In this sermon, Pastor David begins a six-week series on Ecclesiastes by confronting us with Solomon's jarring wisdom: everything is meaningless. Our jobs, possessions, worries, and achievements are all temporary—"vapor" that's here and gone in a flash. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 1:1-11, he emphasizes that nothing is new under the sun, and generations come and go while the earth remains.Pastor David connects this ancient wisdom to Jesus's teaching in Matthew 6:25-34 about not worrying about tomorrow. He shares the profound insight found in this chapter: the only thing that truly lasts is your soul. Therefore, what matters most isn't what you accomplish but who you become. Referencing John Ortberg's "Soul Keeping," he also describes how our souls are "sticky," picking up habits, attitudes, and sins from our surroundings that may not align with God. This sermon challenges us to focus on soul-formation, because everything else—while seemingly important now—is ultimately meaningless unless it impacts eternal souls.We invite you to connect with us: https://linktr.ee/faithmcrichmondtx
