A Study in Ecclesiastes
Chasing the Wind
Play the Full Series
Trapped in a dark world without a clear a view of God, the writer of Ecclesiastes sought frantically for some light on the path—but indulging in everything this world had to offer left him empty and unfulfilled. After climbing high on life’s ladder, he made the tragic discovery that it was propped against the wrong wall. Cynical about life’s achievements, he began to question—rightly—whether anything mattered or whether everything was only vanity.
In this series, Alistair Begg guides us through this challenging and relevant Old Testament meditation on life’s apparent futility and the only true hope that can give our existence lasting meaning. When so many pass their days running down dead-end streets, we can live with purpose. First, though, we must discover what it means to fear God, which is the beginning of true wisdom.
