Transcribe →CHRIST’S ATONING WORK FOR THE NATIONS
Jun 29, 202300:59:40Tap to summarizeChad Vegas—CHRIST'S ATONING WORK FOR THE NATIONS The Apostle Paul spoke of his driving ambition to "preach the gospel where Christ had not been named." When Paul spoke these words, he saw them in line with Isaiah 52:15—the coming of the suffering servant, and His atoning work for the "nations." This session will press toward that atoning work of Christ and the church's work of proclaiming that atonement to the ends of the earth.

Transcribe →EMPTYING THE CROSS OF ITS POWER: HONOR/SHAME AND THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST
Jun 29, 202300:58:34Tap to summarizeAubrey Sequeira—EMPTYING THE CROSS OF ITS POWER: HONOR/SHAME AND THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST In recent days the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement (PSA) has fallen on hard times. This supposed "Western" doctrine is often spoken of as "one option" when communicating the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. The language of honor/shame is seen as more culturally relevant for non-western cultures. This session will point out the error of deviating from PSA, and while honor/shame can be helpful, it remains the handmaiden to the doctrine that Scripture sets forth for all cultures and at all times.

Transcribe →BACK TO BASICS: WHO WILL REACH THE NATIONS?
Jun 29, 202300:58:47Tap to summarizeBrad Buser—BACK TO BASICS: WHO WILL REACH THE NATIONS? What type of mindset and consecration will it take to bring the gospel to the last remaining language groups? We will look briefly at what King David understood about sacrifice, how Paul lived and demonstrated to the Corinthians what it is to be a follower of Christ, and, lastly, what Jesus spoke of as the immutable standard for those who bear His name. The easy places have been reached, it's the hard ones that remain. Unless consecration is clearly in our minds, the modern-day gospel workers will be ill-equipped for the challenges that lie ahead.
Transcribe →A FAITHFUL GOSPEL VS. A QUICK GOSPEL
Jun 29, 202301:01:55Tap to summarizeJohn MacArthur—A FAITHFUL GOSPEL VS. A QUICK GOSPEL When we hear of thousands of people being converted and hundreds of churches being planted in remarkably short periods of time, what are we to think? Does the Spirit work differently overseas than He does in our country? Should we be employing faster, more efficient methods to see converts made and churches planted? This session will speak to the tried and true—the ordinary means of grace laid down in scripture versus the new and modern that is so popular in missions today.
