"What does The Game of Life hold for you?" This is the question posed by the popular board game that gives you the opportunity to earn degrees, make money, lose money, get married, luck into things, and suffer losses. But in real life, what is the meaning of it all?This week we are going to kick off a new series called "The Game of Life" where we will go verse by verse through the book of Ecclesiastes, which offers us an interesting perspective of real meaning, purpose, and the choice to either be self-centered or God-centered.
Read chapter 1 verses 1-11 and come ready to jump into "The Game of Life!"

This could be a depressing section of scripture if our vision remained limited to the cycles of nature and impact of man generation to generation. Thankfully God gives us the opportunity to live beyond what we alone can do (whether as individuals or generation to generation) and be connected to His economy of meaning through the character (& life values) he develops within us as we join in relationship with Him and our brethren and even as we serve those who are "yet to believe".
