The Christian & Change Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 “1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 2 “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” 3 What profit has a man from all his labor In which he toils under the sun? 4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes; But the earth abides forever. 5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, And hastens to the place where it arose.

The Christian & Change Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 6 The wind goes toward the south, And turns around to the north; The wind whirls about continually, And comes again on its circuit. 7 All the rivers run into the sea, Yet the sea is not full; To the place from which the rivers come, There they return again. 8 All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.

The Christian & Change Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. 10 Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. 11 There is no remembrance of former things, Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come By those who will come after.”

The Christian & Change I. This World is Ever-Changing & Always Temporary. A. Life is short. (James 4:13-17). B. The World is Temporary. (II Corinthians 4:16-18). C. Nothing in this World is Ours Forever. (Luke 12:15-21).

The Christian & Change II. The Lord Stays the Same. A. “Who can make Him change?” (Job 23:13-16). B. “The same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:5-10). C. “They will perish, but You will endure.” (Psalm 102:24-28).

The Christian & Change II. The Lord Stays the Same. What This Means to Us is... • We need not fear change. • We can be confident that the Lord is with us. • We can trust in the immutability of God’s word.

The Christian & Change III. Faith is “An Anchor for the Soul.” (Hebrews 6:13-20). A. “Your word is settled in the heavens.” (Psalm 119:89-91). B. What is Truly Ours? (I Peter 1:22-25).

The Christian & Change IV. Christians Must Guard Against Over-Attachment to the Things of This World. (I John 2:14-17). • Christians must cling to Him who does not change!
