There is always a sense of satisfaction when you come to the end of a book or project. I know what it is like to be reading a book and reading that last page, especially if it has been a tough go. We come to the end of Ecclesiastes this week with a sermon I have titled Is That All There Is?
My purpose this week is to remind the folks what Solomon has taught us over the past 4 months (with a 4 week break for Easter). I’ve been able to weed down each sermon into a short lesson that I think will make it easier to see Ecclesiastes as a whole with tremendous lessons (if we are listening).
All of this will make more sense if we remember our main purpose in life. The Westminster Shorter Catechism (a creed we don’t really know or follow as a church body with regular recitations) opens with the words, “The chief end of man is to glorify God and to worship Him forever.” Bottom line: that is our purpose. With that as the main idea, I am going to review the lessons Solomon has taught us throughout his book.
I’d love it if you would join me-in person or online. If not, then please pray for me, for us. I need that more than anything.
I won’t miss it this week, Bill!
Blessings!
That’s always good to hear Martha. Thanks
Bill, so glad you are back in the pulpit. I am sure your congregation is also. Praying for your message brother.
Thanks Betty. It was good to be back but Ryan does a good job (even for a youth pastor). LOL Seriously, he has grown so much and the people like him (which is always good). Thanks Betty for the prayers.
