Sermon: What matters most Rick T

Eccl 7:2-4 A wise man thinks of death,  because it reminds us of what matters most in our lives.  Life is a precious gift,and if we are wise, we will spend it wisely.
Life apart from living for God is meaningless. Eccl 2:12-16.
1. Since each day is a gift, we need to treasure people and our time with them. Eccl 9:9 invest in those around you, seek to bless them, treasure them
2. Since each day is a gift, we need to treasure our day to day lives. Eccl 5:18-20, 2:24-25, 3:12-13, 7:14, 5:15, 4:6, 2:1-11, 5:10-11, 6:9 Enjoy what we have, but remember we can't take it with us. Stuff does not equal satisfaction.
3. Since each day is a gift, what matters most is to treasure God above all else. Eccl 12:9-14 Fear God and keep his commands, honor, worship, obey Him. Trust in Him.
