Ever tried a dozen keys on a lock and found that none of them fit? In the final message of our Ecclesiastes series, “The Key,” Pastor Daniel uses a simple padlock to show what the Teacher spent twelve chapters discovering: the keys we reach for to unlock a meaningful life (wisdom, pleasure, wealth, work, legacy) never turn, because only the Maker provides the key that fits. Ecclesiastes 12 boils it down to two words, rejoice and remember, or as the Teacher puts it, “fear God and keep his commands.” Along the way, we look at why joy and sorrow can coexist, how forgetting God puts us at the center of our own story, and why the glory of God is a person fully alive. We also ask what the Teacher might have said if he’d seen the other side of the resurrection, where Romans 8 tells us nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ.tulipstreet.com/sermons
