Scripting the Flip - Ecclesiastes - Chapter 2

4d ago 34:32

MP3•Episode home

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Ecclesiastes series.

Solomon had it all: wealth, wisdom, wine, women, and work. Yet he called it all hevel: vapor, mist, a striving after the wind. In Ecclesiastes 2, we meet a man who tried everything under the sun and still found himself empty.

But this isn't just ancient pessimism; it's a timeless invitation to stop grasping for satisfaction in things that can't fulfill you, and to start pursuing God, the only pursuit that lasts, the only One who gives true joy.

If you've ever asked, "What's the point?" — this is for you.
