Lead: Wrapping up Ecclesiastes…don’t miss the big BAM! at the end.

Intro: Today’s reading runs a little long, so no definition today. And yesterday I told you we’d tackle both Psalms 9 and 10, but then I spent more time on defining common grace that I should have, so today we’ll get in Psalm 10 consistent with The Bible Project’s reading plan.

Welcome to day twelve of the recording-from-the-road roadshow!

Watch our overview video on the book of Ecclesiastes, which breaks down the literary design of the book and its flow of thought. This book forces us to face death and random chance, and the challenges they pose to a naive belief in God's goodness. #Ecclesiastes #TheBibleProject #BibleVideo
In this book we hear the skeptical voice of "the teacher." He observes that living by the book of Proverbs doesn't always bring positive results. Sometimes life is hard and defies neat explanations. How do you live with that tension, and still strive for wisdom? Ecclesiastes is the second of the three biblical wisdom books.
