Here Then Gone (Ecclesiastes Introduction)

With Ecclesiastes we are entering into a different world. A world that existed close to 3000 years ago. Though we read it in English this morning and you are following along in your heart or home language the words we read may not be as clear as we would want them to be. Along with that even though God the Holy Spirit is the true author of our texts this morning we also are dealing with a human author that has a personality, his own set of experiences, his own perspective on the world around him, and his own God given purpose for writing this text.
