It’s Off To Work We Go - Ecclesiastes 2:17-26
Some people love their work, others hate it. The first group has a skip in their step and a smile on their face when they leave home for work. The second drags themselves into the office with thoughts of dread or boredom.
However you feel about work, it's something we're destined to do. For about fifty years or so. That's why the message focus this week in Ecclesiastes can have immense value for all of us. The sooner we learn what Solomon learned the hard way, the better off we'll be when it's off to work we go.

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.
