Listen "The Futility of Life"
Episode Synopsis
In the first sermon of Pastor Snook's series "Living Life Backward", we're challenged to confront life's ultimate questions, guided by the wisdom in the Book of Ecclesiastes.Solomon, despite his unparalleled wisdom and wealth, concludes that life 'under the sun' is ultimately meaningless. This sobering realization invites us to look beyond earthly pursuits for true fulfillment. The repeated phrase 'vanity of vanities' echoes through the message, reminding us that chasing after worldly success, pleasure, or fame will leave us empty. Instead, we're encouraged to build our lives on the eternal foundation of God's love and purpose. This message urges us to examine our own lives: Are we living for temporary satisfactions or eternal significance? By 'living life backward' - considering our mortality and working backwards - we can prioritize what truly matters and find the deep, lasting contentment that eludes even the wisest and wealthiest among us.
