sermon for this series untitled Honiton.
I pressed into subpoena seem non liberal or your book of
Ecclesiastes and what is that? The title is that life under the
sun is futile or futile. It is pointless and it is full
of frustration in the Pong Buhai no Miranda ID to say Ilalim
arrow negative woman at a parasite topic.
Nothing in morning. Better let me assure you that
the aim of studying this book is not to depress us, it is not to
discourage us, but rather this book of Ecclesiastes is
actually, it's not a depressing book, Deena.
And then it is not that depressing book, but rather it
is a realistic one. It shows the reality, or it
speaks of the reality of what life really is about.
It speaks about the reality of life and death, and it speaks
about the life that has joy, but also it speaks about the life
that has sorrow. Capricorn Papansin 19 sabuhi in
America Madalas bought a maybe this time of restraints to

life. Murillo Union dahilan come back

We don't have a realistic life or we don't have a realistic
view of life, but rather we have an ideal perception or idyllic
perception of what life is. It because I've been Bahama
shadow perfect human perception at and I know, but shadow tying
London's Sobrang positive in the perception of what life is.
And that's the reason why we get so easily frustrated.

life. For example, Alana posa

I'm adding three points. Poeto.
First point is life under the sun is frustrating.
That's the first point. Palopo.
Life under the sun is more frustrating than we actually
realise. That's the second point.
And last, the source of life's frustration is nothing but sin.
So those are our three points. And before we proceed, let's go
ahead and go before the Lord in prayer.

truth that we are about to hear is something that is hard.
And may you teach us to find comfort in you.
May you guide us all or then may you help us understand the
meaning of life so that we should be guarded by the
deceptions of this world, so that we could have a greater
peace in the midst of trials and so that we could learn to trust
you more in this life. We look forward for your word
and this we pray in Jesus name, Amen.
So first point, poke.
The life under the sun is frustrating.
Sabrosa, verse one to three. The word of God says the words
of the preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
Vanity of vanities, says the preacher.
Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.

That all is meaningless. Damaging perception is well,
what profit is there in working so hard in this life?
No one and not even one would want to hear that.
But as we go back to the scriptures, my friends Singapore
Boy and the big guy in and verdict Naito Satin, Sinophobia
and Nagsabe. Such scripture that all is
vanity and that is the preacher in Pogbas and Athens of verse
one young the preacher Putitos Hebrews and epic Sabine Punon is
he is the coherent coherent boyum Hebrew meaning or Hebrew
word no salitang preacher in English Bible it means that it
means the one who gathers A congregation to speak to them.
Capital preacher at konsa Greek naman tayo pupunta.
Greek and Greek translation point on kohelet is Ecclesiastes
in Greek meaning and salitang ito canasa Greeks a Greek word.
Church is ecclesia because it is being called out or the calling
of people, the calling of congregation to gather together,
Capucha ecclesia sagrika or sagaloo iglesia.
So you've been in church. So the speaker, the preacher of
that gathering, of that ecclesia is what you call the
Ecclesiastes inpong ibigsabihin salitang Ecclesiastes the
preacher. When the question is based on
what the preacher says, can we trust this verdict?
Can we trust the conclusion that was given by the preacher?
Here they are contaminating mabuti as we are to be honest
with what we have read. Deepanam sobrang negative naman
para sa first chapter in liberal MiTo native Namang.
Conclusion Abu Hai and the answer to the question if can we
trust this verdict is still always yes, we could trust the
verdict because we trust the preacher who wrote the
scriptures in the book of Ecclesiastes and this preacher
calls himself the son of David. He calls himself the king of
Jerusalem. Now while a lot of kings are all
the kings of Jerusalem were considered sons or descendants
of David. It could only be Solomon or it
could only be King Solomon who wrote this book, this book of
Ecclesiastes when Pomembna scholars then exercising
Maryhill by possibility in a Hindi seeking Solomon an

different views about it. I think discussions about this
topic. So I encourage you, if you want,
you could study as well. It all the more so that we could
help one another and encourage one another to understand it
more. But I have chosen to remain with
the traditional view of understanding and claim that
this is King Solomon who wrote it because it is more
consistent, it is more defensible, and it is more
suitable for faithful exposition for us to acknowledge that it is
King Solomon who wrote this when back at King Solomon and
normally writings in Hindi. So sad piece of verse 16, I said
in my heart I have acquired great wisdom surpassing all who
were over Jerusalem before me, and my heart has had great
experience of wisdom and knowledge.
That's what we have read in verse 16 and we know that it is
King Solomon who fits perfectly on that aspect.
No other king was wiser than he. Even in First Kings chapter 4 it
says that God gave Solomon wisdom, great understanding and
knowledge as vast as the sand on the seashore.
In pain Makita natin detonate Indian dog.
Now I think dusky Solomon, and that's why it can only be
Solomon who wrote this book Accounting.
And then you have yeah, man, the Miranshah.
We could say that it did indeed gave him the time and the
capacity to investigate a lot of things in this life.
In verse 13, it says that he gave his heart to investigate
with that wisdom all the things that were done under heaven,
when in verse 14 it says that he had seen all the works that are
done under the sand sun. And that is a bold claim.

And as we go back in Nopo and verdict making Solomon, what is
the verdict and what is the conclusion of the preacher as
what we have read here on conclusion and Latin ito is
this. He says that all is vanity.
After assessing and studying and understanding everything, his
ultimate conclusion is that everything is vain.
It's a messy and frustrating world.

what is really happening in this life.
Excessive bilang tone and tone. That is why life is frustrating.
First to it says vanities of vanities as the preacher.
Vanity of vanities. All is vanity and as we continue
to study the word, when we talk about the word vanity in Word
point of vanity is the Hebrew word Havel.
Examining vanity is a Hebrew at comma.
Still, it is similar me adina Chinese AIBA Singapore ever see
Abel and it literally means breath.
Young Havel, Young Satan gallopo parang single Lang laughing
along parang single or isang hanging bigland domain, but
figuratively. Here it is translated as vanity
Vanity dial. It doesn't last.
It's unsafe and then and this word can be translated as
senselessness, messiness, wackiness, frustration,
emptiness, absurdity, futility, and elusiveness.
Informal translations or meaning of meditative mahita or my
interprets a word. Nervanix City and some soul
scholars suggest that his name Pangalan Puni Abel, the meaning
breath or vapour reflects the temporal nature of his life
because we know the story that he was killed young.
He has this life of hope but it is very short lived because he
was killed by his brother Cayenne and that can be
frustrating. It is indeed frustrating.

example of a frustrating life. We could always desire to do
something. We could always expect something
in in this life. But still, within this life that
we have, there are frustrating moments now beyond our control.
Life. Is evil.
It is frustrating and many as we go here, the scriptures, many
cannot take the disappointments of life.
As we continuously. See this life, as frustrating as
it is, many can't take it. Sambisa verse 8.
All things are full of weariness.

Even Solomon describes in the latter chapters of this about
eating, about drinking, about making merry.
He talks about studying, working and having kids.
He talks about joy and life, but he also talks about the sadness
of life. He talks about life and death.
And life is indeed full of good things, but the problem is in
the midst of all this good things of life.
It is always. Mixed with the bad things of
life that frustrates us, that disappoints us.

And these things. Can happen in this life, not

Challenges, frustrations, conflicts acting up.

Well, in solution even. Up to now and even a boring
life. It happens differently.
To different people and there's no such thing as an ideal life.
And we ask why Packet NABA? Why does God give?

na sycle nang buhay na meron tayo baghat naba Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes one and it is all because of Genesis 3.
It is all because of sin. So because of sin, that's why we
have thorns and thistles, we have great pains and
relationship problems. And again, why?
We could always ask why? Why did God allow these things
to happen? And I hope and feel that you get
frustrated because this would solve the issue in this life.
I hope that we realise how frustrating life is so that we
would be able to understand why it is frustrating.
And that the answer is. This it is frustrating so that
we will turn to God. It is hard.
Because it is meant so that we would turn to Christ.
Life under the sun will. Always be frustrating, and only
by the Gospel we can endure it. Let us not focus.
On the the ideal perception of life, but rather understand the
reality of life and the lens of the gospel of God.
God. What God?
Has been no man can straighten. I think the acting just no
problem as Abu Hai Neto, but only time in Salita nang buhay
na meron tayo nyan on this side of eternity will always have
problems. Even Christ himself said I came
to bring a sword and not peace. He said follow me and suffer the
pain of the cross. Indiana think I and Tasman and
Gallon and Buena meron tayo acknowledged that when we must
acknowledge it and we learn to live contentedly with the
messiness of this life. Why and how?
By going to Christ, By following him and nothing else and no one
else. Solomon already asked.
What do you get from all the labour under the sun?
And he answered nothing. Well, I know someone don't want
to, you know, Lamang. So what did Jesus says?
He said come after me. He said that whoever it is that
desires to come after me, he must deny himself.
He must take up. His cross and follow him and it
makes sense if he would understand his life.
It makes sense why. Self denial is important in
following Him because there's nothing that we could gain in
this world apart from Christ. Christ said Come unto me, all ye
that labour and our and our heaven laden, and I will give
you rest. It all points out to Christ, it
all points us to Him. It leads us all to Christ.
Select and frustrations. Number appetite, We deserve it.
Because of our sin. Selection problem in America and
we deserve it because of our sin.
And actually we don't just deserve this frustrations, we
deserve worse than this because of our sin.
Yet Christ suffered in this world.
Experiences, experience the challenges and frustrations and
the hardships of this world, even if he doesn't deserve
anyone of anything of it. That's why baby continue to.
Remind ourselves, in the midst of all these things, of the
gospel of God, the only hope that we could have in this
world. We always be reminded.
That being Christian does not rescue you from the life of
frustration, but it teaches us how to carry our cross.
It teaches us self denial. And that's the important point
of this message. That is why it is necessary to
go through life's challenges. We receive his hand from him,
things that are good and he still allows things that are bad
in our lives. And the reason why we can do
that is because we are yearning for a better life, taught here
but in heaven. Can I put as we?
End. I want you to think of.
This this way romance ate tells us that whatever we are
suffering right now. It is nothing.
May you take it as that Iglesias this one?
Is saying everything in this life is nothing.
It is vanity now in Romans 1, specifically sinasabi na din
dito, that everything that we are suffering right now is
nothing compared to the glory that we have in heaven.
That's the answer. And my friend Cindy Lam.
Putao, but all creation is waiting for that day.
Everything was cursed, subject to vanity and frustration.
But one day it will not be anymore.
So until that day, as what we have prayed earlier, my we've
continued to find faith and to have faith in Him.
Campfires are. Encouragement May we, may I read
to you Romans 8, and may you could read it with me, Romans
818 to 25. Romans 818 to. 25 Four.
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not
worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing
of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected
to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected
them and hoped that the creation itself will be set free from its
bondage. Corruption and obtain the
freedom of the glory of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation has been groaning
together in the pains of childbirth.
And then, now, and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who
have the first fruits of the Spirit, grown inwardly as we
wait eagerly for the adoptions as sons, the redemptions of our
bodies. For in this hope we are saved.
Now hope that is sin is not hope.
For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do
not see, we wait for it with patience.
And that's Paul's message to the church from that's also the
message of the Ecclesiastes. That's the message of the
preacher about this life. But in the midst of everything
and in the midst of all the challenges that we have, in the
midst of all frustrations, may we continue to remind ourselves
of what's our only comfort and life waters are comfort in this
life and death. And that is only Christ, His
life, his death, his resurrection, and his second
coming. Amen.
Let us all pray.
But, you know, I mean Josh. Muhammad porn salamat Sultan

And it was a challenge. Tommy Nowhere poorly among

other people or we can't find hope.
So animal bag, I did someone but rather maybe continuously desire
to find that hope in new as we wait for your coming and as we
wait, all Lord may continue to help us endure.
May you guide us with your wisdom.
May you continue to lead us and direct us in this life and maybe
continue to live in such humility and contentment knowing
that you are in control and knowing that all these things
would work on for the good of those who love you and are
called according to their purpose.
We thank you and love you. OHH God and this we pray in
Jesus name, Amen.
