WHY AM I HERE
Why Am I Here
Kenton Beshore
Reverend: Welcome to all of you and all of our video experiences, we’re glad that you’re here. Welcome to all of you even in the chapel, we are glad you’re here this morning. Would you pull out your outline, we’re beginning a new series in the Book of Ecclesiastes. For the next six or seven weeks, we’re going to go through the Book of Ecclesiastes and its titled Thirsty and the reason is, is because the Book of Ecclesiastes asks the questions of life. Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life? Where do I find happiness? What’s the secret to life?

Because you ask what’s the benefit? What do I have to show for it? If I go and stand out there for four or five hours, what do I get out of that? What do you get out of that? What’s ultimately the benefit for it? And I say, just go out and stand there, you would say, why? And the point is this, if you won’t go out and stand on a corner for four hours without knowing why, what’s the benefit, what the payoff? How can you ...
