Ecclesiastes 2:16

Life "under the sun" can feel empty, chaotic, and uncertain. Solomon wrestled with these realities in Ecclesiastes, confronting the futility of earthly pursuits and the fleeting nature of life. Yet, his reflections point us beyond despair to a life of Kingdom-centered purpose. This 5-day devotional explores key lessons from Ecclesiastes, pairing them with the hope found in Christ. Each day invites you to shift your focus from temporary things to eternal truths, embrace God's wisdom, and gain the objectivity to live for His glory.

Most men have experienced times of great frustration and disappointment because they feel like they are lacking something in their lives, or that others have more. So, how do we find our way to true contentment and satisfaction, regardless of our circumstances? Join us in this 7-day devotional for men, written by Tim Bergmann of Alliance Community Church in Sylvan Lake, Alberta.

My dear friends, in the Sermon on the Mount—the longest recorded discourse of Jesus Christ in the Gospels—we find the prayer known as the “Our Father” or the “Lord’s Prayer.” Before teaching His disciples this prayer, Jesus first taught them how to pray. That is the focus of this series of reflections: what the right posture is when we approach God in prayer. Not the physical posture—whether kneeling, standing, sitting, or lying down—but the posture of the heart!

God created us to find meaning in our lives. But we live in a broken world where we’re continually frustrated in our search. So, what’s the point of living life? This is the question the Teacher in Ecclesiastes is asking. At first, the message of this wisdom book seems to lead to despair, but in fact points to the hope of life found in God alone.
