Living in Light of the End

Austin teaches Ecclesiastes 1:1 as an introduction to the book. He identifies the Preacher as Solomon, son of David and king in Jerusalem, and explains hebel as vapor: life is real but fleeting. The lesson covers Solomon's wisdom and wealth, life under the sun, the tension between gift and vapor, and the call to enjoy God's gifts without worshiping them, fear God, and live in light of death.
