Service Type:

Ecclesiastes 12 confronts the reality of aging, mortality, and the urgency of turning toward God while there is still time. Solomon uses vivid pictures of the body’s decline to remind us that strength, ability, and earthly comforts are temporary. Rather than causing despair, this truth becomes an invitation to repentance, wisdom, and a life centered on God now.

Solomon teaches that true wisdom comes through trustworthy instruction, correction, and lived experience. Life is not just something to study but a gift to enjoy through love, gratitude, relationships, and obedience. The final call is simple: fear God, love Him fully, love others deeply, and allow Christ to transform a self-focused life into one marked by generosity, patience, and enduring love.
