I pressed into subpoena seem non liberal or your book of
-
Ecclesiastes and what is that? The title is that life under the
-
sun is futile or futile. It is pointless and it is full
-
of frustration in the Pong Buhai no Miranda ID to say Ilalim

-
Nothing in morning. Better let me assure you that
-
the aim of studying this book is not to depress us, it is not to
-
discourage us, but rather this book of Ecclesiastes is
-
actually, it's not a depressing book, Deena.
-
And then it is not that depressing book, but rather it
-
is a realistic one. It shows the reality, or it
-
speaks of the reality of what life really is about.
-
It speaks about the reality of life and death, and it speaks
-
about the life that has joy, but also it speaks about the life
-
that has sorrow. Capricorn Papansin 19 sabuhi in
-
America Madalas bought a maybe this time of restraints to
-
happen and that is because we have this unrealistic view of
-
life. Murillo Union dahilan come back
-
at this time of restraint or my discourage Sabu hai Nathan.
-
We don't have a realistic life or we don't have a realistic
-
view of life, but rather we have an ideal perception or idyllic
-
perception of what life is. It because I've been Bahama
-
shadow perfect human perception at and I know, but shadow tying
-
London's Sobrang positive in the perception of what life is.
-
And that's the reason why we get so easily frustrated.

-
Sometimes we get dissatisfied with the life that we have and
-
perhaps even get depressed because of it.
-
Because of this thinking and as we continue to consider our
-
lives aluminum 1.19 aparamen I think manga dreams Marami

-
specific dream job gusto nating margin careers.
-
I think Buhari Meranti made dreams ideals but Bohai

Madame Diane aspirations or dreams about having good health
-
and at the same time acronym even Magandang retirement life.
-
That's what we think but the reality is that do we The
-
reality is that things don't actually usually happen the way
-
we want it to happen. Union partially nothing Makita
-
dito and for some odd reason your way of thinking the
-
maritime ganito I mean power net and on how we see our spiritual
-
life. For example, Alana posa
-
mangagaling evangelical or someone Pentecostal churches.
-
We are continuously being encouraged to pray, to read the
-
Bible, to go to church every Sunday and to continuously do
-
our ministry or making active some ministry dahil hunting.
-
When we do that, we khaki batna blessing according to companion

spiritual life even before my even now and Reformed Church

Mumbai. Why is that?
-
Like that means lagoon and inside eternity to have an ideal
-
and prosperous life under the sun.
-
That is not what is the promise, but rather He calls us to look
-
to Him for resolution in this life that we have beyond the
-
sun. Can Apple, my young Magneto from
-
the first chapter of Ecclesiastes, Methamphetamine,
-
Tatlong, Katotohanan, Patulin Matoneni pray now, maybe
-
continue to open our hearts and may the Lord open our minds for
-
us to understand what life really is.
-
I'm adding three points. Poeto.
-
First point is life under the sun is frustrating.
-
That's the first point. Palopo.
-
Life under the sun is more frustrating than we actually
-
realise. That's the second point.
-
And last, the source of life's frustration is nothing but sin.
-
So those are our three points. And before we proceed, let's go
-
ahead and go before the Lord in prayer.
-
But you know, I mean just Rami Punk, Salamat Kapapa and Miranda
-
for lapit naman. So you're saying Salita Patuli
-

Makumba bang puso now handang makinig at Matuto galing Lamont
-
Sai. We acknowledge ohh God, that the
-
truth that we are about to hear is something that is hard.
-
And may you teach us to find comfort in you.
-
May you guide us all or then may you help us understand the
-
meaning of life so that we should be guarded by the
-
deceptions of this world, so that we could have a greater
-
peace in the midst of trials and so that we could learn to trust
-
you more in this life. We look forward for your word
-
and this we pray in Jesus name, Amen.
-
Amen. So first point, poke.
-
The life under the sun is frustrating.
-
Sabrosa, verse one to three. The word of God says the words
-
of the preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
-
Vanity of vanities, says the preacher.
-
Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.
-
That's the word of God today. That's the message of God today.
-
What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the
-
sun? Sabadito syllabus and attend All
-
is vanity which have been Everything is vain, everything
-
is vanity you've been acting everything has been and think
-
everything is vanity. So Tagalog ang ibig sabihin
-

-
It's meaningless. China goes up and attaining
-
vanity. Context NATO dialogue walang Sai

-

-
That all is meaningless. Damaging perception is well,
-
what profit is there in working so hard in this life?
-
No one and not even one would want to hear that.
-
But as we go back to the scriptures, my friends Singapore
-
Boy and the big guy in and verdict Naito Satin, Sinophobia
-
and Nagsabe. Such scripture that all is
-
vanity and that is the preacher in Pogbas and Athens of verse
-
one young the preacher Putitos Hebrews and epic Sabine Punon is
-
he is the coherent coherent boyum Hebrew meaning or Hebrew
-
word no salitang preacher in English Bible it means that it
-
means the one who gathers A congregation to speak to them.
-
Capital preacher at konsa Greek naman tayo pupunta.
-
Greek and Greek translation point on kohelet is Ecclesiastes
-
in Greek meaning and salitang ito canasa Greeks a Greek word.
-
Church is ecclesia because it is being called out or the calling
-
of people, the calling of congregation to gather together,
-
Capucha ecclesia sagrika or sagaloo iglesia.
-
So you've been in church. So the speaker, the preacher of
-
that gathering, of that ecclesia is what you call the
-
Ecclesiastes inpong ibigsabihin salitang Ecclesiastes the
-
preacher. When the question is based on
-
what the preacher says, can we trust this verdict?
-
Can we trust the conclusion that was given by the preacher?
-
Here they are contaminating mabuti as we are to be honest
-
with what we have read. Deepanam sobrang negative naman
-
para sa first chapter in liberal MiTo native Namang.
-
Conclusion Abu Hai and the answer to the question if can we
-
trust this verdict is still always yes, we could trust the
-
verdict because we trust the preacher who wrote the
-
scriptures in the book of Ecclesiastes and this preacher
-
calls himself the son of David. He calls himself the king of
-
Jerusalem. Now while a lot of kings are all
-
the kings of Jerusalem were considered sons or descendants
-
of David. It could only be Solomon or it
-
could only be King Solomon who wrote this book, this book of
-
Ecclesiastes when Pomembna scholars then exercising
-
Maryhill by possibility in a Hindi seeking Solomon an
-
excellent NATO for some compelling reasons pero Hindi na
-
punat and mapagusapan Machado young aspect Nayon young
-
different views about it. I think discussions about this
-
topic. So I encourage you, if you want,
-
you could study as well. It all the more so that we could
-
help one another and encourage one another to understand it
-
more. But I have chosen to remain with
-
the traditional view of understanding and claim that
-
this is King Solomon who wrote it because it is more
-
consistent, it is more defensible, and it is more
-
suitable for faithful exposition for us to acknowledge that it is
-
King Solomon who wrote this when back at King Solomon and
-
normally writings in Hindi. So sad piece of verse 16, I said
-
in my heart I have acquired great wisdom surpassing all who
-
were over Jerusalem before me, and my heart has had great
-
experience of wisdom and knowledge.
-
That's what we have read in verse 16 and we know that it is
-
King Solomon who fits perfectly on that aspect.
-
No other king was wiser than he. Even in First Kings chapter 4 it
1 Kings 4 chapter mention
-
says that God gave Solomon wisdom, great understanding and
-
knowledge as vast as the sand on the seashore.
-
In pain Makita natin detonate Indian dog.
-
Now I think dusky Solomon, and that's why it can only be
-
Solomon who wrote this book Accounting.
-
And then you have yeah, man, the Miranshah.
-
We could say that it did indeed gave him the time and the
-
capacity to investigate a lot of things in this life.
-
In verse 13, it says that he gave his heart to investigate
-
with that wisdom all the things that were done under heaven,
-
when in verse 14 it says that he had seen all the works that are
-
done under the sand sun. And that is a bold claim.
-
Apparel megamillion. You must have all the resources
-
that you should need and you must have all the time that you
-
need in order for you to be able to come up with that
-
understanding and with that assessment about the life that
-
we have. Better Kerala later I will sense

Kanaman impeding my easy path. Magawa at Maranatha in
-
honeymoon. Now we'll see Peter Nambu hai
-
hangang Sahama Tayen He experienced success of life and
-
experience also failures in life.
-
And as we go back in Nopo and verdict making Solomon, what is
-
the verdict and what is the conclusion of the preacher as
-
what we have read here on conclusion and Latin ito is
-
this. He says that all is vanity.
-
After assessing and studying and understanding everything, his
-
ultimate conclusion is that everything is vain.
-
It's a messy and frustrating world.
-
Walang Cabulo Han and Lahat and ito capability in tatangapin and
-

It means everything will just be fine.
-
Hibernate impeding accept nagana Lang yung perception at in Sibu
-
hai sabahat nanaman ganka negative scriptures about this
-
life. But again my friends, the answer
-
is no, the Bible is not negative.
-
What we have read here is not a pessimistic aspect of life.
-
It is simply realistic. It is just being truthful for
-
what is really happening in this life.
-
Excessive bilang tone and tone. That is why life is frustrating.
-
First to it says vanities of vanities as the preacher.
-
Vanity of vanities. All is vanity and as we continue
-
to study the word, when we talk about the word vanity in Word
-
point of vanity is the Hebrew word Havel.
-
Examining vanity is a Hebrew at comma.
-
Still, it is similar me adina Chinese AIBA Singapore ever see
-
Abel and it literally means breath.
-
Young Havel, Young Satan gallopo parang single Lang laughing
-
along parang single or isang hanging bigland domain, but
-
figuratively. Here it is translated as vanity
-
Vanity dial. It doesn't last.
-
It's unsafe and then and this word can be translated as
-
senselessness, messiness, wackiness, frustration,
-
emptiness, absurdity, futility, and elusiveness.
-
Informal translations or meaning of meditative mahita or my
-
interprets a word. Nervanix City and some soul
-
scholars suggest that his name Pangalan Puni Abel, the meaning
-
breath or vapour reflects the temporal nature of his life
-
because we know the story that he was killed young.
-
He has this life of hope but it is very short lived because he
-
was killed by his brother Cayenne and that can be
-
frustrating. It is indeed frustrating.
-
Apparent. I'm Buhari Moi dumaan Lang
-
parang hanging and that's heaven.
-
That is what it means to say Vanity had great reflex sat in
-
manga Nathan in reality in Amanpour, We as people often
-
still get what we want in this life Tamaku Bayan, we always we
-
could still get what we desire. If you would look at it in a
-
positive sense, you know really that no one point about the last
-
in the Mr. Nathan Sabu Hai. If it's a minuto, even in the
-
simplest things, we get what we want.
-
We get to choose what we eat and whatever it is that we want to
-
eat, we still get that. We still have the right to
-
choose. So then I think situation sabu
-
hai. Or we could still choose who our
-
friends are. We we and most of the time we
-
get an experience what we want. Pero kasama Dun capacitive

So in short, even if Umalis Navan one enough are before the

-
frustrating. Ohh, my lists.

-
So much excitement to eat. But then again, that's Havel
-
mahapatra. That's the life's exciting
-
example of a frustrating life. We could always desire to do
-
something. We could always expect something
-
in in this life. But still, within this life that
-
we have, there are frustrating moments now beyond our control.
-
Life. Is evil.
-
It is frustrating and many as we go here, the scriptures, many
-
cannot take the disappointments of life.
-
As we continuously. See this life, as frustrating as
-
it is, many can't take it. Sambisa verse 8.
-
All things are full of weariness.
-
A man cannot utter it. The eye is not satisfied with
-
seeing, nor the ear is filled with hearing.
-
Even man himself. Doesn't want it At Nagano,
-
anxiousness ties Abu Hai because not everything goes according to
-
what we have planned. That means that silang lahat

-
like Miss Moneypenny dining area, according to what we
-
wanted to happen. Yes, there are good times.
-
Even Solomon describes in the latter chapters of this about
-
eating, about drinking, about making merry.
-
He talks about studying, working and having kids.
-
He talks about joy and life, but he also talks about the sadness
-
of life. He talks about life and death.
-
And life is indeed full of good things, but the problem is in
-
the midst of all this good things of life.
-
It is always. Mixed with the bad things of
-
life that frustrates us, that disappoints us.

-
The Sun, my friends, this is life under the sun.
-
But as we go to our second point, we will see that in the
-
midst of all this frustration, we will realise that the life
-
under the sun is more frustrating than we realise.
-
Come back frustrating then. Now you will understand it is
-
more frustrating that as we thought it is.

na sycle nang buhay na meron tayo baghat naba Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes one and it is all because of Genesis 3.
-
It is all because of sin. So because of sin, that's why we
-
have thorns and thistles, we have great pains and
-
relationship problems. And again, why?
-
We could always ask why? Why did God allow these things
-
to happen? And I hope and feel that you get
-
frustrated because this would solve the issue in this life.
-
I hope that we realise how frustrating life is so that we
-
would be able to understand why it is frustrating.
-
And that the answer is. This it is frustrating so that
-
we will turn to God. It is hard.
-
Because it is meant so that we would turn to Christ.
-
Life under the sun will. Always be frustrating, and only
-
by the Gospel we can endure it. Let us not focus.
-
On the the ideal perception of life, but rather understand the
-
reality of life and the lens of the gospel of God.
-
God. What God?
-
Has been no man can straighten. I think the acting just no

problems. Even Christ himself said I came
-
to bring a sword and not peace. He said follow me and suffer the
-
pain of the cross. Indiana think I and Tasman and
-
Gallon and Buena meron tayo acknowledged that when we must
-
acknowledge it and we learn to live contentedly with the
-
messiness of this life. Why and how?
-
By going to Christ, By following him and nothing else and no one
-
else. Solomon already asked.
-
What do you get from all the labour under the sun?
-
And he answered nothing. Well, I know someone don't want
-
to, you know, Lamang. So what did Jesus says?
-
He said come after me. He said that whoever it is that
-
desires to come after me, he must deny himself.
-
He must take up. His cross and follow him and it
-
makes sense if he would understand his life.
-
It makes sense why. Self denial is important in
-
following Him because there's nothing that we could gain in
-
this world apart from Christ. Christ said Come unto me, all ye
-
that labour and our and our heaven laden, and I will give
-
you rest. It all points out to Christ, it
-
all points us to Him. It leads us all to Christ.
-
Select and frustrations. Number appetite, We deserve it.
-
Because of our sin. Selection problem in America and
-
we deserve it because of our sin.
-
And actually we don't just deserve this frustrations, we
-
deserve worse than this because of our sin.
-
Yet Christ suffered in this world.
-
Experiences, experience the challenges and frustrations and
-
the hardships of this world, even if he doesn't deserve
-
anyone of anything of it. That's why baby continue to.
-
Remind ourselves, in the midst of all these things, of the
-
gospel of God, the only hope that we could have in this
-
world. We always be reminded.
-
That being Christian does not rescue you from the life of
-
frustration, but it teaches us how to carry our cross.
-
It teaches us self denial. And that's the important point
-
of this message. That is why it is necessary to
-
go through life's challenges. We receive his hand from him,
-
things that are good and he still allows things that are bad
-
in our lives. And the reason why we can do
-
that is because we are yearning for a better life, taught here
-
but in heaven. Can I put as we?
-
End. I want you to think of.
-
This this way romance ate tells us that whatever we are
-
suffering right now. It is nothing.
-
May you take it as that Iglesias this one?
-
Is saying everything in this life is nothing.
-
It is vanity now in Romans 1, specifically sinasabi na din
-
dito, that everything that we are suffering right now is
-
nothing compared to the glory that we have in heaven.
-
That's the answer. And my friend Cindy Lam.
-
Putao, but all creation is waiting for that day.
-
Everything was cursed, subject to vanity and frustration.
-
But one day it will not be anymore.
-
So until that day, as what we have prayed earlier, my we've
-
continued to find faith and to have faith in Him.
-
Campfires are. Encouragement May we, may I read
-
to you Romans 8, and may you could read it with me, Romans
-
818 to 25. Romans 818 to. 25 Four.
-
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not
-
worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
-
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing
-
of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected
-
to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected
-
them and hoped that the creation itself will be set free from its
-
bondage. Corruption and obtain the
-
freedom of the glory of the children of God.
-
For we know that the whole creation has been groaning
-
together in the pains of childbirth.
-
And then, now, and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who
-
have the first fruits of the Spirit, grown inwardly as we
-
wait eagerly for the adoptions as sons, the redemptions of our
-
bodies. For in this hope we are saved.
-
Now hope that is sin is not hope.
-
For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do
-
not see, we wait for it with patience.
-
And that's Paul's message to the church from that's also the
-
message of the Ecclesiastes. That's the message of the
-
preacher about this life. But in the midst of everything
-
and in the midst of all the challenges that we have, in the
-
midst of all frustrations, may we continue to remind ourselves
-
of what's our only comfort and life waters are comfort in this
-
life and death. And that is only Christ, His
-
life, his death, his resurrection, and his second
-
coming. Amen.
-
Amen. Let us all pray.
-

-
So animal bag, I did someone but rather maybe continuously desire
-
to find that hope in new as we wait for your coming and as we
-
wait, all Lord may continue to help us endure.
-
May you guide us with your wisdom.
-
May you continue to lead us and direct us in this life and maybe
-
continue to live in such humility and contentment knowing
-
that you are in control and knowing that all these things
-
would work on for the good of those who love you and are
-
called according to their purpose.
-
We thank you and love you. OHH God and this we pray in
-
Jesus name, Amen.
