Ecclesiastes is frequently described as pessimistic, but after these 5 days, you’ll see it as one of the most encouraging books of the Bible. Solomon basically takes the filter off the world, exposing its relentless cycle of empty promises, compared to the eternal hope God freely gives us.

The kids are melting down, life keeps throwing curveballs, and you are simply overwhelmed. When family life is harder to cope with, God offers strength, compassion, and tender mercy.

People try to find joy in many different areas of life; relationships, work, money, etc. However, to find true and lasting joy you need something else: a living relationship with Jesus Christ! Join us for one week to see what the Bible says about finding deep joy in God.

“Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life, the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be alright, and the determined choice to praise God in every situation.” (Rick Warren) As you read these devotions, may you be encouraged that even if things in your life aren’t lining up as you’d like, you can still experience true Joy!

So many of us are living frustrated, anxious, and overwhelmed. But we don't have to stay this way. New habits can be formed. Fresh hope can be found. Joy is truly right around the corner. But how do we get there? The spiritual practice of gratitude is often the missing key to unlock the hope, joy, and beauty around us.

God created us to find meaning in our lives. But we live in a broken world where we’re continually frustrated in our search. So, what’s the point of living life? This is the question the Teacher in Ecclesiastes is asking. At first, the message of this wisdom book seems to lead to despair, but in fact points to the hope of life found in God alone.

Written by an elderly King Solomon, Ecclesiastes reflects on a life of meaningless pursuits. Solomon writes that the world's pursuits, from wealth to self-indulgence, are vain and unfulfilling. Ecclesiastes determines that God and his presence make life fulfilling, and true wisdom is to fear God and keep his commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
