TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS
Read Ecclesiastes 2:1-11. In Solomon’s search for the meaning of life, he first explores pleasure. What is the difference between pleasure outside of God vs. the pleasure that God created us to know and experience? What are some of the downfalls of pleasure from this world?
Solomon had done it all, made it all, had it all, and earned it all, and yet he still said that it was all “hevel” (a meaningless vapor that is here for a second and gone), and that nothing was new under the sun. How should this wisdom and realization change our thoughts, perspective, and life styles?
Read Ecclesiastes 2:12-17. Next, Solomon explores wisdom and we find in this passage that life isn’t fair. Obtaining wisdom can’t change our fate, destiny, or legacy. But… what are the benefits of living a life with Godly wisdom?
Read Ecclesiastes 2:18-26. And finally, In Solomon’s search for the meaning of life, he explores work. And once again, he’s frustrated that no matter how hard you work or how successful you become, it also is hevel. What is the hardest or most frustrating thing about your work?
What are the best ways you can glorify God in your work? (Or instead of “work”, insert anything you do: parent, grandparent, school, hobby, etc.)
Close: What is ONE thing that you are holding onto and need to let go of? How can you live in grace in that thing or situation?
