We explore King Solomon’s exhaustive search for fulfillment through pleasure, great accomplishments, and immense wealth, only to find that these pursuits are ultimately "striving after the wind." In examining Ecclesiastes 2, we discover why worldly success leaves us empty and how true, lasting joy is found only through abiding in Christ.

Ecclesiastes confronts us with a sobering truth: even wisdom, achievement, and knowledge cannot rescue us from the limits of life under the sun. In this opening message, we explore why seeing the world clearly can feel heavy—and how that honesty prepares us to seek meaning beyond ourselves.
