All Is Vanity, or Is It?

In this sermon Gary Smith talks about how his view of the book of Ecclesiastes has changed over the years. When he first came into the church he viewed the book as very negative as many people do. He goes on to show how his view of the book has changed over the years and with a detailed study of chapter 1 shows us some of the important principles covered in the book.
