Ecclesiastes 4:4-16
Sermon notes @ http://bible.com/e/138I
Ecclesiastes 4:4-16
Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a
man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a
striving after wind.
5 The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh.
6 Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of
toil and a striving after wind.
7Again, I saw vanity under the sun: 8 one person who
has no other, either son or brother, yet there is no end to
all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches, so
that he never asks, “For whom am I toiling and
depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity and
an unhappy business.
9 Two
are better than one, because they have a good
reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his
fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and
has not another to lift him up! 11 Again, if two lie
together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm
alone? 12 And though a man might prevail against one
who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord
is not quickly broken.
13 Better
was a poor and wise youth than an old and
foolish king who no longer knew how to take
advice. 14 For he went from prison to the throne, though
in his own kingdom he had been born poor. 15 I saw all
the living who move about under the sun, along with
that youth who was to stand in the king's place. 16 There
was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet
those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this
also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Gospel Application:
1)What is robbing us of rest?
2)When we are alone where do we turn?
3) How will the Gospel cause us to rest in Jesus and remind
each other of this as the only Hope for the World?
Do this in
remembrance
of me…
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not
reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful
giver.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you,
that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed
took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it,
and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in
remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the
cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant
in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread
and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he
comes.
