Sacramento Gospel Conference

As we’ve been letting you know, the annual Sacramento Gospel Conference is just over a week away.  It will take place on Friday, May 6 (7-9:30pm), and Saturday, May 7 (9:00am – 4:30pm), at Immanuel Baptist Church in midtown Sacramento.  The cost is $30/person (or less, if you’re only able to attend one of the days).  Registration information is here.

 

This year’s conference is on the theme of “The Gospel and Our Modern Culture”.  Local church pastors Brian Croft & Greg Gilbert (who serve different congregations in Louisville, KY), will be speaking.  Both men are faithful shepherds among God’s flock, and they’ve each written a number of helpful books.

 

Beloved, I encourage you to take advantage of this great opportunity to sit under the ministry of God’s word in an extended, undistracted way.  Likewise, fellowship with other believers from the greater Sacramento area is always a great blessing.  As our culture becomes more and more ungodly, and hostility against Christ and His people becomes more and more overt, our need for being equipped as faithful gospel proclaimers is always urgent.  I hope you can be a part of the conference!

 

Please be praying that God would work through His word at the conference to bear much fruit for His glory (Jn. 15:8)!

 

Because Christ lives, and is returning,

Revelation 7:9-12

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

Together for the Gospel Conference

The biennial Together for the Gospel Conference takes place next week (April 12-14) in Louisville, KY.  Over 10,000 brothers and sisters in Christ, from all over the world, will be gathering for 3 days of preaching from God’s word, singing, praying, fellowship, and networking.  While the conference is generally geared toward pastors, missionaries, and church-leaders, many wives attend, along with others who serve in various areas of ministry.  This year Laurie and I have the privilege of attending, for which we’re very grateful.

 

I encourage you to check out the conference theme, and also the Affirmations & Denials expressing just what we’re “together” about!  Likewise, the main sessions of the conference will be live-streamed beginning next Tuesday, April. 12.  Finally, you can also find audio and video from previous conferences.

 

Please be praying that God will work through His word, by His Holy Spirit, to hallow His holy Name, advance His kingdom, and accomplish His will (Mt. 6:9-10).
