Episode Synopsis

As we start our series in Ecclesiastes, we look into the timeless question: 'What's the point?' The book's author, believed to be King Solomon, challenges us to confront the seeming meaninglessness of life 'under the sun.' Through his eyes, we see that wealth, pleasure, and even wisdom ultimately fail to satisfy our deepest longings. This message urges us to look beyond the material world to find true purpose. The repeated phrase 'under the sun' becomes a powerful metaphor for life without God, highlighting our need for something—or Someone—beyond our earthly existence. As we grapple with Solomon's stark observations, we're invited to consider how our own pursuits might be falling short, and to seek a higher purpose that can only be found in relationship with God. This timeless wisdom challenges us to reevaluate our priorities and find meaning that transcends the cyclical nature of earthly life.
