In his sermon on Ecclesiastes 12:9–14, Stephen Davey explains that Solomon closes his journal by pointing readers to the only true purpose of life: fearing God and obeying His Word. Solomon reflects on his role as a teacher of God’s truth, reminding readers that Scripture is both painfully honest and firmly anchored, given by the one true Shepherd. Davey emphasizes that wisdom from God is meant to prod, correct, and nail truth securely into the heart—not entertain or impress. Solomon then distills life into three priorities: worship God, obey His commands, and live in preparation for final judgment. Davey concludes that meaning is found not in living “under the sun,” but in walking daily with the Son, knowing that every life will ultimately stand before God.
