It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.
Ecclesiastes 7:18
What a beautiful day to serve the Lord! The sun shine just makes our isolation bearable. Today’s epistle focuses on the book of Ecclesiastes. Our Wednesday Night Bible Study has focused on the words of Solomon found in that book for the last several weeks. For this letter I want to direct your attention to the seventh chapter.
I wont make a lot of comment here but will ask that you look at the file I have linked. It is my teaching outline for chapter seven. Read through the chapter and consider my divisions within the chapter. Remember, that the phrase “under the sun” is the secret sauce for everything that Solomon says in Ecclesiastes. Go here to see the outline.
Today instead of music please enjoy a recording of the last sermon I preached at Creek Road Baptist Church.
