'Brevity of brevities, all is brevity.’ This was Greg Gilbert’s take on the famous words of Ecclesiastes.

As the keynote speaker at the Grace Baptist Association Day in London this October, he took us through a more positive approach to life in Ecclesiastes, inviting young and old to see life as a gift from God on the way to eternity. Yes, life is brief, and easily slips away from us, but we are to live life to the full, and not treat God as a dry legalist but as a joy-giver. God hasn’t finished with us till He calls us home.

Greg is pastor of Third Avenue Baptist Church, Louisville, Kentucky. He also lead an afternoon session where he applied four central gospel questions to our culture and times.
