2011 National Conference - The Gospel Coalition

Many pastors and Bible teachers hunger to handle the Old Testament with more confidence—in the same way that New Testament writers handle it, in a way that understands how and why the New Testament writers treat the Old Testament as they do, and so arrive at Jesus and the Gospel. We might have begun by working through a number of New Testament passages where the Old is quoted, but we decided to start at the other end.

This way we may hope to model how a selection of Old Testament texts might be taught or preached—all in the hope of better learning how to teach and preach the whole counsel of God, how to become workers who do not need to be ashamed as we handle the Word of truth.

This has the makings of a doozy of a conference. Not just because the speaker list reads like a who's who among Gospel-centric preachers/teachers in America today either. The REAL dooziness (patented coinage of term) of this conference is in the subject matter being addressed. Namely, preaching Jesus and the GOSPEL from the Old Testament!!! Reading Graeme Goldsworthy has definitely whet my apetite to hear/learn more about what is the central theme in all of Scripture. I am AT THE VERY least, excited to hear the sermons online that originate from this conference. AT THE VERY MOST, however, my wife and I will be front and center. Looking at the scheduled workshops is also real reason for us to find ourselves in Chicago in April. I don't know what your plans are for April 12-14th but if the Lord wills, and our plans converge me and my bride will see you there.
