Meaningful Community (Ecclesiastes 4:4–16)
Loneliness is a universal human experience. We long for community and companionship. Yet while there is wonderful meaning to be found in relationship, under the sun even relationships prove to be unsatisfactory and a striving after the wind. Nevertheless, we were made for community, and only in Christ can we recover and experience it according to God’s design.

In the pursuit of contentment, people have unsuccessfully chased many different avenues as a means to find fulfilment. Our problem is that we “can’t get no satisfaction” through any earthly means. Only in God’s economy is there a means of finding true and lasting contentment.
