Ecclesiastes 4
Solomon turns from death and despair to consider human relationships, and leads off with this penetrating insight: at a core level, we are all anti-neighbor. We feel like we are in competition with one another, and constantly trying to prove our worth by outperforming one another. This effects all of our relationships, making real, vulnerable, intimate relationship something beyond our grasp. How can we become the kind of community that overcomes this twisted motivation?

Ecclesiastes 3
This week Solomon looks at the transient nature of life. Everything comes and goes, everything has its season and time, and nothing ever stays the same. Change is constant. And as we try to live in a constantly changing world, we find ourselves grasping for control, hoping that something can be made permanent. Solomon says the attempt is futile... How can the gospel bring hope to our futility and set us free from our need for control?

Perspective On Time
If you keep on living, you grow old. Eventually, everyone dies. However, not everyone grows old or dies in the same way. Christ-followers are exhorted to let the reality of a transitory life, transform the way they live.
