Sermon from June 10

Here is the listening guide from my sermon Sunday. I've begun a summer poetry book series on Ecclesiastes:

Ecclesiastes 1

1. Ecclesiastes means preacher, and this is Solomon's sermon about the meaning of life.

2. "Meaningless" and "Vanity" can be translated smoke. In other words, life is short and we are dust in the wind. (vs. 14)

3. Life is an endless cycle and we cannot change that. (vs. 4 - 7) and nothing is truly new to us. (vs. 10 - 11).

4. We are never satisfied, no matter how much we have. (vs. 8).

5. Even knowledge and wisdom do not satisfy us. (vs. 13 - 18).

6. James Dean said, "The only greatness a man can achieve is immortality." 1 Corinthians 15:19
