In week three of a sermon series on Ecclesiastes, Pastor David examines Solomon's wisdom regarding work. Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest man of his time, concluded that work is ultimately meaningless because everything we toil for will eventually be left to others who may not appreciate or manage it well. As Ecclesiastes 2:17-26 reveals, Solomon "hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me."
Pastor David reminds us that while work is necessary to pay bills and sustain life, it shouldn't be our ultimate purpose. Quoting Dallas Willard, he emphasizes, "The most important thing in your life is not what you do, it's who you become." The sermon concludes with the powerful story of Steve, a businessman who learned to use his position to serve God by helping a homeless man, illustrating how we can work for God's kingdom in whatever profession we find ourselves, as instructed in Colossians 3:23-24.
