The Emptiness of Living Life to the Fullest - Ecclesiastes: Searching for Meaning (Ch 1:12-2:26)

The search for meaning and joy is sought through the gaining of wisdom, the accumulation of wealth, the experience of pleasure, the accomplishments of work, the creation of beauty, the value of right living. Here we meet a man who sets his heart to travel all these roads to their fullest only to find they all wind up at the same dead end. Hear from the experience of the Preacher about the emptiness of living life to the fullest apart from God, who is the only source of true meaning and joy.

Same Old, Same Old - Ecclesiastes: Searching for Meaning (Ch 1:1-11)

As adults we can be good at pretending that our lives have meaning and significance because of what we know, have, or do. If we're honest, we know that life is not all that it appears to be on people's social media pages. The book of Ecclesiastes comes at us like a shock wave of reality, giving voice to what we often feel, but are afraid to say: it all seems meaningless. But is that really true? Here we learn hard but helpful wisdom from one man's search for meaning in life.
