Meeting Notes : 9-29-2010

Sorry for not updating in a while but I've just been very busy. We had a great turnout today and a moving study. Good seeing you again TJ -  You looked great and I'm pleased to hear things are going so well in your life. Jesus takes care of his own, you are discovering that, eh?

We finished Chapter 4 of Ecclesiastes and will pick up with Chapter 5 next week. Bring your Bible and be prepared to use it because I have a lot of cross-referrences to go over that will greatly help explain and reveal the depths of this chapter. Untill then, KEEP LIVING IT.

peace and grace

Meeting notes: 8-25-10

We had an awesome discussion comparing 3000 years of western philosophy with the arguments and conclusions of Solomon in the first three chapters of Ecclesiastes. A practical demonstration that there truely is "noting new under the sun". We also covered 2:12-18 and will pick up at 2:19 next week. Hope to see you there.

Meeting notes: 8-18-10

We covered Ecc 2:1-11 and had a great discussion going with everyone participating. Qoheleth's hedonism experiment was interesting and universal. A lonely, self-indulgent journey. Hebel.  

Next week we'll take a look at how Q's observations and consequent philosophic conclusions compares to western philosophy, Christian and secular, over the last 2000 years. It should be interesting and I hope to see you there.

It is with great sadness that I learned that Glenda Murphree of our study group lost her son this week. Please keep her and her family in your prayers during this difficult time. I will try to have a card at this week's study for everyone to sign. If you would like to take a collection for flowers, please let me know. The arrangements are pending, but the viewing will be at Forest Lawn on 135 South.

Meeting Notes 8-11-10: Great Discussion

We covered Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 today and had a really good discussion. The themes of Ecclesiastes are so universal and self evident that it really draws out the conversation and perspective of the group. I called this passage "The Quest" as it identifies the mission Qoheleth is taking on, why the task needs done and why he is just the man for the job. While such a quest would usually strike chords of optimism, Q tells us right from the start what the result of the quest was: hebel.  (Wow, talk about killing the moment.....")

Join us next week and discover how Q came to his conclusion. Until then,

peace & grace
