Sermon notes

Ecclesiastes 9

Two things are in your future, both of which frustrated Solomon:

1. Both the righteous and wicked are subjected to the unexplainable, unpredictable distribution of adversity and prosperity during life
2. Both the righteous and the wicked share the same destiny after life – They all die.

Contentment, comfort and companionship help you get through the seasons of life.

The Seasons of life can be unpredictable, inescapable and abrupt.

My question for you:  How do you deal with the reality that your terminal?

Solomon’s experience with life and death helps me in two ways:

1. Solomon’s frustrations help me to stay balanced.
2. Solomon’s motivations help me to make the most of every day and to live with a sense of purposefulness.
