Bible Study – All Through the Old Testament: Ecclesiastes and Asking Questions

The book of Ecclesiastes takes us into some deep waters that call into question everything we tend to think about the world. The Teacher in Ecclesiastes says that all the worldly things people put value in, they're actually meaningless; all of it is vanity. So we talk about how to let go of the world, while still appreciating it, and grow closer to the Lord, even though we'll never fully understand God. Tricky things to balance!
The verses we read aloud were Ecclesiastes 1:3-5, 9-14; 3:9-13, 18-22; 9:7-10; 8:17. (Read them online here.)
