What's The Point? [week 18] // The Bottom Line
In this final week of Ecclesiastes, we're challenged to confront the age-old question: 'What is the meaning of life?' The book of Ecclesiastes serves as our guide, leading us through Solomon's journey of indulgence and ultimate realization. The central message is clear and profound: 'Fear God and keep His commandments.' This isn't just a suggestion; it's our entire duty as human beings. We're reminded that true wisdom isn't just about knowledge, but about application. It's not enough to know what's right; we must act on it, even when it's difficult. The sermon draws a stark contrast between the fear of God and the fear of man, urging us to examine who truly sits on the throne of our hearts. Are we living to please others, or to honor our Creator? This message calls us to live with the continual conviction that God sees and knows all, shaping our actions and decisions accordingly. It's a call to authenticity, integrity, and a life lived in reverent awe of our Maker.
