Ecclesiastes
1:1-11
- A
Meaningless
Life
- In this Bible study, we find that, just
because we have money and things, this
doesn't mean we will always be happy, or
remembered.
Ecclesiastes
1:12-18
- Meaningless
Wisdom
- Is King Solomon a negative person?
It would seem so but, in fact, he is
plainly stating the fact that the more we
know, the more we learn about pain and
suffering. In other words, meaningless
wisdom. Use this study to find how to
become wiser.
Ecclesiastes
2:1
- Meaningless
Pleasure
- Having a better car is temporary.
Pursuing God is permanent. These are
paraphrased words of Solomon when he says
pleasure is meaningless.
Ecclesiastes
2:2-6
- What
Does Meaningless Pleasure
Accomplish?
- True joy comes by means of a
relationship with God as explained in this
Old Testament passage. Learn the meaning
of pure joy.
Ecclesiastes
2:7-11
- Chasing
After the
Wind
- What is true happiness? If it has to
do with money or power or lust as it is so
important in today's society, then King
Solomon should have been ecstatic with
joy. Let's study why he wasn't.
Ecclesiastes
2:12-16
- Meaningless
Wisdom and
Folly
- This section for Bible study covers
wisdom, folly and death. The fact that we
are going to die should and does affect
the way that we live. Where will we spend
eternity?
Ecclesiastes
2:18-23
- Meaningless
Work
- In this lesson we learn that working for
money and possessions is meaningless
because, in the end, it will all go to
someone else who may not deserve it. Why
are you working?
Ecclesiastes
2:24-26
- Work
without
Meaning
- Continuing Solomon's outlook and advice
about work without meaning.
Ecclesiastes
3:1-8
- A
Time for
Everything
- Turn, Turn, Turn says the song. Solomon
says there is a time for everything
including happiness and sadness. God has a
plan for us but sometimes we have to go
through the fire again to quench our
thirst for a relationship with Him.
Ecclesiastes
3:9-13
- Personal
Satisfaction from
Work
- The dream job? Gaining personal
satisfaction from work is not far from
what God wants for you. Taking time to
honor Him for giving this blessing is
something we should all do.
Ecclesiastes
3:14
- Purpose
Driven
Life
- In this short study lesson from
Ecclesiastes we find there is only one way
to have a purpose driven life.
Ecclesiastes
3:15-16
- Is
it Gloom and
Doom?
- Plenty of wickedness in this world
but it's not all gloom and doom. God will
bring justice and judgement on both
sides.
Ecclesiastes
3:17-22
- Man
Has No Advantage over the
Animals
- Like the animals of the earth, we
too will die someday, maybe even today so
we should treat life and each day as a
gift from God.
Ecclesiastes
4:1-6
- Oppression
- This one is difficult to write about
but I believe Solomon is saying that,
without a relationship with God, all the
money and possessions in the world won't
make you happy or content.
Ecclesiastes
4:7-12
- You
are not
Alone
- This passage gives a simple idea of
how to overcome loneliness. You will
discover here that you are not really
alone in this world.
Ecclesiastes
4:13-16
- Lifetime
Goals
- Solomon realizes that power and money
are meaningless without wisdom. "Chasing"
these things will only bring emptiness but
seeking God will bring peace.
Ecclesiastes
5:1-3
- How to
Pray
- Solomon teaches not to use too many
words when we pray. Jesus follows up by
giving us "The Lord's Prayer" as a
guide.
Ecclesiastes
5:4-7
- Making
Vows to
God
- Have you ever made a promise in haste
only to find you cannot see it through? I
believe we all have. But, Solomon says to
be careful about keeping vows to God as we
study this lesson from Scripture.
Ecclesiastes
5:8-11
- The
Love of
Riches
- Longing for money and riches and
possessions never ends for many people. If
only they (and I) would realize that only
God can fill the need and desires of the
heart that can never be replaced by
riches. Listen to Solomon as he explains
it.
Ecclesiastes
5:12-20
- How
to Find Satisfaction at
Work
- Take a look at this study lesson
from the Old Testament. It's about
satisfaction at work and you'll be amazed
at how the situations Solomon mentions
apply to today.
Ecclesiastes
6: 1-6 - Satisfaction with
Wealth
- Money and happiness. King Solomon talks
about whether or not being rich will make
you happy. According to him, we will all
end up in the same place, rich or poor.
Ecclesiastes
6:7-10
- Wishful
Thinking
- Solomon tells us that wishful
thinking and hoping will not increase
control over our lives. Only God can do
that.
Ecclesiastes
6:11-12
- Predicting
the
Future
- Do you believe that
Nostradamus
could
predict the future? Can anyone else? Find
out who in this Bible study lesson as told
by Solomon.
Ecclesiastes
7:1-6
- Still
Time for
Change
- Learn why bad things happen to good
people; and Christians. Sometimes we need
sadness in our lives in order to change
it.
Ecclesiastes
7:7
- Money
Talks and Bribes do
Too!
- Taking bribes, accepting payoffs, these
are facts of our country today and many
people deem them as perfectly acceptable.
Money talks has become a cliché but
does that make it the right thing to do?
This Baptist Bible study lesson is about
integrity.
Ecclesiastes
7:8
- Money,
Patience and
Success
- Solomon points out that patience is
better than living a prideful life and
true success comes from God instead of
money and things.
Ecclesiastes
7:9-14
- Best
of Times - Worst of
Times
