Sermons About Vanity
Chasing Wind
What is important in life? Solomon, one of the wisest men who ever lived had a lot to say about this. Even this great man blew it big time and after reflecting on his life in his old age, he tells us that what we need to do is focus on God's mercy and grace and not on the stuff of this life. The fleeting pleasures of this life will rob us of the things that are of the most importance, eternal things.

Vanity of Vanities!
In the book of Ecclesiastes, the Preacher, declares "Vanity of vanities! All is vanity." But he doesn't leave us hopeless and meaningless. Solomon, directs our attention to the fact that even after living a life of wealth, power, position, and pleasures, God is in control. And what he concludes, when all has been heard, is: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.

On any given day, approximately 155,000 people worldwide die. This works out to about 56.5 million people every year. Some deaths are peaceful and others violent and tragic. Some die of disease, lack of necessities and others of old age; some die at the hands of another person, some by accident or of a natural disaster. Death is a hard thing. It brings much sorrow and pain to our lives and cuts so many lives short. It is the one thing all of us have in common.
