The Limits Of Wisdom And Knowledge | Ecclesiastes 1: 12-18 | Voddie Baucham

Sunday Morning Service 18/02/2024

[@Tonyanevangelist]

Jesus said there WILL be trials and tribulations, so Dr. Baucham is spot on. Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon via the Holy Spirit just like every Book from Genesis to Revelation. Solomon wrote this Book and Proverbs while living under the Law, but the law/commands/ decrees of God were written by Moses. The Law that Jesus fulfilled for us because we are too sinful, rebellious and weak. Give God all the glory!

[@natburg3208]

Well said

[@EGfocus33]

Excellent.

[@judgec3187]

Glory be to God

[@gwendolyn8004]

Ecclesiastes is my favorite book. Now you’ve met someone 😊

[@user-hb1wx1pd4v]

One of the greatest preachers ever i think

[@donnamyers2025]

I agree. I speak about him to everyone .

[@binyam5783]

​@@donnamyers2025he preaches the word of God. He preaches the true.

[@Idkjustyet]

God is very very good isn’t he? 🙏🏽👏🏽💖

[@Msrussianbeauty20]

Him and Billy Graham!

[@jamelwirewulu851]

My favorite pastor, He's always preaching the undiluted words of God.

[@householdsix1307]

Thank you, Dr Baucham for always preaching TRUTH!!!!

[@cycletrade2276]

My wife and I have the habit of reading through the Bible over and over again and then listening to expository preaching on the passages we read. So, we came to Ecclesiastes this morning and in searching for messages came upon yours. We were blessed by the truth brought forth in your sermon

[@joeldio2]

Sir, Ecclesiastes is my FAVOURITE BOOK. Rarely do preachers preach this. Thank God, we now have Voddie on to this text.

[@kingston5469]

Same here man! No other book quite like it!

[@shaylawireman7793]

May Yahweh bless this man for his obedience and love for His ppl, his teachings have brought me so much closer to my Father, thank you Voddie for your life devoted to Gods ppl

[@WalkByFaith24]

Same here!

[@TrayArthur]

Ecclesiastes is my favorite book. 1:9 is my favorite verse “…there is nothing new under the sun.” Such a comfort to know everything we face today is nothing new. Those who fear the Lord and are wise to look to the past and are comforted.

[@theobachmann8550]

Yes sir! God bless you brother!!

[@Randompancakes12345]

I love Ecclesiastes is one of my favourite books too :)

[@milton5417]

One of my favorite books as well. God bless you. 🙏🏻

[@JayBeenCbosen]

I get it’s you guys favorite book, but do you understand what he saying. This book IS NOT LAW. Its just wisdom, something King Solomon wrote through the Holy Spirit from his experiences.

[@paul8220]

Mine too

[@GamsisYadessa]

real man of God who preach what all men of God supposed to preach but not preached! May LORD bless this amazing man abundantly!

[@Hischild0712]

One of my all time favorite speakers of God's Word

[@larrylazza3157]

The best truth is the truth of the gospel and bless this man for not compromising on it.

[@Tonyanevangelist]

Blessed are all the faithful servants of Jesus who preach the truth via the Spirit of Truth.

[@daniellefawn]

Ive been reading Ecclesiastes in the morning with my daughter and then last night during dinner I turned on KZbin to find a video. This was my top recommendation when we opened the app on our tv and I’m so glad we watched this! I’m rewatching it again today. God bless you Pastor!

[@hashiraboy5179]

Love this book of the Bible My life was forever changed

[@MNIGN56]

I finally decided to listen to this Pastor. I'm glad that I have. He explained that Solomon sought out knowledge and wisdom. Studied everything he could even when he asked The LORD GOD for wisdom. THE LORD provided it by making it available. Wow. Im at 50, and now I will seek earnestly.

[@belobelo9923]

beautiful! message! in Christ only

[@thenarrowgate3063]

Voddie you are a modern day Solomon! As always the truth flows from The HOLY SPIRIT through you. Bless you brother!

[@virginiafreeman2855]

You are God sent…this is helping me to understand the why I thank you and pray that you continue to do God’s work! To God be the glory🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@jasonhilbert3750]

What an amazing preacher and teacher. Thankyou.

[@jazzman1626]

I just had to pause this video to say a prayer of thanks for this sermon and for God’s word.

[@jamesboyer8596]

Prosperity teachers love to promise things but the Lord is sovereign. Honor your parents and you still might die young.

[@sanyalandingham8110]

this blessed me so much. Thank you Lord for this wonderful and great man of God.

[@Loba4418]

God Bless you Brother Voddie🙏✝️👑🕊️📜💙

[@luismiranda1985]

God bless and keep Dr Baucham humble and teaching His word in this evil times where so many so called men of God don’t

[@maudreyb438]

Brilliant. Your message spoke to me. God always sends a man. My prayers for you and your family that you will have the strength to resist the devil and fulfill the purpose God has for your life. To God be the glory.🙏

[@Msrussianbeauty20]

Lord thank you for Your servant Voddie! He is clearly filled with the Holy Ghost!

[@NeerajVaswani]

38:32 the fullness of wisdom is found only in Christ. Only in Christ

[@jixxytrix1705]

I asked God for patience He told me 'you are going to have to wait'

[@Chilledbaconstrip]

As a neurodiverse creative-minded person I needed to hear this humbling message! Praise YHWH

[@duniashukurani3128]

Dr Voddie is a blessing to the body of Christ. May God bless you more man of God .

[@marvinellison8727]

Amen HalleluYAH! Profound and powerful sermon.

[@philobailey5627]

I love the book of Ecclesiastes. It's full of wisdom especially that we are dependent on God for everything.

[@JohnMoog-ug6bk]

Wonderful sermon - strong case for what used to be called “right reason,” against the notorious Cult of Reason

[@heatherreddish9286]

Loved this sermon. Praise The Lord for preachers like Bro. Voddie. The truth is still being preached!!

[@asmitashaw5602]

Thank you brother voddie for all your sermons they are truly a blessing. God bless you and your loved ones .

[@TheRadiostar72]

Ecclesiastes’sis my favorite book. It is very much responsible for bringing me to our Lord. People to glass over and change the subject when I quote it endlessly. I had know idea that everyone didn’t love it as much as I. This sermons explained a lot 🙏🏻❤️💪🏼🕊️♾️

[@rebeccafreeman2872]

This is super powerful 😢. Thank you so much Dr. Baucham, I pray that the Lord Jesus will help us learn more and rest in Him.

[@serge488]

Amazing word. Ecclesiastes is top 5 favorites books for me.. it’s really amazing and it shows you that all is worthless unless you have God. All will perish, all is given away after you die.. but if you have Christ then you’ll be in glory forever after this world.

[@roberthimselfisblankslate1862]

Ecclesiastes has always been one of my favorite books

[@heathercampbell9697]

Such a powerful message!

[@molatelomathoko6507]

Thank you for this word.

[@SanctifiedLady]

Thank you, very clear explanation for us that want to follow every principle and law in hopes of a better life or future. I come to the place where I depend on him for every breath and anything more than that is a blessing and beyond.

[@jacquelineharrell4605]

I am so thankful and blessed by Pastor Voddie’s teaching!

[@BibleBrainTeaser-zz7oe]

No matter how challenging the path may seem, have faith that God is guiding your steps. With Him leading the way, you can overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. Amen.

[@eliara-thevoice8430]

Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Basically, this verse teaches that the fear of God is foundational to true wisdom; all other types of learning are worthless unless built upon a knowledge of the Lord Himself. Many other passages talk about the fear of the Lord (e.g., Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7; 14:27; 15:33). Before we can understand how the fear of the Lord leads to wisdom, we need to define what the Bible means by “fear” in this context.

[@joelmillion2711]

I am always amazed at how God confirms His Word thru faithful pastors . My pastor just preached on this very subject Sunday. I assume I will hear a third teaching on this or read something in the bible confirming these truths

[@nicolespencer-phillips4674]

This message came right on time. Just 2 nights ago I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep, the Holy Spirit lead me to read Ecclesiastes. I didn't question, I was just obedient. After reading it I said I'm going to have to do some studying on this, then God had me come across this video. I so appreciate this man of God's teachings.

[@willyoung2347]

The opening of this sermon is so powerful, giving me a new look at how I received the world. Man oh man this was for me to hear. Thank you Father and please blessed your messager Voddie Baucham. Wow!

[@leanagonzalez467]

This was my husband’s favorite book from the time he was in his 20s. He says, it helped him understand the gospel when he first converted.

[@annabender300]

The whole matter is to surrender completely to God. Trust God completely because He alone is sovereign. Guard your heart against fear, bitterness, wickedness, covetousness, deceit, and disbelief.

[@Gabriel-ry9df]

People today don't know what they have. When they realize the potential they have in God,all these things really won't matter. The word of God says that 'heaven and earth will pass away, but my Word will never pass away '.

[@julie.daytona]

I love Ecclesiastes!! 9: 3 - This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

[@brandonstrange6978]

Blue looks good on you Voddie.

[@rebekah4405]

Preach it people needs the truth, God be with you always

[@larrydawsonsr.9462]

Preacher Teacher!

[@nicholaspropst5590]

Amen

[@jefffiske874]

I fell in love with Ecclesiastes exactly for the reason pastor Voddie says most do not like it. It hit me earlier this year as I did my morning devotional and I realized that a while hearted pursuit of wisdom was the source of Solomon’s wisdom. Not a natural endowment. I saw clearly that Solomon pursued pleasure and gained wisdom in that pursuit. I saw the beauty in gaining experience and pursuing life in full, with the understanding that we will be brought into judgment for our errors in the pursuit (Ecclesiastes 11:9)

[@MarkusKoellmann]

Praise God for this sermon. 🙌🏽

[@graciethankful4643]

AMEN ❤🙏 😊😊

[@greggreermusic6991]

I think the gifting of God and the love for him is to Him from Him forever. My desire for the word of God is a gift. I am so glade God is generous. All of our abilities are from God and He deserves all the praise. Lean not on your understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your pathway straight!

[@MrJackson-um8bk]

amen

[@damarrbrown4915]

This helped me and edified me

[@pamela_amor]

On point bro, on point

[@aaronhall5157]

Thank you for preaching the truth Voddie! The world desperately needs the true undiluted Gospel. The culture has morphed into a monster that needs to be pierced with THE Sword.

[@user-hb1wx1pd4v]

Sadly you are correct!!

Eccleciastes has been my favorite book since I re read bible first year of college . But hey I am wierd

[@jaxson_No_numbers_after_name]

Glory to GOD.

[@thewanderersguide4568]

It's one of my favorite books.

[@leonardwilliams7772]

When first saved, i was told that Ecclesiastes, was considered the most difficult book to understand. I was told the same thing about reading mere christianity. I found both, to be clear, sensible, and quite easy to get. Im 62, i can use the phones to call, and get on a web site, beyond that, i do NOT, wish to know these things. When introduced in 2007, i said emphatically, that these things mean big trouble. I naturally go to paper maps. See, tech, is like a man, running down a hill. I can PROMISE, IF HE IS NOT CAREFUL, AND RUNS TOO FAST, HE WILL FACE PLANT, HEAD OVER TEA KETTLE, HARD. Same with tech. Tech is knowledge, but not wisdom.wisdom, can only be good. Knowledge can be good, or evil, equally. Bad knowledge teaches us, in a different direction.

[@juliecantina8479]

Amen, Hallelujah, Glory to God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us His Holy Spirit and leads us in the way everlasting for His names sake

[@alfonsosalas6522]

I love the book of Ecclesiastes it has grounded me 😅 lol praise be to God! King of the universe 🎉🎉

[@patrickc3419]

0:44-0:53 It’s funny he said that; Ecclesiastes is indeed one of my favorite Old Testament books. 🙂

[@jeffryferdian9556]

No man in this world can ever say “I figured it out.”

[@lindimashinini7237]

My take away from this Sermon is this... the Beginning of wisdom and knowledge is the fear of God and the ends of knowledge is found in Jesus our Lord and Saviour 🙏 and our life's Journey is to discover this Knowledge so that we may possess eternal life. Lovely Sermon to start the day, may the Lord Bless Pastor Voddie and all who came to listen.

[@vincentmartinez2096]

Ecclesiastes has always been my favorite book of the Bible... Js

My favorite book in the bible is Ecclesiastes. I am always shocked to hear that people do not like this book. I have heard someone say that they thought this book was sarcasm. 🤨

I love Ecclesiastes!! ❤️

[@thomask6788]

Another Great lesson on the word of the Bible 🙏

[@kaiserkoheleth]

Ecclesiastes is my favorite book, for sure. It is a brilliant building of a Tower of Babel, of sorts, by Solomon. Just how close can we get to what God provides us in purpose and direction purely based on human reasoning? That tower of worldly philosophy is shown to be far too short to bring man to the purpose and fulfillment that God can provide him.

[@kingston5469]

You know I'm probably the only dude whose favorite book of the Bible is Ecclesiastes

[@thomasboston1887]

Luke 18:17

[@PraveenKumar-sr6ne]

Edified. A most insightful, practical message. Christians are not to be averse to knowledge (of nature as Pastor. concisely puts it), but ....... run sway from knowledge of good & evil

[@robertgrayson8778]

1 Kings 3:1-15 Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” 6 Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day. 7 “Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?” 10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, 12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for-both wealth and honor-so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.” 15 Then Solomon awoke-and he realized it had been a dream.

[@dawidbenyahudahisrael6959]

Great! Great teaching! Many are seeing “wisdom as law”. Law gives you a result every time. Wisdom is just principle to live by. However, things can and will go wrong no matter how much wisdom one has.

[@RechurchedTV_10]

God's sovereignty can never be overlooked
