But I think it's going to warm up this week is going to be nice, though.
It's cold.
I tell you that Ice Cube's had chill, bumps this morning, but it is cold.
I tell you.
Well, miss Elsie was here this past Wednesday.
So maybe her arthritis is acting up.
So we want to pray for them and Jenny had a headache.
I think this morning, so I will pray for her and And glad that she was able to be here, the last few weeks.
We need to pray for our country as well.
For the leadership.
And And just the right decisions would be made.
We need to do that.
But it is good to see.
I'm glad you're here.
We're going to continue in the Book of Ecclesiastes this morning.
And what we're going to do this morning.
Is we going to begin?
Where we left off last week, which was 12.
And we're going to go from verse 12 all the way through chapter 2, which is verse 26.
So we have about 6 vs left in chapter one, then we're going to do chapter two, as well.
So here's our new series searching for heaven on our own Earth, and we're studying the book of ecclesiastic.
And here's the days, message, when the American dream becomes a nightmare looking for meaning, in all the wrong places, and somebody sing a song looking for love in all the wrong places.
I thought so.
Well, this here is looking for meaning, in all the wrong places.
That's when the American dream becomes a nightmare.
So I have a couple slides, I'm going to show each week.
Remember the, the word vanity we continuing, we need to continue to remember what that means.
It means breath or vapor life is a vapor, but it can also Mill.
So when we have something in our hearts and in our lives, that's more important to us than God that thing or that person.
Tidal.
And we worship it more than God and then the next slide, good things.
And let's just name a few pleasure, sex money, success acceptance.
Good things can become bad things, obsessions addiction and idles.
When Good Things become ruling things in your life.
What I'm saying, here is is when we take the gift that God give gives us and we start worshipping them instead of God.
That's when Good Things become bad things.
But what I want to do this morning is, first of all, his talk about the American dream.
What is the American dry me?
If you've heard that phrase throughout your life, the American dream.
Now, you know, it started gentlemen.
I can't remember his name.
He wrote a book back in 1931.
And he coined this phrase, the American dream now back.
Then, this is what the American dream was that you own your own house.
That you was married and you had started a family.
And you either had a stable job or you owned your own business.
That was the American dream.
So just think of it like this.
You were happy.
You were content you were married.
Maybe had a boy and a girl and a dog and a cat.
And you had a home.
You had a good job.
You were financially secure.
That is the American dream.
Now today.
The American dream has changed somewhat and also includes education.
You have a good education and even health care that if you have Healthcare, you know, because a lot of them know how expensive it is.
And if you don't have insurance, this is difficult.
So now Healthcare and education is included in the American dream.
Now we know and most of you here are probably married most You both do have a home.
Most of us do have insurance.
So I'm better than others.
But most have insurance.
Many of us have children.
Most of us have pets.
We've achieved the American dream.
But yeah, the American dream.
Is a big fat lie without God because the American dream will not satisfy.
And when we put those things that Encompass, the American dream, first and foremost in our life, the American dream becomes the American Nightmare.
And that's what I want to talk about today because Solomon is going to go through four areas of life that we probably all gone through and tried to find meaning in those things.
And in the end, it always comes back and he says, vanity of vanities.
He says, it's like chasing the wind.
I like to see it.
It's like plowing water and shoveling smoke.
It's what it's like.
Well, if you remember last week saw him and moved, we talked about how he observe, life from nature, from water, and the wind and things like that testimony, that he had tried everything and nothing satisfied to him.
Everything was meaningless.
And I look what he says in verse 12 of chapter one.
The very first of all, he says I the preacher was King over Israel in Jerusalem.
So he's putting that in the past tense.
Soba Solomon is probably at the end of his life and he saying that one time I was King over Israel, so we won't pay attention what he says because I say, he was the wisest man in the world and be, he has all these experiences that we can learn from.
And him being the wisest man in the world.
What he's about to tell us, we ought to keep it in our hearts and in our minds because it is true.
So he goes on this wisdom search and he concludes that, it's all miserable.
He says, all of our activity is like, chasing.
When now, I remember, when I was a little boy.
My mama used to buy you.
One of these little cans, you could buy and have a little round, like stick in it and it was Bubbles and you can stick it in there, and I would run in the yard and go like this and Bubbles will go everywhere.
You know what I'm trying to do.
I try to catch him for what happened.
When you tried to catch a bubble.
It would pop.
It's like I'm trying to catch the wind, but I couldn't do it and I didn't understand it.
Well, that's the idea here, our efforts in this Fallen World to try to find significance and meaning and purpose in life.
Apart from God is like trying to catch a bubble.
It's just going to pop you not going to be able to do it now people.
And, you know, there's a lot of people today who suffering weather is financial or physical.
And they say well if I had more money or if I had better friends, or if I could just get over this illness.
My life would be better.
