- THE DIVINE DISCONNECT
(AN EXPLORATION OF THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES)
-----
The hardest thing in life is to live well. We need a guide who will help us understand why so much of existence is marked by weariness and frustration. The power of Ecclesiastes is that we are taken by the hand into life under the sun so that we might understand the dangers of seeking meaning and fulfillment without the one who created us. This book offers no cheap answers but confronts the harsh realities of life head-on? Why? To show us that what gives our life meaning is connection to our God.

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
I love this....

I can’t even begin to explain how much this has blessed me. The clarity is immaculate. Thank you so much.
I know that Tim Mackie isn't the guy who is behind this channel, but whoever you are, I am really thankful that you have compiled Pastor Tim's teachings. The Lord has used them pretty powerfully in my life.
Same here, I find his perspectives from the Hebrew Bible, to show Christians EXACTLY WHY they are Christians.
yeah it changed my life
Why do you say that Tim Mackie isn't the guy who is behind this channel?
Reading Ecclesiastes makes your Depression biblical 😅- All jokes aside, Thank you for this, Dr. Tim. May God Bless you more and your Ministry
Yesss. The validation of Ecclesiastes makes it all a little easier to deal with.
My thought at the beginning, regarding religious fulfillment and that God will make my life better: It's not my life in the first place.
We die to self, when we live for Jesus, which includes taking on suffering, persecution, putting our own wants and needs aside to glorify Jesus, so that others can see the light through us. We should be saying, here I am Lord, your servant is listening. What can I do today to glorify you, Lord Jesus? I pray this video humbles us, we recognize how unforgiving we have been to others and so prideful to think that we even have a choice in the matter, not to forgive those that wrong us and that we have an option, not to obey. We don't have an option not to follow what Jesus commands of us. I pray we start to give each other abundance of grace and to always abound in love in all we do and speak. Pierce our heart Lord to humble ourselves at your feet and in all we do we first seek the kingdom and be obedient to obey your ways, repenting for thinking we are above you. We love because you first loved us, and we know that your Love never fails! God is Love! In Jesus name, Amen.
I appreciate this brother so much. I love his repeated, "Do you see that there? Do u see that in our text? Do you see it?" I love he he helps people see the bible for themselves. He teaches in such a way that implicitly and explicitly encourages biblical literacy. Love it
This book brought me to God. Take it as literal as you can. It is the reality of man from birth to death. Only Jesus reality change puts us into the promise.
These Sermons and teachings are so informative and just flat out amazing to listen to! ❤️
Love me some Ecclesiastes, it's like a hard reboot, or a strong coffee in the mourning of life
One of the teachers that were told to me when you see the word meaningless that means without God
Breath of fresh air
Ecclesiastes, in my opinion, is a really effective book to speak into this generation of people who have bought into the post modern ethos. Not everything in post modernism is negative as it is a corrective to modernism.
Really helped me as someone brought up aethiest, like it swooped down to my level, I think because it didn't come with all the "baggage" of rituals and ancient tribes and lineages and stuff
I was thinking the same
this bible study about the book of ecclesiastes really opened my eyes and felt like a slap to my face
" ... God enters the Hevel and grabs life ... to HIS OWN" ...
The myth of religious fulfillment is also known as the prosperity gospel (specific) or the theology of glory (general) for those looking to do even more research on the topic.
Such a good book.
Tim Mackie,
I have loved the book of Ecclesiastes for years because it offered me the true meaning of life and the whole duty of man.
However, I didn't know the meanings of vanity (hevel) or the fact that the writer was anonymous.
You have given me more reasons to love this book. I appreciate the visual examples using the pipe. Thank you and your ministry.
Sooo goood!!! This Word is still blessing ppl Pastor Mackie!
Thank you for accepting the enormous call placed on your life and battling the the immense fear that no doubt came with it!
What a wonderful video. Thank you.
this message has helped to save my life
Thanking God for the gift He's given you to break this book down so well! Having a natural inclination to be a pessimist or a realist myself, I often struggle with the sense that everything is "meaningless". I loved how you ended the message! Thank you so much!
Brilliantly and wonderfully explained. Sharing!
What a beautiful lesson!
I've always wondered, why do bad things happen to good people so often.
It's one of those things, even the bible has a hard time explaining.
All things happen for a reason, except for the times they don't...
This is hitting me both ways. This will be good to listen to. Thank you.
Who else is watching this in 2023 😁💜✨
me lollll
Wonderful!
Thank you Tim for uploading this. I remember this day so well.
This man is a modern day saint
There are still saints being canonized today 😅
Thank you for uveiling the heart of Ecclesiastes in such a simplistic, down to earth manner. Elohim has gifted you to teach! I enjoy listening & learning what you convey so beautifully.
Awesome.
Hevel....
Life helped me figure it out ....when you are young and naive, life's been pretty good to you, you take it for granted that you are more than an ant...but as the Bible says,
"fear YHWH do His will, because this is the whole duty of man."
Great explanation! Thank you.
A brilliant explanation of the falsehood and danger of the prosperity "gospel" at 48:30.
Thank you for your work of assembling all Tim Mackie's sermons in one place 💞🎁
Amen and Amen!

This is the life. I’m glad there’s soo much I have to learn. A bit sad today. You know I had a lot experiences with The Lord. Things that one day I’ll tell. I know what I’m claiming and it’s intelligent design.
thankyou Teacher.
It is time for believers worldwide to WAKE UP, get serious about reading the WORD, obeying what we read and STOP putting our trust in man!
Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart turns away from Yahweh"(Jeremiah 17:5)
We have been LIED TO in Churches about the Name above all names. Our Creator has a Name - YAHWEH and He put His Name upon His one and only begotten Son - YAHSHUA.
Be on guard before Him and obey His voice. Do not rebel against Him, for He is not going to pardon your transgression, for My Name is in Him." (Exodus 23:21)
We have been LIED TO about the SABBATHS of Yahweh.
Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to Yahweh, to serve Him, and to love the Name of Yahweh, to be His servants, all who guard the Shabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My Covenant - them I shall bring to My qodesh mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer." (Isaiah 56:6-7)
We Have been LIED TO about the COMMANDS of Yahweh.
And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His Commands. The one who says, 'I know Him,' and does not guard His Commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. (1 John 2:3-5)
It is time to PRAY for an opening of BLINDED EYES to understand His loving Covenant to ISRAEL, who we MUST be GRAFTED IN TO to become the children of Yah! It's time to shelve our learning inherited from "the whore" and become as little children to allow the Spirit of Yah to re-instruct us in the TRUTH!
Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become as little children, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the shamayim." (Matthew 18:3)
It's time to CLEAN UP our act and to cease wallowing in the abominations and lusts of the world!
Come out from among them and be separate, says יהוה, and do not touch what is unclean, and I shall receive you." (2 Corinthians 6:17)
A total enslavement is coming very very soon. You want Truth with Scripture go to 2besaved dot com.
You are amazing! Unbelievably remarkable teacher. You are truly blessed
anyone else notices how he dresses in accordance with the message he brings?
Yep, it's all Hevel. I noticed
Pastor Tim, Pray for our son, I shared the message of Ecclesiastes...Thanks.
Hevel, heavy like gravity, like the gravitational pull of the sun that will swallow and vaporize us all, eventually, Hebrew is brilliant 😊.
Wonderful
This is fantastic! Speaking directly to the human condition! Tim Mackie what is your divine process? May God continue to speak life!
Great job
Thank you for helping the audience go through the job of being a careful reader.
Taking notice of what’s there, what’s not, and learning to ask ourselves questions.
Now, smoking a pipe…that must have taken plenty of people of Protestant faith back (self included). I’m sure there were other ways to bring that point across. 😉
This is good
Service God and nothing will be in vain.
I think its awesome you use imagery like smoking a pipe to explain the jewish narrative. I wish our churches could look like ancient israel as well with the incense and the walls with pictures of fruit trees and cherubim like the garden. It sounds very relaxing
superb
It's like raeeeeeeaaaaiin on your wedding day it's a freeee riiiiiiiiide when you've spray paid.
Isn't it hevel. Don't you think?

Thank you. Your points, also at the end, are so good. So glad i found ...was directed to your videos by a Pastor way north in Mill Creek, WA! Incredibly encouraging both your teaching and the many people who are following your channels and interacting. It seemed to me that no one actually read or loved The Word any more, not even pastors. In my whole life i have not found one person who does and no one to enjoy it with. It hurt. That hurt is gone, but i would love to yet find a Study Buddy. Do you think we sill continue to study in Heaven?
''Ecclesiastes is essentially a kind of negative theologian ,he is asking questions that can be answered only by a future revelation of God and clearing the road for this revelation he smashes any and all false hopes to pieces. Ecclesiastes is the bible's night before Christmas.Ecclesiastes is humans' self sufficiency stretched to its absolute limit and found sadly wanting..and if that's where Ecclesiastes leaves us that's where the bread and the cup that we take when we come to worship ,the songs,the coming of Christ to us become the Christmas.This can only be good news until we find our own needs and self sufficiency sadly wanting.Its the bad news before the good news."
would you like/need help to make subtitles in spanish? I would love to help! I am from Guatemala, and really enjoy all your videos! I know spanish and english soooo I think I can help you reach and bless even more people!
Mónica Torres have you contacted Tim and Jon to help translate their videos? Thanks so much for offering to do that because there definitely is a great need. May God continue to to Bless you richly!
"Are you with me?"
Hey Y'all! Does anyone know where I can get sermon note on this?
Godspeed everyone,
George.
"Forget it Jake, it's hevel."
I do the God-thing ,or does the God-thing do us?
Jesus says he is the living water and that if you drink him, you will never thirst again. What else does this mean except that you will find fulfillment through him?
And if God will grant neither fulfillment nor a clear idea of what I should do with myself, what good is he?
Well if you are still trying to find yourself, then you haven't found Jesus. How do I know this? I'm not sure of your situation, but I used to be in a similar boat. The question you ask was very identical to mine. Not so much the what is the "good of God," but more "fulfillment of myself" "clear idea of what I should do with myself"
lol. rob bell had to reincarnate because he got old and untrendy. But for real, wonderful message on a book that is often shunned from the pulpit.
You listened to Cassette tapes? I had an 8-Track player in my first car! Lol I was the cool kid! Thanks for all you do for us you young whipper snapper 😇
I had 8 track too lol glad I am not the only golden oldie 😎
@@debbiesteffan5293 lol!
An 8-track with a strategically placed matchbook under it in just the right place!
I thought it is Six-part series. Where are the other three
Hi Tim,you said you were going to do a six week study on Ecclesiastes. However I am only seeing 3 videos.
tim doesn’t control this account
I'm pretty sure that Tim was part of a two pastor team at the church, and the other pastor preached the other three sermons.
I don't recognize a Jesus or God, yet I feel when things emanate good vibes and I recognize dark ones. So maybe God is just a misunderstanding for me. I think if there's a way, everyone is inherently born with it.
In sincerity, what do you mean by saying you don't recognize Jesus? The Gospels were written that we might see, hear, and know Him. Bring eyes to see, and ears to hear.
My comment is that if you use the same argument then even Isaiah s not authored by Isaiah
So you mean that it i not the illiminathi messing my life?
Where can I find Josh's half to get the complete teaching on this series?
Sonal Kuruvilla Awesome! Thank you!
thank you very much!!!
Sonal Kuruvilla thank you soo much
Why are ppl making a huge issue out of the pipe?
Its not negative its a reality my friend
hi cameron
hi boss
I don’t like you but i like you.
I appreciate what you're doing for the ministry brother but I'm not sure if smoking in church, even for an illustration, is the wisest choice
im confused, was tim mackie actually smoking when he was trying to explain what hevel is..........i thought it isnt exactly right to smoke if you saved , im not sure , was this fake smoke someone please explain.
I think his illustration was spot on and God used it to reach my heart. Answer your question... I don't believe he inhaled.
Godspeed,
George.
What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them." - Matthew 15:11
Tim was just using a pipe to demonstrate smoke. Not a big deal; it was just to demonstrate the metaphor of hevel. If using a pipe makes you not a Christian, someone needs to dig up C.S. Lewis and let him know his wonderful books don't matter.
@@loraz5343 you have no idea how negatively that simple example was for me on thag day.
Some people struggle with this addiction, if a teacher wouldnt use this in school, if a boss wouldn't use it to his workers as an example, shouldnt we as a church have a higher standard. We need to be deeper and think deeper as christians , come on.
We not supoose to to destroy the temple of God, we are his temple, its a known fact that smoking causes cancer ect so why would u purposely do it from the poolpit
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, the bible eve. Says it, so if thats in your heart it comes oht
Immagine a child watching that, trying to get saved, if something is going to cause your brother to sin dont do it in public like that especially from the poolpit.
Come on not even during a politcal meeting in congress or will a news reader smoke on screen, yet you want to justify a pastor doing it from a poolpit.
@@chloecherchetty837 I agree Chloe. I love Tim to bits but I wasnt sure about this issue too.
@@loraz5343 Romans 14:15-16 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.
PS: I love and follow Tim's teaching. This "smoke" part needs another look
where is anything new from Mackie?
Bible project podcast
I saw comments regarding about you smoking, for a demonstration I think it’s not sinful, in fact kind of shocking and fine as long as not used recreationally :)
I don't hold that agaisnt him. I still think he's a great teacher. Just wished he could've found a different example on showing smoke.
@@GraViTyAboVe Good point
This is a biblical Ted-talk.
Every Bible with table of content is copyrighted... Crazy how that works.
I don't align or relate with any of his analogies. We are not promised a world without troubles. We learn that the things of the flesh that we covet are meaningless, without lasting value. Our time in this world is temporary, but we don't live for this life but for the next. Eternity in God's Kingdom. If we align our thoughts with God's thoughts while we are in this world, through the Holy Spirit, we find that our desires of the flesh don't matter, we seek the peace and joy that only comes from the Holy Spirit. We have strength to rise above what the sinful world can do to us. God gives us peace in trials and suffering.
Anyway, I think the message is fine but his presentation isn't for me.
Anyway, there are many blessings in the world, when we see it through God's eyes. Life is worth living, especially when we give it all to Our Father!!!
This guy is the JaJar Binks of expositions.
Aint no way dude whips out a pipe and starts puffin mid sermon! Good idea or bad, wow, what a shockingly distracting illustration! Def hit people and got their attention on many levels. Im still personally pondering what to make of it.
Jesus H. Christ, get to the point!!!!!!
Did that dude really light that stupid pipe? What a nasty, disgusting and filthy habit. Some of you Pastors are way too woke!
You have quite the tongue Ben Den
Maybe lay off the pipe and you wont eat so much pizza?
Is it cold there? You have a knit cap on. Also, why do you dress so slovenly? Doesn't an audience deserve you dress up? Not in something you might wear to bed?
Is his choice of clothing more important than the attempted description of a book in the Bible?
Hans Hoerdemann how about not judging him by what he wears but instead by what he says and how he lives for Jesus?! I understand that you are probably used to preachers wearing suits but think about how Jesus , the best teacher/preacher ever, and how he probably dressed.
by saying he needs to be better dressed, you are inferring that he is better, higher or over you, this is not biblical. We are all priests, he is the one speaking now, that's all.
Most likely it's a cultural observation. When I lived in Europe and wore sneakers everywhere it was misunderstood that I was not a serious person. Most people in that culture wore leather shoes. It's whatever you're used to seeing. Being in that culture, I started wearing leather shoes and assimilated into their culture. It was a sign of respect. This is a great lesson by Tim. I don't watch it, I listen to him. To each his own.
This is the most rambling, off-point, ineffectual explanation of Ecclesiates I habe ever heard. Star-Wars reference? really? and then more rambling beating around the bush.
Nice
