Howdy, Pastor Mark Triscoll here. We are starting an 18 week series on Ecclesiasties called Meaningless Life.

The world's wisest fool tells it like it is.

Working from home today and the kids are a little sick.

So if you hear a little one drop in, you know what's going on let me go ahead and

pray and we'll jump into what is one of my favorite books of all time. Father

God thank you for an opportunity to open the scriptures and to examine an ancient book that in every way

absolutely applies to contemporary current modern day everyday trials and troubles and tribulations.

We invite you Holy Spirit to help us to learn and when all is said and done to have a deeper affection and appetite for Jesus in whose name we pray.

Well, as we jump into Ecclesiasties,

I was thinking about it, and when I was a kid,

I watched a lot of Sesame Street.

Maybe you did the same. and perhaps you remember the one

recurring segment of the show where they would put four quadrants up on the

screen and kids faces would appear in each quadrant and three the kids were similar and one of the kids was unique and they would ask a little

question you know which kid isn't like the others and which kid isn't the same well Well, that kid's ecclesiasties.
