Title: Have a Good Life (Part 2)
Text: Ecclesiastes 7:10-29
Date: September 24, 2023

Introduction: Disappointment and discouragement are constant companions in life. This was the conclusion reached by Solomon who penned the book of Ecclesiastes. He found life full of futility and disappointment. In his search for truth, which was repeatedly disappointing, he concluded that the pain and problems in life could not be avoided. They had to be accepted and assimilated. So, in Chapter 7 of his book, Solomon gave some suggestions on how to find joy and meaning in life despite its pain and problems. There are ten suggestions on how to have a good life. Last week we addressed five of them.
