Life in a Fleeting World

A major theme in the book of Ecclesiastes is the fleeting nature of the world. The author calls everything “vanity” or a “striving after the wind.” Yet, the author finds clear joy and a way to live a meaningful life despite the fleeting nature of the world. As we study this book, our prayer is that the Lord would give us this same sort of sober joy as we follow Jesus in a broken world. So, come, join us for a 12-week study of Ecclesiastes. Each week we will discuss a passage together and learn how God calls us to respond.
