Ben Grisez - Ecclesiastes 12:1-14 Remember Now Your Creator

Calvary Chapel Sydney

Synopsis: The Preacher concludes his investigation and experiences into the vanity and meaninglessness of life under the sun by wisely turning to God and living in remembrance of Him. More than a mental exercise, remembering is a call to take action in light of what is true. Man's purpose is not achieved in what we acquire or accomplish, but to fear God Who will bring our fleeting lives into eternal judgment.
