All is Vanity

Ecclesiastes, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Podcast: Play in new window

Today we begin a new series through the book of Ecclesiastes. It’s a timeless, and timely, book. In it, the author, a preacher-king, recounts a lifelong search for meaning, purpose, and satisfaction “under the sun.” His quest is an attempt to make sense of life on a purely horizontal plane, without God in the picture. To do so, he exhausts every nook and cranny of the created order and human potential. Yet, again and again, he discovers “all is vanity.” Today, in Ecclesiastes 1:1-11, we see the author recount path after path which lead only to dead ends, so by the end, there is only one way left.
