Love God Greatly: EcclesiastesSample

SOAP – Ecclesiastes 1:1-2; Solomon writes Ecclesiastes in an effort to discover the meaning of life. During his lifetime, Solomon experienced great wealth, great power, expansive knowledge and wisdom, great accomplishments, multiple wives and concubines, and the fleeting joy of pleasure. However, faced with so many distractions, he slowly drifted from God. Moment by moment, day by day, experience by experience, worldly pleasure by worldly pleasure, he discovered that nothing on this earth would brought him satisfaction. Solomon discovered that nothing and no one but God could deliver peace or satisfaction to his empty soul. A life without God is futile. A life without God is emptiness. A life without God is vanity.
