Welcome to this virtual study of the book of Ecclesiastes! For week one, read Ecclesiastes 1:1-11. Then think about the following questions:
How would you express the Preacher’s main point here in your own words? Which thoughts can you most relate to? What does the Preacher observe when he looks at nature? What is his complaint about human beings in verse 8? Do you agree with his statement in verse 9 that there is “nothing new under the sun”?
THE VOICE OF JESUS — Read Romans 8:20-21 to hear God’s answer to life’s futility. Read Mark 8:36 to hear Jesus’ warning about toil and profit. Read John 6:35 to learn where we find true satisfaction. Read 2 Corinthians 5:17 & Revelation 21:5 to hear about what God makes new.
