The first eight verses of Ecclesiastes 3 present a poem using opposites to show that God is in control of both the positive and the negative aspects of time. It is clear from this statement that the Teacher means to communicate the totality of life, from birth and death, to human emotions, and to world affairs. All of these things are under the control of the sovereign God. This sovereignty of God should make humans stand in “awe of Him.”
We hope that your time together will propel those in your groups to stand in awe of God! We appreciate you all so much!
Gratefully,
Joe and Kaylan
