Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes 10 - September 9, 2026
Wisdom is better than folly, as light is better than darkness. Follow the wise path, even when the foolish path seems easier (Ecc 2:13-14). Wisdom cannot make you immortal (Ecc 2:15). Everlasting life is God's free gift (Jn 5:24).
Ecclesiastes 9 - September 2, 2026
Human success does not guarantee inner contentment (Ecc 2:9-11). As you find joy in the Lord, your desires will align with His will (Ps 37:4). Consider whether decisions glorify God (Ecc 2:12).
Ecclesiastes 8 - August 26, 2026
Solomon accumulated impressive projects, possessions, wealth, and entertainment, only to discover that lasting contentment comes from fellowship with God, not material success (Ecc. 2:5–8; Ps. 16:11).
Ecclesiastes 7 - August 19, 2026
Solomon tested pleasure (wine and folly) and achievements only to discover it was not a substitute for a relationship with God (Ecc 2:1-3; Ps 16:11).
Ecclesiastes 6 - August 12, 2026
Human wisdom has genuine value, but it has limits. Learn from consequences of foolish choices (Ecc 1:17). Greater knowledge brings greater sorrow (Ecc 1:18; Gen 3).
Ecclesiastes 5 - July 22, 2026
Life under the sun leaves every worldview searching for answers to life's hardest questions (Ecc 1:12-14). Even Solomon's God-given wisdom couldn't fix what sin has broken or fill life's void (Ecc 1:15-16). Only God can make straight what is crooked, so trust Him rather than human effort (1 Cor 10:13).
Ecclesiastes 4 - July 15, 2026
Life often feels like an endless cycle of activity (Ecc 1:9-11). Keep the perspective that you are working for God (Col 3:23). Involve Him in your daily routine (Jas 1:17).
Ecclesiastes 3 - July 1, 2026
Solomon teaches that although God's creation faithfully follows His unchanging order, the repetitive cycles of life and the endless pursuit of earthly things can never satisfy the human heart—only a relationship with God brings lasting purpose and contentment (Ecc 1:5–8; Gen 1:14–19; Gen 8:22; Jn 17:3).
Ecclesiastes 2 - June 24, 2026
Solomon presented himself as a teacher with wisdom to share (Ecc 1:1). Earthly pursuits and human effort cannot satisfy an eternal soul (Ecc 1:2-3). Life is short, so invest in what lasts forever (Ecc 1:4).
Ecclesiastes 1 - June 17, 2026
Introduction to Ecclesiastes. Worldly definitions of happiness. Solomon had all these things, but he concluded that all was vanity and grasping for the wind (Ecc 1:14). God has placed within every human a longing for something beyond this world (Ecc 3:11; Mk 8:36).
