Sin

Ecclesiastes | Is This It? | May 25

SUNDAY SERMON

Sermon by Michael Bailey on May 25, 2025.

Key scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:1-11

“Meaningless, meaningless… everything is meaningless.” That’s the opening line, and somehow the beginning of hope. Week one in Ecclesiastes shows us why everything “under the sun” eventually lets us down—and how life with God brings joy to even the most ordinary days.
