Everything is Meaningless Part 1
What is the meaning of life? It's a question we have looked at for thousands of years. In this series we take a look at the life of King Solomon, as he tried everything to find meaning.
Ecclesiastes 7
Turning from his despairing search for ultimate meaning in life, Solomon begins to give some practical advice for navigating our broken world. In this message, we discuss what wisdom is, why we need it, and where we can get it.

Proverbs 4: Wisdom - it's not what you think (second service)
SUMMARY: We think we’re meant to ‘get wisdom’ to face the day, but Jesus does – in his wisdom lavishes grace on us in the mess and trouble. OUTCOME: Repentance from trusting self, new trust in Jesus, receiving more of his grace.

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?

Ecclesiastes 2
After Solomon's introduction, he proceeds to take us on a journey into everything "under the sun" - all that we pursue in this short life, desperately trying to make life meaningful. His conclusion is that the whole pursuit is a burden, and he begins to despair. In particular, Solomon looks death in the face and realizes that if death ultimately wins, then everything is ultimately vain.
