SERIES: 21 Ecclesiastes - What's the Point? - 2000
MESSAGE: What Are You Doing With Yourself?
SPEAKER: Skip Heitzig
SCRIPTURE: Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

MESSAGE SUMMARY
When Dr. Karl Menninger was asked, "What advice do you have for someone feeling a nervous breakdown coming on?" Astonishingly he replied, "Lock up your house, go across the railway tracks, find someone in need, and do something to help that person." I think Solomon would agree. In this section he is winding down his journal with this advice: Give yourself away!

OUTLINE

  1. Invest Yourself (vv. 1-2)

    1. Be Generous

    2. Be Wise

  2. Commit Yourself (vv. 3-6)

    1. Be Diligent

    2. Be Adventurous

    3. Be Dependent

Pondering the Principles:
  1. Are you a tightfisted person? Does generosity mark you? In what ways does this tendency manifest itself in your closest relationships?

  2. Does the uncertainty of the future paralyze you or motivate you? How does your faith in God reveal itself in such situations?
