Pastor Josh continues his series through Ecclesiastes:
“At first brush, Ecclesiastes can come off pretty pessimistic, and the beginning of chapter 9 is among the most pessimistic messages of the entire book: Death comes to all. It doesn’t matter if you act righteously or religiously, it will not save you from death, which, in the cynical tone of Ecclesiastes, “is a fate worse than life…But for all its cynical realism, Ecclesiastes does not counsel despondency, but demands joy!”
