Surprised by Joy

July 12, 2020 Speaker: John Ferguson Series: Ecclesiastes

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:12–26

Graphic - Surprised by Joy.001In this study, we look at the black hole the Sage of Ecclesiastes discovers as he comes to the end of his rope as he sees that everything done under the sun is grievous to him. 

But at the end of his rope, he is surprised by joy. 

In the midst of everything seeming to be fleeting in this life, he discovers joy as the gift of God to be enjoyed. 

In other words, he discovered that enjoying this fleeting life is not something we achieve, but something we receive from the hand of God.
