Ecclesiastes
Finding Purpose in the Paradox of Life
Life is full of paradoxes—beauty and brokenness, joy and sorrow, gain and loss, life and death.
Ecclesiastes confronts these tensions head-on, exposing our inability to control or fully comprehend the hevel—the vapor—of life. It speaks into the liminal space between the world’s original goodness
and its present brokenness.
Yet within its brutal honesty, Ecclesiastes offers a surprising invitation: to find purpose not by grasping for control, but by opening our hands to receive life as a gift of grace. As we learn this way of being, God forms in us a deep resilience—a steady joy and trust that endure even when life doesn’t make sense.
Join us this fall for an eight-week journey through this ancient book of wisdom as we learn to live with purpose in the paradox of life.

BIBLE PROJECT PODCAST
In this episode, they discuss the book of Ecclesiastes in greater depth. This is an interesting book in Scripture, and the author is relentlessly trying to get the reader to rethink their black and white mindset. It can be a bit depressing to read, and it doesn’t quite give you the same type of feel-good wisdom that the book of Proverbs does. This episode gets at what this book is trying to teach us and what the author thinks it means to live a good and godly life.
