Under the Sun - the search for meaning in our every day lives
A little more rest... more money.... a better job... more … you can fill in the blank yourself. It's too easy to get caught up in the endless, exhausting pursuit of more. The things we chase aren't necessarily bad themselves, but we expect them to give us satisfaction and security that never comes. How do we break this cycle and find what we're really searching for?
Join us for our message series titled "Under the Sun" as we go through the ancient book of Ecclesiastes. The book of Ecclesiastes was written as a sort of journal by King Solomon who was the 3rd King of the ancient nation of Israel. This book addresses head on the search for meaning in our everyday lives.
We hope you join us and use the discipleship resources below to get the most out of this teaching series.

Scripture + Prayer
Spending time in Scripture and prayer is an essential part of growing as a disciple of Jesus. During this teaching series, we encourage you to do three things:
-
Read through Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, one chapter each day, over the next few weeks.
-
Consistently pray the following:
God, reveal the things I look to for the significance, security, and satisfaction that only you can provide.
-
Memorize Ecclesiastes 3:11-14.
Start with one verse and add an additional verse each week.11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfac- tion in all their toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
