Good morning, I have been looking forward to studying the book of Ecclesiastes with you all. I've entitled our six week series, What Matters Most because the writer of Ecclesiastes does a masterful job identifying what matters most in life and eternity and what doesn't.

And he comes to two life-changing conclusions, which you and I will spend these next few weeks exploring. First, if the Lord has blessed you with wealth, wisdom, meaningful work to do, family and friends, these are all blessings from his hands and he means for us to enjoy them. However, if the very same things are all you have and you don't have a relationship with the Lord, are they enough?

Today's scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:1-18, Mark 8:36.
