Building Great commission Families Conference

Here is the conference I'll be speaking at the first weekend of February called BUILDING GREAT COMMISSION FAMILIES.  I highly recommend everyone try going (and not just because I'm one of the speakers).  The topics being discussed are important for us to understand and there will be plenty of worship, fellowship, and of course, food.

My talk will be on adoption and it should be a fascinating discussion.  Adoption is something I want our church to take more seriously.

Here's the flyer for the conference

We're Back: Together For the Gospel

I had the opportunity to attend the bi-annual pastors conference in Louisville, KY called Together for the Gospel.  The speakers are among my favorite in modern Evangelicalism.  This year the theme was on the Unajusted Gospel.  In case your interested, here are some interesting links from the conference.

To watch the videos of the conference, click here.  Here is the video of my favorite sermon from Dr. John MacArthur:
