Read: Ecclesiastes 1:1-11. Ask God to bless your study.

1. What are your impressions of the book of Ecclesiastes?

2. Explain the meaning of “vanity” (v. 2) in your own words.

3. What is the significance of the repeated phrase “under the sun” in this chapter? How does it frame the perspective from which the Preacher is speaking?

4. Can you think of instances when you felt successful “under the sun,” only to find that in time you were dissatisfied again?

5. How can it be liberating, rather than frustrating, to know that life is repetitive (vv. 5-8)?

6. How might Ecclesiastes 1 challenge modern ideas of progress, productivity, or success?

7. In what ways does this chapter confront or confirm your own view of life’s purpose and meaning?
