Conference 2011 - 16th March 2011

 

The fourth Partners in the Gospel conference entitled

The Drama of Redemption

focused this year on preaching from narrative texts. This event aims to mould and deepen our convictions about the centrality of biblical teaching, and to promote faithful, authoritative preaching in Scotland.

 

The conference has grown over the last three years, and we were blessed this year, as we welcomed Jonathan Lamb as our keynote speaker. Jonathan travels round the world in his role as Director of Langham Preaching, training both new and experienced preachers, and establishing networks that encourage faithful, relevant and passionate biblical preaching.

He brought two keynote addresses that will help us uncover some of the riches we find in biblical stories.

 

Seminars

Following the success of last year, we offered two preachers’ workshops. Edward Lobb, director of Cornhill Scotland, was back to offer a workshop for beginners, while Jonathan provided a more advanced workshop for established preachers, on the vital subject of how we can prepare the next generation of preachers.

 

In addition, Ian Shaw continued his very helpful series, drawing lessons from the lives of great preachers from the past who faced similar challenges to ourselves. This year he looked at 'Jonathan Edwards: The Preacher as Community Theologian'

 

All this, together with an opportunity for Questions and Answers, the chance to share lunch and encourage each other in our preaching, as well as a preacher-specific bookstall, meant there was much in this day to inspire and bless our ministry.
