Chasing the Wind - The Book of Ecclesiastes
I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after the wind...or is it?
Life is a journey from cradle to grave with lots of questions along the way. Some of us try to stay amused to the point where we just laugh our way through life never really confronting its many pains and frustrations. Such attempts turn out to be in vain. Others are daily aware of injustice, oppression and the cruel realities of our world. Whether young or old there is a point when we must ask what life is really about. Is it a journey with God going somewhere? Or an empty straining through nothingness really going nowhere?
Join us this fall as we travel through the ancient book of Ecclesiastes; a writing which presses us into the deepest questions about life and God.
