When You Only Look Around
While Ecclesiastes is one of the 'older' books in the Bible, it might also be the most modern. In the opening chapter, the Teacher reminds us that life seems pointless when we look for meaning around us and not above us.

The Savior, Immanuel
Christmas is not just about Jesus' birth as "Immanuel", but about what He accomplished as Immanuel. Because He was God with Us, Jesus was able to identify with us, save us, mediate for us, and give new meaning to our lives.

Soul Cravings - Meaning
We all try to make sense of our lives. From the time we are small children we begin by asking the question, "why?" Solomon wrote a descriptive memoir of sorts about his pursuit of meaning organizers and how each of them concluded with further emptiness.

The End of the Matter
We don’t like to think about God as being someone that we should be afraid of. We would much rather think of God as a kindly grandfather who gives presents but never disciplines. King Solomon concludes his words by reminding us that we are all accountable to God. Someday we will all stand before Him and give an account for our actions. Because of this we should fear His discipline and judgment and obey His commands. These words can be painful to hear, but Solomon says that wise words are often painful but they are the poking and prodding from a good Shepherd who is trying to guide His foolish and stubborn sheep.

Connect the Dots
There are many things in life that do not make sense. And just like Jesus did to a couple of His followers on the road to Emmaus, He is ready to show up in our journey of life and reveal to us His true mission. He desires to bring meaning and understanding by connecting the dots in our lives.

REAL Life
"Why do you look for the living among the dead?" The angels at the tomb of Jesus ask this question of the women who expect to see the body of Jesus, but, to their surprise, he has risen from the dead. We ourselves are searching. We search for meaning in life, putting our hope in achievement, possessions and relationships, but all is dead compared to the meaning found in Jesus Christ.
