4.24.22 Greater Than: Chasing After the Wind

Greater Than: “Chasing After the Wind”

Ecclesiastes 1:1-18

April 24, 2022

I. The vanity of life

II. The vanity of gaining wisdom

III. The vanity of life without God

LET’S GO DEEPER:

1. What are some activities you engage in that seem monotonous and unending?

2. What things do you or people you know look to as a means of relieving the redundancy of life?

3. To what does the phrase “under the sun” refer? How does that limited experience render everything we do meaningless?

4. How does death render everything we do meaningless?

5. Why do we always think true happiness will be found in something we lack right now?

6. What is Solomon’s purpose in exposing the meaninglessness of life under the sun? Does he achieve his purpose?

7. How does Christ bring significance and meaning to all of our actions, including the ones that seem mundane?
