16 May The Search For Meaning (Ecclesiastes 7:25-29)

Main Point:

We Are Searching For Meaning

I. We Lack Wisdom Because We Aren’t Trying To Be Wise

II. The Adventure Of Sin Is Never Satisfying

Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, from the nations of which the Lord had said to the sons of Israel, “You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you; they will certainly turn your heart away to follow their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. He had seven hundred wives, who were princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned his heart away.
1 Kings 11:1-3

III. A Trap Is Only A Trap If You Don’t See It Coming
