ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Life unfolds in seasons. There are times of joy and sorrow, gain and loss, laughter and tears. Yet while we long to control our lives and understand God's timing, much of life remains beyond our grasp. In Ecclesiastes 3:1-15, the Preacher reminds us that every season has its place under God's sovereign hand. Though we cannot always see what God is doing, we can trust that he is working out His good purposes in every moment. This week we'll discover how to receive each season as God's gift, learn what it means to fear and trust him, and find lasting hope in Jesus - the Lord of time, who entered history to redeem us and who will one day make all things new.

The Preacher in Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 tries every pleasure under the sun but finds that nothing satisfies him. We find that pleasures are fleeting, easily one upped and never certain, ultimately always failing to bring lasting satisfaction.
We'll look at what we are therefore to do with the pleasure…
