Fusion: week of 3/17

FAMILY THEME: LIFE'S CONTRADICTIONS

Ecclesiastes 5:8 - 6:12

While there are countless good things God blesses us

with here, only those things connected to Him and His

purpose will last.

1.  The World Strives for Money and Possessions but

     Finds No Satisfaction

     (Ecclesiastes 5:8-17)

     While money and possessions are not inherently

     bad, they will never satisfy our deepest longings.

 
2.  The Ability to Enjoy the Fruits of Our Labor is a

     Gift from God

     (Ecclesiastes 5:18 - 6:2)

     As Christians, we can enjoy our work and its

     fruit because we know they ultimately come

     from God.

 
3.  Constantly Striving for More is Futile

     (Ecclesiastes 6:3-12)

     Striving without God will always leave us

     wanting more.
