We begin our study of the book of Ecclesiastes by exploring one of its most important chapters: chapter 3. It begins with these words: “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” Our efforts to control our lives are futile. Only God is in charge of time. Scriptures referenced include Ecclesiastes 8:6; Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, 11; John 2:4; Galatians 4:4; Matthew 24:42; Ephesians 5:16; and Colossians 4:15.
This episode features dramatized audio from Ecclesiastes 3 and an excerpt from a rendition of the song, “In His Time.”
Joel is the 2nd book of the Minor Prophets. Little is known about the man after whom this is named. His name combines the covenant name of God, Yahweh, and the generic name for God, El.
