The Case Against Self-Sufficiency (Part 1 of 2)

In our sinful condition, we’re inclined to ignore our mortality. We’d rather pursue the passing pleasures of life than face the realities of eternity. Solomon shattered our naïve and short-sighted thinking in his book of Ecclesiastes. And we’ll talk about his findings on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg!

Chasing The Wind

Trapped in a dark world without God, the writer of Ecclesiastes searches frantically for some light on the path. Indulging in everything this world has to offer leaves him empty and unfulfilled. After climbing high on the ladder of life, he makes the tragic discovery that it was propped against the wrong wall. Growing cynical about life’s achievements, he begins to question the rationale behind everything. These studies touch the pulse of a generation caught between material prosperity and spiritual poverty. Alistair Begg helps us make sense of this relevant book, so that we can live life with purpose and meaning. In order to do this, we must first discover what it means to fear God, which is the beginning of true wisdom.
