Teaching #1
A Time For Wisdom
“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV)
Nothing New Under the Sun
Discuss current conditions (Pandemic, conflict, change, etc.)
It has all happened before and will all happen again
A Time For Everything Under the Sun
Born and die, reap and sow, etc.
Life is cyclical (Start and end helpless and dependent, with growth, maturity, and hard work in the middle)
Embrace each season for its gifts and beauty, as well as difficulties
A Season For Everything
Winter (Cold, difficult, loss BUT making way for new life)
Spring (Muddy, messy, rainy BUT creating conditions for new life)
Summer (Busy, hard work of planting, weeding, pruning of new life)
Fall (Harvest and preparation for rest)
Cycle begins again & we can be in different seasons in different parts of our lives
