Today I will continue our sermon series which is an expository study through the book of Ecclesiastes. We find ourselves in the second section of the book, which is where Solomon seeks to prove the assertion he made in the first section. In the text before us in this sermon Solomon will give us his thoughts about the vanity of wealth. It seems that everyone desires to be wealthy, and by wealthy we mean having more than what we presently possess – in truth, we want a lot more of this world's goods. But there are many problems associated with wealth and Solomon identifies some of them. As western Christians we have to be very careful at this point, because we have an abundance to a much greater extent than we realize. Furthermore, it would be quite easy for us to get “caught up” in the pursuit of having even more, rather than setting our affections on things above. I will try to be faithful to allow Solomon to speak for himself, but all that he has to say is extremely relevant for us today. Again it is my prayer is that God will be pleased to bless the His word preached as we continue our study of this fascinating book.
