The Search for Satisfaction - Ecc. 1:13-2:11 - Wednesday Evening Bible Study
The world that Ecclesiastes portrays is endlessly busy and hopelessly inconclusive. In the end of chapter 1 and through chapter 2 the preacher moves us from beyond speaking in allegories or word pictures to summarize life under the sun, and he shifts to personal experience. In this section, we can take his discoveries as definitive to what he personally found. In the opening verses, he quickly reveals that he did not find answers in life itself. Now he turns his focus to pleasure, work, and knowledge (the things of life).
Scripture References: Romans 7:12-25, Romans 8:20-22, Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, Ecclesiastes 1:13-18, Matthew 25:1-46

From Series: "Ecclesiastes: Life Under the Sun"
We want to examine and consider life under the sun and realize that must point to someone beyond it: Jesus Christ.
