Life Has Meaning: Themes from Ecclesiastes with R.C. Sproul 

Please keep these videos coming- we never tire of messages from one of the best Christian minds of our time! God rest his soul. 🙏🏼

One of my favorite books in the Bible. "All is vanity and a chasing after the wind" "to eat, drink, and find joy in one's labor is the gift of God."

I find it amazing that I can have such a deep affection for someone whom I have never met and who has been with the Lord now for years. RC Sproul was special, and it may sound strange, but his online presence helps fill the void I have in my heart from having no relationship with my father and currently having no undershepherd. His teachings have sustained me. I look forward to meeting him in glory and telling him what a buttress he and his ministry have been for my faith. I do not put him on a pedestal, I am just really grateful for his faithfulness to the calling God gave him. There are other teachers online I am also grateful for, but I have a soft spot for this man.

Even though he's no longer with us, I still regard R.C. as my mentor in regards to the doctrine of scripture.

It was my first time hearing this teacher, but reading the comments, I am encouraged greatly.

Invaluable information 🙏🏾👊🏾

This man has been one of the greatest treasures in all of Christendom. I look forward to seeing him in glory.

SO SWEET SEEING RC YOUNG...

The gift of life is life itself. There is great irony in God’s giving. I LOVE Ecclesiastes. It’s my favorite book and I listen to the audio of it very often when life gets a little too him drum or overbearing.

Imagine being gone to the Lord for a few years but still being so relevant in many people's walk with the Lord. I listen to this guy every day!

why have i not known the truth the sun will disappear. great gift to meet this pastor. thank god

Wonderful. Thank you. Please share the continuation

Please post the full series 🙏🏾‼️‼️

Thanks for this beautiful content

I thank God for R.C. Sproul’s no nonsense straight to the point teaching of the word of God. I discovered that circle and straight line concepts while searching for the meaning of life and dignity of man back in college. God led me to follow the beeline straight to Him ever since. May the word of God reach the end of world and shine on every crevice with His everlasting glory!

I’m on Ligioner Connect and have decided to study Themes from Ecclesiastes I will admit it takes a lot of time, prayer, thinking, researching and patience when studying the Holy Scriptures! To me RC was the Columbo of the Holy Scriptures

As someone living in South Africa in 2024, I would like to confirn that there is still troublein South Africa 😅

As an ex atheist, Ecclesiastes is one of the most influential books in the bible to me. An atheist has to adopt Nihilistic views. I couldn't take that anymore.

Nothing makes sense to me more in this world than spiritual truth and R.C. Is the the best translator I’ve found so far and I don’t think I have to look much further

I watch Sproul teachings everyday…haven’t gotten to see this yet! Thanks 🤓🤓

I have spent the last year listening/watching RC Spoul. The only reason I am listening to this, not because his teachings are unbiblical, but his voice seems to have never changed. His voice can enthuse me, or relax me. Whatever GOD deems is necessary at the time. I’ve listened to almost 10 seconds so far. I am so grateful that his message and so many others are stored in this vast space we call the internet. I can’t wait to hear whatever message he is sending beyond the grave. Thank you LORD that I live in a time that the most brilliant minds on earth have spent 2000yrs studying Your Word, and all of that knowledge is accessible at my fingertips…..

How young(er) Sproul looks than his later days. Miss him.

THE MORE YOU KNOW HIM,……….. THE MORE YOU GONNA LOVE HIM,…………PRAISE HIS PERFECT PRECIOUS HOLY AND WONDERFULL RIGHTEOUS NAME,…………..AMEN

Great I love watching these videos! God bless!

This is a brilliant and beautiful message. I never thought about Ecclesiastes in that light.

Thank Mr. Sproul

Love One Another, And Love Will Love You... Who's Love? GOD IS LOVE.

The News of the World are tired making. That’s why I stay abstinent from it especially TV News in America nonstop talking repeating pictures on and one is sickening to my mind and soul. The weather report repeats quicker than the clouds could move. Instead I fill and feed my mind with heavenly food never gets boring always find something really new or hidden on my mind revealed like Sprouls sermons.

A younger mid to late 40s RC Sproul bringing us the truth past, the truth present, and the truth future

Please please please post all sessions!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Beautiful man

This is amazing

Woe to them that put their trust in the things that they see, those things that have always been under the sun, for they will fail you and now should count them a piles of dirt in light of the saving grace of our Father in heaven and our Lord Jesus Chirst. Establish your hearts on the returning of Jesus, sever yourselves from the delights of this world, for you do not want to be looking back as Lot's wife!

Wow !!! Awesome 👏 Wow !

Amen

If origin is insignificant, and death is insignificant, then life is insignificant

…hmm. I hadn’t seen this hair do before. thank You Adonai for R.C.Sproul…

Ecclesiastes 12:13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Augustine said time has a beginning (day 1 of Creation) and an ending. (when Christ returns and brings the judgment ending this sin cursed creation, the New Heavens and New Earth will be in eternity which means outside of time, so time ends.)

"Is there any purpose to life? Why do we exist? The answers to these questions can profoundly shape our worldview and our understanding of God." Indeed yes! For IF you ask 1,000 pastors, "Why do we exist, etc"?; you would get a myriad of different answers! Sad but OH so true. So try this out; I believe our Creator God Almighty; created this world for ONE reason. And that is to separate His "sheep" and satan's "goats". AKA: Born Again's and Non Born Again's. And it would take 6,000 yrs; to come to fruition. When the sheep will go to heaven and the goats will go to hell. In any case Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

" A tale told by an Idiot " love it so TRUE!

Amen!.🔩

Where is the chapter 2 video?

kde je druhý díl? :)

I’m very happy with the fact that my life doesn’t have a meaning. To me it seems very exhausting to have a life with.

Please where can I get a continuation of this message

So is he equating Solomon’s view of life as nihilistic and different from the ancient Israelites point of view on history?

The grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST be with you all 💘

What year was this?

1986

Is that the same Herschel Walker running for the Senate right now ?

The scientific way to explain metaphysics is basic math and basic geometry: [Exhibit A]: We have ten whole, rational numbers 0-9 and their geometric counterparts 0D-9D. 0 and it's geometric counterpart 0D are: 1) whole ✅ 2) rational ✅ 3) not-natural ✅ 4) necessary ✅ 1-9 and their geometric counterparts 1D-9D are: 1) whole ✅ 2) rational ✅ 3) natural ✅ 4) contingent ✅ Newton says since 0 and 0D are "not-natural" ✅ then they are also "not-necessary" 🚫. Newton also says since 1-9 and 1D-9D are "natural" ✅ then they are also "necessary" 🚫. This is called "conflating" (similar words but different definitions) and is repeated throughout Newton's Calculus/Physics/Geometry/Logic. Leibniz does not make these fundamental mistakes. Leibniz's "Monadology" 📚 is 0 and it's geometric counterpart 0D. The Egyptians, Syrians, Greeks, Mathematicians, Plato (the Good on 0D-3D pyramid) and don't forget Jesus and John all speak of the Monad (number 0, geometry 0D, quantum SNF). 0D Monad (Quarks) 1D Line (Leptons) 2D Plane (Guage Bosons) 3D Volume (Higgs Boson) We should all be learning Leibniz's Calculus/Physics/Geometry/Logic. Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 for a reason. The Fibonacci triangle is 0, 1, 2 (Not 1, 2, 3). Newton's 1D-4D "natural ✅ = necessary 🚫" universe is a contradiction. Before we're here is necessary. This is contingent. Most likely "imaginary" in the same way 'time' is "illusory". There's no 3D anybody without their 0D Monad/Soul. No Higgs Boson without Quarks. Natural does not mean necessary. Similar, yet different. Not-natural just means no spatial extension; zero size; exact location only. Necessary. Newtonian nonsense will never provide a Theory of Everything. Leibniz's Law of Sufficient Reason should be required reading 📚.

5:23 Nietzche set forth 'his' philosophy of Nihilism? Nietzche carefully warned men against Nihilism.

Where is RC Sproul buried?

As much as I enjoy listening to MrSproul, I’ve come to a different conclusion. Where is the meaning for such extreme suffering and injustice? I never used to doubt the validity of the Bible.

I understand now why it just right as wiser being Godly first if be ever like in Christ's when parried Nicodemus didn't he know how it's with Spirit's if not out of it powerless unlike a wind or under Sun don't see in light of day alive yet still born else already dead fool unless dutifully relied on faith's, as loving a life of hope unto the last lest what's it profited lost one's soul. Took while lookup Eccles. 2 ahead?!

one of Faithful slaves of Christ

No, life has no objective meaning. Make of it what you wish, if you wish, but there is no god who set up a meaning or purpose for life.
