Ecclesiastes: Finding Meaning in Every Moment

A five-week study beginning October 27 in the free First 5 mobile app.

God won’t waste your waiting, your wondering, or what you wish was different about your life.

Ecclesiastes points us to a simple but powerful truth: When our days are packed with nonstop commitments, chauffeuring kids, and endless tasks, life can start to feel empty — unless God is at the center. Because He’s the only One who can turn busy chaos into peace.

This study gives you permission to be honest about the tension that comes with the in-between and uncertain moments of life. King Solomon’s story wasn’t a neat or tidy one, but it points us to something deeper: a life filled with purpose that only God can provide.

Because what you call insignificant, God calls an invitation.

Here’s what our First 5 friends are saying…

I just went through the study of Genesis. All I can say is WOW! I have been reading the Bible for more years than I would like to say, and your study brought out so many truths I missed along the years. Thank you so much for the work you do putting these studies together. I thank God He showed me your page so many years ago. I pray He blesses you all as much as you have blessed us!

First 5 has gotten me on a path of studying God’s Word. It keeps me in the Word every day, not just reading words. With the help of your writers, I get meaning and understanding.

I love your app so much. I’m 69 years old and have had the goal of reading through the entire Bible for years. In 2019, I found your app. I started with the New Testament and then went on to the Old Testament. I thought I knew my Bible. Your app has introduced me to so many things. The first thing I do every morning is go out on my patio and read First 5. Then I pray. My life has been enriched so much. Thank you!
