Ecclesiastes: The Meaningless and Mundane of Life

5 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This five-week Ecclesiastes sermon series explores the key themes of the Old Testament book, delivering a researched series guide that includes five messages on Biblical Christian living.

When life feels meaningless, when work loses all sense of significance, and when we search for worth in our toil and pleasures, the book of Ecclesiastes reminds us that these longings are intended to draw us closer to God.

Life without God is meaningless, but Jesus’s work on the cross gives us hope for the future and a purpose for work on this earth right now.

This sermon series on Ecclesiastes includes five specific messages on human effort, our daily work, eternal hope, death and life, and the meaning Christ offers each of these areas of our lives.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 5 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
