Graduating senior Jeremy Allen exhorts from Ecclesiastes 3:1-9

Wisdom reminds us that when we approach God in prayer and worship that our words should be few; since, our foolish tendency is to multiply words instead of trusting in the perfect and sufficient words of Christ.

To be happy in this life it's not enough to just do the standard things; we nust consider the work of God.

 Dr. Eswine exposited Ecclesiastes 9:13-16. First, we must learn to come alongside our congregation and show care and love for them in God’s grace as we apply the wisdom we learn from His creation and providence as Jesus exemplified. Secondly, we are called to become wise men ourselves and be content with being small and insignificant in the eyes of the world but known and loved by God.

The Preacher of Ecclesiastes cautions us not to be overly optimistic about wisdom and its power.  Even though wisdom works well, time and chance can spoil the benefits of wisdom and a little bit of folly can destroy wisdom’s power.

Office Hours talks with Dr. J.V. Fesko about Wisdom in Ecclesiastes.

J. V. Fesko discusses his book on Ecclesiastes, Where Wisdom is Found: Christ in Ecclesiastes.

Wisdom beckons us to control our insatiable desires and greed and to be content with what we have been given.

The only way to understand and appreciate Ecclesiastes is to do so in light of Jesus Christ who was wisdom made manifest.
