Main Point: Navigate politics wisely by respecting authority, fearing God, and enjoying life
If you’ve ever looked at your breath on a cold Iowa morning and thought, “That’s what my day feels like,” you’ll probably feel somewhat at home in the book of Ecclesiastes.
We live in a world that doesn’t always work the way it’s supposed to. Our best efforts don’t always produce the results we expected. Our deepest friendships can fall apart. Our greatest treasures can slip through our hands. We look for security, satisfaction, and meaning in our everyday lives and so often everything comes up short.
Ecclesiastes has a word for this: vapor.
So join us as we work through Ecclesiastes and find God in the vapor
