Ecclesiastes: Chasing the Wind
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 worldly achievements, he began to question—rightly—whether anything mattered or everything was only vanity.
Ecclesiastes: Chasing the Wind is a twelve-session verse-by-verse study through the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes with extensive insights from Alistair Begg. Each session includes textual explanations from Alistair and questions for individual reflection or group discussion.
Participants will consider what this challenging and exceptionally relevant Old Testament meditation has to say about life’s apparent futility and will be reminded that there is only one true hope that can give our existence lasting meaning.
Key themes:
• The vanity of life
• The fear of God
• The realities of the fall
• Toil and labor
• And the enjoyment of God’s creation
This study guide is to be used paired with the ESV Scriptural text of the book of Ecclesiastes and is designed for either individual or group study.
