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
