As the teacher in Ecclesiastes continues to search for the source of fulfillment, he explores success and recognition. The pursuit of more will never fulfill because it is an endless pursuit. There is always more to gain.

In the third chapter of Ecclesiastes, the teacher examines the idea of control. We see that God is sovereign over the seasons of life and we can trust that He is the one that is fully in control.

As the teacher begins his search for fulfillment in life, he tests the void within him with pleasure. He explores the good gifts God has given us and finds that good gifts cannot take the place of God Himself.

As we begin our journey through the book of Ecclesiastes, we are introduced to the Preacher and taken on a journey with him. We see that life is not meaningless and that true and lasting fulfillment can only be found in Jesus.

As we conclude our summer in prayer, we look at the prayers in Revelation 4 and look at what worship truly means. Let us use these models of prayer as a tool to truly worship and express our adoration to the Lord.

As we conclude our series on prayer and our study through Habakkuk, we come to Habakkuk's final response to God. Though he has heard horrible news and though he doesn't fully understand God's plan, he chooses to praise God. Even if everything around us seems wrong, we can rejoice in the Lord. And if we believe that, we can pray with confidence.

As we see God's second response to Habakkuk, we see that God is sovereign, just, holy, and supreme. Prayer is recognizing who God is and seeing how great our God is.

As we see Habakkuk respond back to God, we see the prophet faithfully question God and faithfully wait on God's response. Prayer requires the patience to trust God's timing over my own.
