Well, it was the final preach for me in the Ecclesiastes series, and although I found it the hardest one to prepare, it went fine. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed preparing the series and preaching the sessions that I did. Ecclesiastes is a fantastic book but one that still maintains a certain amount of enigma to it! I opened with a poem I’ve written, which I may well share with you later this week.
What a chunk to deal with! I’ve never preached on such a large portion of scripture before, but I did enjoy doing so yesterday. It went well and in order to read enough to get the gist of what was going on in that chunk I introduced the first reading just as a poem—not telling the congregation until afterwards that it was part of the passage. I read Eccl. 7:1-14 in the New Century Version.
Having arrived back from holidays, yesterday was the first preach I did in Malpas Road’s summer series on Ecclesiastes, life? Meirion Thomas preached the first two, which I was unhelpfully away on holiday for.
Earlier today, I grabbed a couple of the youth in our church and we headed down into Cwmbran and Newport to film people answering the question, “What is the point in life?” The video will be shown to kick off our Ecclesiastes series which is coming up soon.
