Ecclesiastes ep.9: A Simple Gift

This past weekend, we explored Ecclesiastes 5:10-20 with the message “A Simple Gift: Contentment in God’s Provision.”

In a world that constantly urges us to want more, Solomon reminds us of a profound truth: lasting peace isn’t found in possessions, but in recognizing and enjoying the daily gifts God provides.

“Indeed, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them… this is a gift from God.” (Ecclesiastes 5:19)

Key Takeaways from the Message

  • More doesn’t equal better. The endless pursuit of wealth leads to worry, not rest.

  • Contentment is a gift. When we acknowledge that all we have comes from God, we can find joy in the simple, everyday blessings.

  • True wealth is found in peace with God. Gratitude and trust are worth far more than anything money can buy.

Let’s carry that spirit of contentment and thankfulness into this week as we prepare to celebrate the greatest gift of all—Jesus Christ, our risen Savior!
