ECCLESIASTES The Question of Life
The Megilloth (“The Scrolls”)
1-2 3 4-5 6-9 10-12 1st Sermon 2nd Sermon 3rd Sermon 4th Sermon 5th Sermon There is profit in seeing God as the giver of all of the seasons of life Instead of being fearful, enjoy life while it lasts because it is a gift from God Man sees life as a struggle, but God gave life to be enjoyed Because of the emptiness of this life, man ought to fear the Lord and follow His word All of life is emptiness, but man ought to enjoy goodness because it is from God
Solomon’s Diary Emptiness!
Lessons from the Seasons of Life • Life is a gift from God • To everything there is a season • This is a call to live purposefully • We are called to enjoy the journey • Part of this enjoyment is found in the “one another principles”
The Preacher gives four reasons why it is better not to be alone 4:9 4:10 4:11 4:12 Two are better than one because… They have good results in their labor They can pick up one another in trouble They can warm one another in the cold They can hold up one another in adversity Work Falling Cold Adversity
Principles of Priority 11:9 11:10 12:1 Rejoice... in young manhood Remove vexation from your heart pain from your body Remember your Creator in the days of your youth
Remember the Lord because… • You aren't getting any Younger. • God has designed you to the Empty without Him. • Now is the Time to Prepare for Eternity.
