2012 January Bible Study

The Pursuit: Chasing Answers to Life's Questions by David S. Dockery
 

The question for readers of Ecclesiastes is: "Can meaning in life come from outside of a God-centered universe?"  Ecclesiastes may well be the most contemporary book in the Bible, speaking to the very people who are most likely to build their lives on success, wealth, power, and intellectual reputation.  Repeatedly, the book points out the futility of such away of life, urging instead that readers face their need for God.

This January Bible Study based on the Book of Ecclesiastes will raise the most challenging questions that we face in life in a very realistic way; remind us what life is really like when we choose the pattern of this world rather than what God has to give; help us develop an everyday theology, showing us how to shape a Christian worldview in light of the challenges of secularism, and serve as a guide for us as we seek to learn how to engage culture in an effective way; and enable us to see afresh our need for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
