Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9 Preached by Lucas Parks June 9, 2024 The passage from Ecclesiastes exposes the futility and emptiness of an obsession with money and wealth. We learn that an insatiable appetite for riches can never be satisfied, no matter how much we accumulate. The author uses vivid imagery, like chasing after the wind, to illustrate the vanity of placing our trust in material possessions. Ultimately, our wealth cannot shield us from life's sorrows or guarantee enjoyment. The message challenges us to examine our own hearts and ask whether we have fallen prey to the allure of affluence.
