Man Without Meaning - Ecclesiastes 1:1-11
If you’ve ever longed for something more. If you’ve been plagued by dissatisfaction. Gone through the motions. Felt empty, exhausted, hopeless, or bored. This Sunday is a can’t miss at Bridges.
The Chase, a new teaching series, begins this Sunday morning. Yes, the Chase. The chase for more. The chase for a better life. The chase for satisfaction. The chase for meaning in a meaningless world.
If ever there was a man who struggled with this chase, it was King Solomon. This week we will dive into his journal of regret, Ecclesiastes. What we’ll see will give us much-needed help in a world that’s on the chase for more.
From Series: "The Chase"
This Week's Sermon: "The Final Word"
Why do musicians wait until the end of a concert to play their biggest hit? And why do we save dessert for the end of a meal? It’s because, as the old adage says, you save the best for last.
The same is true in the book of Ecclesiastes. Solomon – after having explored almost every form of worldly pleasure imaginable in an effort to find meaning and satisfaction in his life – saved what is arguably his best, most valuable piece of wisdom for the end of the book. And he summed it all up for us in one important, final word.
