Jesus said there WILL be trials and tribulations, so Dr. Baucham is spot on. Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon via the Holy Spirit just like every Book from Genesis to Revelation. Solomon wrote this Book and Proverbs while living under the Law, but the law/commands/ decrees of God were written by Moses. The Law that Jesus fulfilled for us because we are too sinful, rebellious and weak. Give God all the glory!
May Yahweh bless this man for his obedience and love for His ppl, his teachings have brought me so much closer to my Father, thank you Voddie for your life devoted to Gods ppl
Ecclesiastes is my favorite book. 1:9 is my favorite verse “…there is nothing new under the sun.” Such a comfort to know everything we face today is nothing new. Those who fear the Lord and are wise to look to the past and are comforted.
I get it’s you guys favorite book, but do you understand what he saying. This book IS NOT LAW. Its just wisdom, something King Solomon wrote through the Holy Spirit from his experiences.
My wife and I have the habit of reading through the Bible over and over again and then listening to expository preaching on the passages we read. So, we came to Ecclesiastes this morning and in searching for messages came upon yours. We were blessed by the truth brought forth in your sermon
When first saved, i was told that Ecclesiastes, was considered the most difficult book to understand. I was told the same thing about reading mere christianity. I found both, to be clear, sensible, and quite easy to get. Im 62, i can use the phones to call, and get on a web site, beyond that, i do NOT, wish to know these things. When introduced in 2007, i said emphatically, that these things mean big trouble. I naturally go to paper maps. See, tech, is like a man, running down a hill. I can PROMISE, IF HE IS NOT CAREFUL, AND RUNS TOO FAST, HE WILL FACE PLANT, HEAD OVER TEA KETTLE, HARD. Same with tech. Tech is knowledge, but not wisdom.wisdom, can only be good. Knowledge can be good, or evil, equally. Bad knowledge teaches us, in a different direction.
Was taught both, Wisdom as Law, seeking Earthly knowledge....yeah I was miserable for a loooong time. Did Evil with it too. Praise be to Jesus that he continues to work me (even breaking me down into painful situations) so as to better me for God's Glory. Want Knowledge? Peace? All the good things we strive after day after day after day? Drop what you know (or think you know) at his feet, at the Cross, accept Jesus into your life (EVERY ASPECT) and he will do in you amazing things you could never have dreamed of!!! HALLELUJAH AND AMEN 🙏 🙌
Ive been reading Ecclesiastes in the morning with my daughter and then last night during dinner I turned on TH-cam to find a video. This was my top recommendation when we opened the app on our tv and I’m so glad we watched this! I’m rewatching it again today. God bless you Pastor!
I finally decided to listen to this Pastor. I'm glad that I have. He explained that Solomon sought out knowledge and wisdom. Studied everything he could even when he asked The LORD GOD for wisdom. THE LORD provided it by making it available. Wow. Im at 50, and now I will seek earnestly.
Amazing word. Ecclesiastes is top 5 favorites books for me.. it’s really amazing and it shows you that all is worthless unless you have God. All will perish, all is given away after you die.. but if you have Christ then you’ll be in glory forever after this world.
Brilliant. Your message spoke to me. God always sends a man. My prayers for you and your family that you will have the strength to resist the devil and fulfill the purpose God has for your life. To God be the glory.🙏
What a powerful man of God Voddie is. He is definitely anointed by God. Today's pastors have sold their souls to the devil. Voddie is filled with the Holy Spirit and we are blessed to be able to hear his messages.
No matter how challenging the path may seem, have faith that God is guiding your steps. With Him leading the way, you can overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. Amen.
When I read Ecclesiastes I fell in love with it. It’s spoke so directly to my life-the pain, the suffering, the loss-and it allows the reader to know the wonderful teachings and admiration for life and Yah through sufferings and struggles. The rocky road prepares the feet for the next stretch of miles up ahead. 🙏🏻 praise the Most High at all times
The whole matter is to surrender completely to God. Trust God completely because He alone is sovereign. Guard your heart against fear, bitterness, wickedness, covetousness, deceit, and disbelief.
People today don't know what they have. When they realize the potential they have in God,all these things really won't matter. The word of God says that 'heaven and earth will pass away, but my Word will never pass away '.
Thank you, very clear explanation for us that want to follow every principle and law in hopes of a better life or future. I come to the place where I depend on him for every breath and anything more than that is a blessing and beyond.
This message came right on time. Just 2 nights ago I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep, the Holy Spirit lead me to read Ecclesiastes. I didn't question, I was just obedient. After reading it I said I'm going to have to do some studying on this, then God had me come across this video. I so appreciate this man of God's teachings.
The opening of this sermon is so powerful, giving me a new look at how I received the world. Man oh man this was for me to hear. Thank you Father and please blessed your messager Voddie Baucham. Wow!
I am always amazed at how God confirms His Word thru faithful pastors . My pastor just preached on this very subject Sunday. I assume I will hear a third teaching on this or read something in the bible confirming these truths
I love Ecclesiastes!! 9: 3 - This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
I think the gifting of God and the love for him is to Him from Him forever. My desire for the word of God is a gift. I am so glade God is generous. All of our abilities are from God and He deserves all the praise. Lean not on your understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your pathway straight!
I fell in love with Ecclesiastes exactly for the reason pastor Voddie says most do not like it. It hit me earlier this year as I did my morning devotional and I realized that a while hearted pursuit of wisdom was the source of Solomon’s wisdom. Not a natural endowment. I saw clearly that Solomon pursued pleasure and gained wisdom in that pursuit. I saw the beauty in gaining experience and pursuing life in full, with the understanding that we will be brought into judgment for our errors in the pursuit (Ecclesiastes 11:9)
Thank you for preaching the truth Voddie! The world desperately needs the true undiluted Gospel. The culture has morphed into a monster that needs to be pierced with THE Sword.
I'll be very honest pastor this is my favorite book it's this one second would be James Hebrews Gospel etc I was in prison I got a hold of a study God I was happy I still have today from what I learned from the book was to make it short handle your business have discipline n every day will be different and everything will happen under the sun but it's love love book idk I guess how I was in prison I carried shame but I mean I was going tdcj ain't no joke
Amen, Hallelujah, Glory to God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us His Holy Spirit and leads us in the way everlasting for His names sake
Ecclesiastes’sis my favorite book. It is very much responsible for bringing me to our Lord. People to glass over and change the subject when I quote it endlessly. I had know idea that everyone didn’t love it as much as I. This sermons explained a lot 🙏🏻❤️💪🏼🕊️♾️
Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Basically, this verse teaches that the fear of God is foundational to true wisdom; all other types of learning are worthless unless built upon a knowledge of the Lord Himself. Many other passages talk about the fear of the Lord (e.g., Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7; 14:27; 15:33). Before we can understand how the fear of the Lord leads to wisdom, we need to define what the Bible means by “fear” in this context.
How and what defines the fear of God? I really want to know? Understanding His Holiness and Justice? His impossible Grace through Jesus death on the cross? Thanks! :)
My take away from this Sermon is this... the Beginning of wisdom and knowledge is the fear of God and the ends of knowledge is found in Jesus our Lord and Saviour 🙏 and our life's Journey is to discover this Knowledge so that we may possess eternal life. Lovely Sermon to start the day, may the Lord Bless Pastor Voddie and all who came to listen.
My favorite book in the bible is Ecclesiastes. I am always shocked to hear that people do not like this book. I have heard someone say that they thought this book was sarcasm. 🤨
The Bible Project breaks down Ecclesiastes in such a beautiful way -
Jesus said there WILL be trials and tribulations, so Dr. Baucham is spot on. Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon via the Holy Spirit just like every Book from Genesis to Revelation. Solomon wrote this Book and Proverbs while living under the Law, but the law/commands/ decrees of God were written by Moses. The Law that Jesus fulfilled for us because we are too sinful, rebellious and weak. Give God all the glory!
Well said
Excellent.
Glory be to God
Q😅 we 1
Amen 🙏
Sir, Ecclesiastes is my FAVOURITE BOOK. Rarely do preachers preach this. Thank God, we now have Voddie on to this text.
Same here man! No other book quite like it!
This sermon is one of Voddie's best by far! Thank you Voddie I enjoyed it and learned from it!❤
One of the greatest preachers ever i think
I agree. I speak about him to everyone .
@@donnamyers2025he preaches the word of God. He preaches the true.
God is very very good isn’t he? 🙏🏽👏🏽💖
Him and Billy Graham!
My favorite pastor, He's always preaching the undiluted words of God.
May Yahweh bless this man for his obedience and love for His ppl, his teachings have brought me so much closer to my Father, thank you Voddie for your life devoted to Gods ppl
Same here!
Ecclesiastes is my favorite book. 1:9 is my favorite verse “…there is nothing new under the sun.” Such a comfort to know everything we face today is nothing new. Those who fear the Lord and are wise to look to the past and are comforted.
Yes sir! God bless you brother!!
I love Ecclesiastes is one of my favourite books too :)
One of my favorite books as well. God bless you. 🙏🏻

The best truth is the truth of the gospel and bless this man for not compromising on it.
Blessed are all the faithful servants of Jesus who preach the truth via the Spirit of Truth.
Thank you, Dr Baucham for always preaching TRUTH!!!!
Ecclesiastes is my favorite book. Now you’ve met someone 😊
Was taught both, Wisdom as Law, seeking Earthly knowledge....yeah I was miserable for a loooong time. Did Evil with it too.

real man of God who preach what all men of God supposed to preach but not preached! May LORD bless this amazing man abundantly!
Love this book of the Bible
My life was forever changed
Lord thank you for Your servant Voddie! He is clearly filled with the Holy Ghost!
Ive been reading Ecclesiastes in the morning with my daughter and then last night during dinner I turned on TH-cam to find a video. This was my top recommendation when we opened the app on our tv and I’m so glad we watched this! I’m rewatching it again today.
God bless you Pastor!
I just had to pause this video to say a prayer of thanks for this sermon and for God’s word.
As a neurodiverse creative-minded person I needed to hear this humbling message! Praise YHWH
You are God sent…this is helping me to understand the why I thank you and pray that you continue to do God’s work! To God be the glory🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I am so thankful and blessed by Pastor Voddie’s teaching!
Voddie you are a modern day Solomon! As always the truth flows from The HOLY SPIRIT through you. Bless you brother!
this blessed me so much. Thank you Lord for this wonderful and great man of God.
What an amazing preacher and teacher. Thankyou.
God bless and keep Dr Baucham humble and teaching His word in this evil times where so many so called men of God don’t
Dr Voddie is a blessing to the body of Christ. May God bless you more man of God .
I finally decided to listen to this Pastor. I'm glad that I have. He explained that Solomon sought out knowledge and wisdom. Studied everything he could even when he asked The LORD GOD for wisdom. THE LORD provided it by making it available. Wow. Im at 50, and now I will seek earnestly.
Ecclesiastes has always been one of my favorite books
Loved this sermon. Praise The Lord for preachers like Bro. Voddie. The truth is still being preached!!
Amazing word. Ecclesiastes is top 5 favorites books for me.. it’s really amazing and it shows you that all is worthless unless you have God. All will perish, all is given away after you die.. but if you have Christ then you’ll be in glory forever after this world.
Brilliant. Your message spoke to me. God always sends a man. My prayers for you and your family that you will have the strength to resist the devil and fulfill the purpose God has for your life. To God be the glory.🙏
38:32 the fullness of wisdom is found only in Christ. Only in Christ
What a powerful man of God Voddie is. He is definitely anointed by God. Today's pastors have sold their souls to the devil. Voddie is filled with the Holy Spirit and we are blessed to be able to hear his messages.
No matter how challenging the path may seem, have faith that God is guiding your steps. With Him leading the way, you can overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. Amen.
I love the book of Ecclesiastes. It's full of wisdom especially that we are dependent on God for everything.
Prosperity teachers love to promise things but the Lord is sovereign. Honor your parents and you still might die young.
When I read Ecclesiastes I fell in love with it. It’s spoke so directly to my life-the pain, the suffering, the loss-and it allows the reader to know the wonderful teachings and admiration for life and Yah through sufferings and struggles. The rocky road prepares the feet for the next stretch of miles up ahead. 🙏🏻 praise the Most High at all times
Thank you brother voddie for all your sermons they are truly a blessing. God bless you and your loved ones .
I love Ecclesiastes
This is super powerful 😢. Thank you so much Dr. Baucham, I pray that the Lord Jesus will help us learn more and rest in Him.
Such a powerful message!
The whole matter is to surrender completely to God. Trust God completely because He alone is sovereign. Guard your heart against fear, bitterness, wickedness, covetousness, deceit, and disbelief.

Thank you, very clear explanation for us that want to follow every principle and law in hopes of a better life or future. I come to the place where I depend on him for every breath and anything more than that is a blessing and beyond.
I asked God for patience
He told me 'you are going to have to wait'
Preach it people needs the truth, God be with you always
This was my husband’s favorite book from the time he was in his 20s. He says, it helped him understand the gospel when he first converted.
This message came right on time. Just 2 nights ago I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep, the Holy Spirit lead me to read Ecclesiastes. I didn't question, I was just obedient.

I received the world. Man oh man this was for me to hear. Thank you Father and please blessed your messager Voddie Baucham. Wow!
