    My wife and I have the habit of reading through the Bible over and over again and then listening to expository preaching on the passages we read. So, we came to Ecclesiastes this morning and in searching for messages came upon yours. We were blessed by the truth brought forth in your sermon

    Jesus said there WILL be trials and tribulations, so Dr. Baucham is spot on. Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon via the Holy Spirit just like every Book from Genesis to Revelation. Solomon wrote this Book and Proverbs while living under the Law, but the law/commands/ decrees of God were written by Moses. The Law that Jesus fulfilled for us because we are too sinful, rebellious and weak. Give God all the glory!

    Ive been reading Ecclesiastes in the morning with my daughter and then last night during dinner I turned on UA-cam to find a video. This was my top recommendation when we opened the app on our tv and I’m so glad we watched this! I’m rewatching it again today.
    God bless you Pastor!

    Ecclesiastes is my favorite book. 1:9 is my favorite verse “…there is nothing new under the sun.” Such a comfort to know everything we face today is nothing new. Those who fear the Lord and are wise to look to the past and are comforted.

After reading it I said I'm going to have to do some studying on this, then God had me come across this video. I so appreciate this man of God's teachings.

    Ecclesiastes is so underrated! We don't want to hear the whole truth of how everything we're pursuing doesn't matter as we think. We instead cherry pick and fo straight to Ecclesiastes 3:1 to try consoling ourselves in difficult times. Thank you Dr Voddie. Much love from Uganda

  • @c.o.g2961

    POINTS I MADE THROUGHOUT:
    “Stop looking for hidden sins every time something goes wrong” (there may be one but stop looking for curses) - learn to think biblically!
    God intends for us to seek wisdom and knowledge.
    Solomon was wise and knowledgeable because he was RELENTLESS (devoted his heart) to studying everything!
    Wisdom and knowledge have their limits, he has tried but failed. No one can be fulfilled by wisdom and knowledge alone.
    “We cannot solve every problem” (vs.13)
    “You will never be wise enough or have enough knowledge to defeat death” (Matthew 8)
    Knowledge is insufficient without the knowledge of God
    There is wisdom that is wicked…
    “All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden IN Christ”
    37:49 powerful questions and deep stuff‼️
    “Are you pursuing wisdom so that you could get stuff or so that you could know God?”

    Great sermon, Thank you Lord for
    your saints to preach truth in these
    last days. I love it when he said,
    "the more we learn, the more we
    don't know."
    WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE IS
    DEFINITELY LIMITED!
    SOLOMON SAID IT, "FEAR THE LORD
    AND HIS COMMANDMENT, FOR THIS
    IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN" (Ecc. 12:13).

    I fell in love with Ecclesiastes exactly for the reason pastor Voddie says most do not like it. It hit me earlier this year as I did my morning devotional and I realized that a while hearted pursuit of wisdom was the source of Solomon’s wisdom. Not a natural endowment. I saw clearly that Solomon pursued pleasure and gained wisdom in that pursuit. I saw the beauty in gaining experience and pursuing life in full, with the understanding that we will be brought into judgment for our errors in the pursuit (Ecclesiastes 11:9)

  • @leonardwilliams7772
    @leonardwilliams7772 8 місяців тому +4

    When first saved, i was told that Ecclesiastes, was considered the most difficult book to understand. I was told the same thing about reading mere christianity. I found both, to be clear, sensible, and quite easy to get. Im 62, i can use the phones to call, and get on a web site, beyond that, i do NOT, wish to know these things. When introduced in 2007, i said emphatically, that these things mean big trouble. I naturally go to paper maps. See, tech, is like a man, running down a hill. I can PROMISE, IF HE IS NOT CAREFUL, AND RUNS TOO FAST, HE WILL FACE PLANT, HEAD OVER TEA KETTLE, HARD. Same with tech. Tech is knowledge, but not wisdom.wisdom, can only be good. Knowledge can be good, or evil, equally. Bad knowledge teaches us, in a different direction.

    Was taught both, Wisdom as Law, seeking Earthly knowledge....yeah I was miserable for a loooong time. Did Evil with it too. Praise be to Jesus that he continues to work me (even breaking me down into painful situations) so as to better me for God's Glory. Want Knowledge? Peace? All the good things we strive after day after day after day? Drop what you know (or think you know) at his feet, at the Cross, accept Jesus into your life (EVERY ASPECT) and he will do in you amazing things you could never have dreamed of!!! HALLELUJAH AND AMEN 🙏 🙌
