GO DEEPER Study and Reflection Questions 5/15
Got questions? Some 2,000 years ago King Solomon recorded plenty of questions in an Old Testament book titled Ecclesiastes, which literally means, "One who speaks publicly in a congregation or gathering." We kick off this new Spring/Summer series that will allow us to tackle some tough questions about life, living and the "vanity" we see, feel, and experience all too often.
