THIS SUNDAY! Join Element at Ferini Park in Los Alamos at 9:00am for ONE Church Service In The Park! All are welcome. Help us Celebrate together with Old Days.
Today in Ecclesiastes we are going to look at what the fear of God means, and how God stands over our meaninglessness. Ecclesiastes is a look at how the wisest man in the world ended his days in reflection of all he accomplished; he comes to the conclusion that following God is the only way to truly live. Solomon keeps reminding us that what we build with our hands under the sun is like a vapor and that only life with God lasts. We trust God for what He reveals and also trust Him for what we don’t understand.
From Series: "Ecclesiastes - The Existential Hangover"
Ecclesiastes is a book that deals with the idea of our existence. The teacher of the book looks at life "under the sun," which is a way to say "our life a part from who God is." Under the sun refers to all of our works that are temporary and contrasts them with things that are eternal, the things that belong to God who isn't confined to live "under the sun." The book looks at a life of someone who achieved everything anyone could have wanted yet still wakes up the next day and says, "now what?" We are calling the series the Existential Hangover because we will deal with our lives and how they are meaningless without Jesus. Ecclesiastes asks questions that can only be answered by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
