Sermon Notes
Welcome to week 9 of "Under the Sun: A Study on the Book of Ecclesiastes"! This Sunday, Josh Fortney dives into Ecclesiastes 9, continuing to contrast between what life looks like with an "under the sun" (the teacher's pessimism) mentality versus an "above the sun" (the true message of the book) mentality. Josh emphasizes the inevitability of death and the shared fate of both the righteous and the wicked, encouraging believers that in light of that reality, we are to relinquish control, revel in today, and be ready for eternity!
