In this opening message through the book of Ecclesiastes, Pastor explores why Solomon—the wisest and wealthiest man who ever lived—declared that all of life is vanity apart from God. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 1:1-3, the sermon establishes that Solomon writes as both preacher and king, offering an honest reckoning with a season of his life spent pursuing worldly fulfillment. The central claim of the book, and of this message, is that life is utterly meaningless without God, and that the only path to true satisfaction is to fear God and keep his commandments.
