Contentment: Elusive & Possible (Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9)

Content and peaceful. That's what we'd like in our lives. But there's so much noise and stress in our world-inside and out. Qoheleth admits that, for the most part, our lives are marked by strife and strain. But he also points us to a reality that can lead us to embrace the peace of God that passes all understanding.

We are at the half-way point in Ecclesiastes. Advent starts next week (December 1), so we will be taking a four week break. The messages in December will focus on Matthew 1-2, and the Dreams of Christmas.
