ECLESIASTES 7:1

In this chapter we discover the summation of the Teacher's search of wisdom. There is a hidden gem within these verses that help us learn our place in our relationship with God. We can also learn how to rightly look at the truth of who we are as men and women that might help us relate to our friends and neighbors who don't yet know God.

Though the book of Ecclesiastes was written long ago, the author’s message couldn’t be more relevant. His ancient voice of despair is echoed by countless intellectual and cultural elites in our era. Yet into this darkness, the beauty of truth shines. In this five-day study, you will learn that while life “under the sun” is meaningless, life under God is truly and deeply meaningful.

We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear. But then there is Jesus, the man who defeated the grave. Jesus stood toe to toe with the grave and defeated death. When Jesus talks, the grave speaks.

Most people enter retirement dreaming of freedom and more time — yet few talk honestly about how it will all end. This 6-day reading plan helps you face death with courage and faith, whether it comes slowly, suddenly, or unexpectedly. With Scripture, real stories, and practical reflection, you’ll learn to prepare wisely, talk openly with loved ones, and live each remaining day with peace and purpose.
