Is Life Worth Living?

In this opening message of the Relatable series, Michael Treat opens with raw personal transparency, sharing about a season of deep despair following the sudden death of his best friend, and uses that honesty to invite the college group into an equally honest look at the book of Ecclesiastes. He walks through Solomon's journey from despair to resolution, tracing how the wisest man who ever lived wrestled with feelings of insignificance, ignorance, dissatisfaction, and mortality before arriving at truth. Michael unpacks each of Solomon's partial truths and reframes them through Scripture, showing how God's purpose, providence, and perspective transform the way we see life. He closes by calling the students to resolve to live by faith, realize that life is a gift, and respond with rejoicing, repentance, and obedience, especially while they are young, because life is only truly worth living when it is anchored in Christ.
