Title:
William D. Gates - "What I See - What I Do" (January 15, 1984)
Description:

  • The preacher considers the weight of the assertion made by the author of Ecclesiastes that all our work is in vain because we can neither keep the fruits of it when we die nor can we change the larger scope of history through it. In light of this, the preacher exhorts that we should focus on small, daily actions that build a bond of kinship and love for one another and the earth. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 31:03. Sermon end time: (Part 2) 1:13.

  • Key quotation: “To live wholeheartedly in this world today is to affirm life and acknowledge this gift from God.”
