Reviving the Black Church
H.B. Charles joins Mark Dever and Thabiti Anyabwile to discuss Thabiti’s latest book, “Reviving the Black Church.” What might the larger body of Christ glean from the strengths of the black church? What might we think about monochromatic churches given what Revelation depicts about God’s kingdom? As pastor H.B. says, “biblical discipleship is committed to reaching all the nations.”

Ryan Fullerton
Ryan Fullerton was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and grew up all over western Canada. Throughout his teen years, he pursued political causes to make him feel righteous, and then drugs and sex to make him feel happy. Thankfully, when he was 21 he found his righteousness was a joke and his happiness had turned sour. Through the simple and intelligent witness of his step-mom, he came to trust Jesus Christ late in the evening just before Good Friday in 1995. Shortly after his conversion, he studied at Prairie Bible College in Three Hills, Alberta, and then at Tyndale College in Toronto, Ontario. In Toronto, Ryan worked in an inner city church under the leadership of Dr. Stephen Beck. He also met the lovely Christy Joy Teal who became Christy Joy Fullerton shortly after their graduation from college. The next eight years were a whirlwind and included drilling for oil, pastoring a church in a town with a population of 311, having four children (Jordana, Luke, James, and Christopher), starting seminary, stopping seminary, and becoming the Lead Pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church in Louisville, KY.

Hymns and Congregational Singing
Martin Luther believed that congregational singing was absolutely critical to every part of what The Reformation was about. Why would Luther not let a man to preach or teach if he did not know the power of sacred music? Why is singing not only a command but a joy and a privilege? And what does this mean for the local church? Join Keith Getty as he discusses these issues and others.

Acts 29
Why is Matt Chandler compelled by the Bible that the end game of missions and evangelism is always the establishment of a local congregation that is serious about the word of God and making disciples. In this breakout session, Chandler suggests that adoration for Christ leads to multiplication via evangelism and ultimately church planting. Any missions that doesn’t have as its end goal church planting is an exercise in futility. Rather than one ever increasing mega-church, God is after the planting of churches for his name. Join Matt Chandler here to learn about Acts29.

God’s Glory as the Base of our Courage (Romans 11:33-36)
Matt Chandler only gets three words into this sermon’s text before stopping to exalt our sovereign God. Encouraging pastors to not bow to cultural pressures, Chandler exalts in the strength of God’s omnipotence. Chandler reviews a recent trip he took to Rome, where he saw how the world’s strongest empire—which tried to exterminate Christians—lies in ruins yet Christ’s reigns in victory. Thus, “Christian courage inflamed and informed by the glory of God will be the undoing of every empire against the kingdom of God.” Take heart, brothers and sisters.

The Reformation Began with Paul: Justification the Same Yesterday, Today & Forevermore
We speak often of the Reformation recovering the doctrine of justification, which is fine and good, but that recovery was accomplished by the recovery of Scripture itself. This is important: We are not Reformed because the Reformers are our heroes. If we genuinely Reformed it’s because we believe that “Reformed” is an adequate summary of what the Bible teaches about key points of doctrine and a particular worldview. May God give us grace to be the kind of people who build our theology from the Bible up. May God’s word rule over us.

Sustained in Suffering by the Saga of Job
Normally, when we consider the Reformers, we consider the theological revolution they brought about; this consideration is good and right. One aspect of the Reformers we often skip over, however, is that these men were fundamentally pastors. As such, the Reformers lent great pastoral contributions that we can receive much encouragement from especially in the midst of our suffering.
