to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun, 21 because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. 22 What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun?23 For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity. 24 There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment[a] in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, 25 for apart from him[b] who can eat or who can have enjoyment? 26 For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
