General Notes:

Ecclesiastes‬

Ecclesiastes 11:9-10 Rejoice, young person, while you are young, and let your heart be glad in the days of your youth. And walk in the ways of your heart and in the desire of your eyes; but know that for all of these things God will bring you to judgment. 10 Remove sorrow from your heart, and put away pain from your flesh, because youth and the prime of life are fleeting.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Matthew 6:19-21 19 “Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves don’t break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

1: How did you relate with Solomon’s message about the aging process in Ecclesiastes Chapter 12? What personal experiences can you share that relate to this message? (We’ve all got them LOL)

2: We talked through the message about making a “Kingdom Impact.” What does “Kingdom Impact” mean to you, and how can we apply this concept in our daily lives?

3: This week’s message discusses the futility of earthly pleasures. How do you balance enjoying life’s pleasures while maintaining a focus on spiritual growth and kingdom impact?

4: This week’s message emphasizes the importance of self-denial for the good of others. How can we practice self-denial in our communities, and what impact might it have?

5: Reflect on the closing question: “What will you be remembered for?” How do you want to be remembered, and what steps can you take now to ensure you leave a lasting kingdom impact?
