In the Book of Ecclesiastes, there's a man named Solomon who finds out that his great wealth can't buy him happiness. He realizes instead that joy and happiness are found beyond the sun, not in everything underneath it. This Bible study explores that wisdom.
A joyful life begins when we stop pursuing pleasure and fulfillment as a goal and begin to view earthly things from God's perspective--as good, but not ultimate gifts. By fearing God and keeping His commands--through the grace of Jesus--we can learn to find genuine happiness and satisfaction. (8 sessions)
