Meaningless - Week 1 // October 19, 2025

This week we start into a new sermon series through the book of Ecclesiastes titled, “Meaningless”. Have you ever asked yourself, “what’s the point?” when referring to the things of life? This series is for you! Pastor Jeni starts this week by introducing that very point. Join us for this sermon series as we go through one of the most unique books in Scripture together, discovering what the “Author” and the “Teacher” have to say about life under the sun.

Things to consider as you listen:

• The Bible is full of many diverse literary styles.

• Literary style impacts interpretation.

• Ecclesiastes is often categorized as wisdom literature.

  • 2 characters in Ecclesiastes: The Author & the Teacher

• Qohelet - “Teacher” - translated to mean “convener of an assembly” or “collector of sentences”

• Hebel - “meaningless” - literal translation is “breath” or “vapor”

• The pleasures & accomplishments of life are meaningful, but they do not provide ultimate meaning.

• Author’s Summary:

  • Wisdom is good even though sometimes it hurts.

  • Everything will be judged.

  • The Solution: Fear God & obey his commands.
