Where do you look for meaning and happiness when so much of what we stake our lives on turns out to be as fleeting as the wind? The Teacher of Ecclesiastes runs a series of life experiments on our behalf, testing knowledge, pleasure, great achievements, wisdom and work, and each time reaches the same verdict (Ecclesiastes 1-2). This sermon shows why the absence of an answer is itself an answer, and what changes when God becomes the centre and an ordinary meal, a job or a sunny day turns into a gift. Listen and consider which questions are worth asking of your own life.
Life Experiments
Try Being Wise
How can we be wise and not lose our way in our complex world? Where can we find the meaning of life? How should we make life decisions? In search of answers to these questions, we decided to turn to the biblical wisdom literature-namely, the Books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job. These books offer us three different perspectives on wisdom that are highly relevant today. Thanks to them, anyone can become wiser.
