I. Introduction

• What is the ultimate question from the beginning?
• But is religion the answer to the meaning of
  life?
• The message of Ecclesiastes is crystal clear.

II. God alone holds the Key to a Meaningful Life

• Life is worthless and meaningless without God
  (Ecclesiastes 12 Matthew 261-35 Mark
  1427-31 John 1336-38 Luke 2231, 32
  Galatians 61).
• The business of this world is labour
  (Ecclesiastes 13 Genesis 27 Jeremiah 2913).

III. The Cycles of Nature and History are
constantly repeating themselves

• Can I expect rest in a world where all things are
  weary and tiresome? (Ecclesiastes 14-8 1 John
  217 Job 147, 12 James 414)
• Satisfaction and the meaning of life is found in
  God (John 1010).

IV. There is Nothing new under the Sun

• There is no new source of happiness that can be
  devised (Ecclesiastes 19, 10).
• Mans problem is still the same The Unfulfilled
  Life (Genesis 65 Jeremiah 179 1323 Romans
  323).

IV. There is Nothing new under the Sun

• Where does happiness come from? (Ecclesiastes
  111 Luke 1215 Mark 836 1 Timothy 68-10
  Ecclesiastes 121 Luke 1020 Revelation 2015)

V. Conclusion

• Is the seeking for a satisfying and meaningful
  life wishful thinking? (John 1125 316) Life
  without God is meaningless. But life with God is
  full of meaning and fulfillment.

V. Conclusion

• May the Holy Spirit of God open our eyes to see
  what is transient and what is that has eternal
  value. Let us set our priorities right. With
  Gods help, let us restore that true sense of
  values so that whatever we do, we will do all to
  the glory of God
• (1 Corinthians 1031).

V. Conclusion

• Come to Jesus today! He is the key to a
  satisfying and meaningful life. Amen
