Ecclesiastes - The Wisdom of God in a Futile World

The Book of Ecclesiastes is one of the wisdom books in the Bible. It centres around the futility of life and can seem like a strange book to be included in the scriptures, yet it perfectly reflects how many of us feel on a daily basis. The words of the "Preacher" help us to feel less alone in our despair and remind us to focus on God when life seems confusing. It's a book that many people neglect, so I have read it in full.

"The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Ecclesiastes 12:11:12

About the Podcast

Abide In Me
The A.I.M of this podcast is to teach people about who God is and how we can have a relationship with Him.
The A.I.M of this podcast is to help people form an intimate relationship with God and to answer the big life questions:
- What was our origin?
- Where can we find meaning and purpose?
- How do we discern between good and evil, fact and fiction?
- What is our ultimate destination?

Many today are seeking these answers but not finding them. This is often because they are looking in the wrong places. All the guidance, wisdom, provision, love, forgiveness, hope and peace we seek can be found when we abide in our Creator. Before we can abide in Him, we need to know Him and also what He expects from us.

"Abide in Me" was the message Jesus gave to His disciples before He left them. He knew that they would need to be close to Him, by abiding in His Word, if they were to be transformed and in turn transform the world. (John 15)

I hope these podcasts open you up to learning about who Jesus was, what he taught and why we should abide in him.

All the Bible verses I reference each week are listed in the podcast notes to help you discover the beauty and wisdom of the scriptures.
