The Hidden Gift of "Hevel": Finding Meaning and Fulfillment in a World of Futility and Frustration

We all long for productivity, purpose, success, and satisfaction in our endeavors, and yet these longings are constantly frustrated. To paraphrase the teacher of Ecclesiastes, all our efforts appear meaningless, "a chasing after the wind." Yet what appears to be a cruel setup is actually God's way of freeing us from the things that will never bring the fulfillment for which we were made. This breakout will focus on explaining the challenges we face as we work in this broken world, as well as identify how God uses futility to work on us, fulfilling us in him as we become like him and giving our work new and unimaginable meaning.
