Finding Purpose in Our Season of Life

Rand Wall will lead us through Ecclesiastes 1:12–2:11 in a lesson titled “The Great Experiment in Pleasure,” exploring Solomon’s honest search for meaning. This study invites us to reflect on our own achievements as we listen closely for God’s enduring answers in this season of life.
The Peace of Seeing the Full Landscape
An Overview of Ecclesiastes
This past Sunday, Bill Wright helped our class step back and take in the full landscape of Ecclesiastes—a book that speaks honestly to the questions many believers quietly carry. Rather than rushing us toward quick answers, Bill reminded us that Ecclesiastes gives voice to the realities of life as it is lived “under the sun,” where effort, success, pleasure, and wisdom can still feel incomplete when separated from God.
Bill framed Ecclesiastes as a gracious gift, especially for a season of life rich with experience. The book does not dismiss faith; instead, it deepens it by acknowledging the tension between what we hope life will deliver and what it often does. In doing so, Ecclesiastes normalizes questions about purpose, fairness, and meaning—not as signs of weak faith, but as invitations to deeper trust.
In a gift of timing, this overview came after we had already begun exploring the opening themes of the book. Seeing the whole structure allowed those early passages to settle more firmly into place, revealing how Solomon’s search ultimately points us beyond temporary satisfaction toward reverence, humility, and a God-centered life.
Bill reminded us that at the heart of Ecclesiastes is a simple but profound truth: God has placed eternity in our hearts. When life’s pursuits fall short, they are not failures—they are signposts, gently redirecting us to what truly lasts.
Reshaping Our Perspective Through Kingdom Math
Pastor’s message, “Kingdom Come: God’s Math,” calls us to view our lives through a lens of surrender rather than accumulation. This perspective transforms how we measure gain and loss as we seek to align our hearts with God’s Kingdom.
Multiplying Joy Through Stewardship
This week’s opening class devotional focus on Chapter 2 of The Treasure Principle invites us to examine the “pronouns of the heart” by moving from mine to His. By releasing ownership and embracing stewardship, we discover that true joy begins to multiply.
