Sermon - Rev. Abigail Conley - Solomon Series 3

What does it mean that the King who built God's Temple looked out on the world and wrote, “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
    says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
    Everything is meaningless.

....

What has been will be again,
    what has been done will be done again;
    there is nothing new under the sun."
