April 19, 2020 • Josh Lindstrom • Ecclesiastes 1:1-18
This earth is not as it should be, “For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Romans 8:20-21). The Preacher wrestles with this reality and its implications for our daily life. In the end, our only hope is to find our satisfaction and joy in the person and work of Jesus and look forward to the day when we are set free from the monotony of this life and the effects of sin.
Sermon Points:
I. We live on a treadmill. Ecclesiastes 1:1-11
II. We tell ourselves to “run faster.” Ecclesiastes 1:12-18
III. Through Christ, we can step off. John 14:6
