Sermon Text:
Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:11, Psalm 104:14-15

‘Herding the Wind’

“In the 1830’s, when Alexis de Tocqueville recorded his famous observations on America, he noted a ’strange melancholy that haunts the inhabitants…in the midst of abundance.”
– quoted by Tim Keller in Counterfeit Gods

Reflection Points

• What stood out to you? What hit home? How can you respond?
• Does the search for pleasure ever consume you? Do you avoid pleasure?
• Do you see pleasure as a gift from God or a vice that enslaves? How do you break free?
• How can you experience pleasure this week and let it compel you to worship God?
