Lance Quinn — Seminar Session 1

This session was a Q & A between Lance Quinn and Heath Lambert on the topic of Heath Lambert’s book, The Biblical Counseling Movement After Adams. Very helpful. Seminar Session 1.doc

John MacArthur — SC General Session 1

After the end of Mark, is there a section in my Bible that doesn’t belong in it? And how many more sections are like that? Was my last message to be on a passage that shouldn’t be here, and does it undermine our confidence in Scripture? Is my Bible accurate? Is it trustworthy? If this […]

Shepherds’ Conference about to begin

The Shepherds’ Conference is beginning in 15 minutes. Grateful to be here and praying for God’s blessing.

Headed to the Shepherds’ Conference

Tomorrow morning, a group from GBC boards a plane and heads to California for the Shepherds’ Conference. Encouraging fellowship + book shopping + excellent, heart-challenging preaching = a week of refreshment and encouragement. Grateful for the opportunity to go! (I intend to post updates from each session after they end.)

Shepherds’ Conference seminars

The Shepherds’ Conference begins three weeks from today. Grace Community Church has posted some videos explaining some of the seminars scheduled for the conference. Here are some of the speakers talking about their seminars: Steve Lawson on C. H. Spurgeon — “The Evangelistic Zeal of a 19th Century Calvinist:” Lance Quinn on “The Biblical Counseling […]

Shepherds’ Conference registration

Registration for the 2012 Shepherds’ Conference (March 7-12) is now open. And even better news is that the cost for the conference for early registration is $250 instead of the normal $300.

Shepherds’ Conference summary

The audio for last week’s Shepherds’ Conference is now available. All sessions can be downloaded for free — a great gift from Grace Church! As I have done the past couple of years, I’ve scanned through my notes and pulled some of the statements from each session/preacher that were significant, helpful, encouraging and beneficial to […]

Session 9 – John MacArthur

The last session of the Shepherds’ Conference was John MacArthur. The only authority we have is when we speak that which God has spoken. And that makes it a horrendous thing when evangelicals come along and make it a virtue to be “humble,” and to obscure the meaning of the text. 9-MacArthur General Session.pdf

Session 8 – Steve Lawson

Wherever a spiritual famine exists, there can be no spiritual fruit. Pulpits dry up. Preachers become droughts without rain. Churches become dust bowls. People begin to die on the vine. This is precisely what the prophet Amos said in his day. It was the best of times politically and culturally. Jeroboam II was the King […]

Seminar 4 – Jim Pile

There are spiritual highs and lows in ministry — Ps. 23 echoes both themes. Cf. also Ps. 55:13, 20, 21; 56:1-2, 5-6. Sometimes this is the result of struggling with the lust of the flesh or the lust of the yes and the boastful pride of life. And others are struggling with the betrayal of […]

Session 7 – Nathan Busenitz

For many this verse is trivialized — a personal motto or motivation. It has become a declaration of personal empowerment — winning a football game, losing weight, or gaining a job. Out of context, it is a boost of personal self-confidence. But in context, it has a very specific and different meaning. In context it […]

Session 6 – Al Mohler

It’s a mystery why Apollos is so neglected. In the NT, there are only 10 verses that refer to Apollos, but in these verses, we learn much about Apollos and why he should be a model for us. 6-Mohler General Session.pdf

Seminar 3 – Jesse Johnson

The church has been given a mission: evangelism; and this is unique in the history of the world. A soup kitchen without the gospel is ineffectual and misses the point of the mission of the church. The church’s goal is not to eliminate hunger and poverty. Johnson, Missional Madness.pdf

Session 5 – MacArthur Q and A

A Q & A with John MacArthur — quite a bit of interesting personal interaction. 5-MacArthur General Session.pdf
