Ecclesiastes – Times and Seasons Under and Above the Sun

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1
 
This Sunday marks the last Sunday of 2024, providing us with a great opportunity to evaluate, reflect, and learn from the year that is coming to an end. For some, 2024 has been a wonderful year that will be missed, while for others, it has been a challenging year, and they hope for a better upcoming year. Ultimately, what matters more than our personal experiences is what the Bible teaches us about our times, both past and future.

I invite you to join me this Sunday as we delve into chapter three of Ecclesiastes. Let’s take the time to reflect on what happened under the sun and above the sun throughout 2024, and let’s also learn and hope for a blessed 2025.

“Time is the measure of motion according to before and after, and yet it is a mystery. We live in it, but we long for eternity. Ecclesiastes reminds us that God has set eternity in the human heart (Ecclesiastes 3:11), and this tension between time and eternity shapes our lives and longings.” Augustine of Hippo

Your prayers are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to seeing you there.
