Interview with David Sitton – Part 2

by

A few weeks I had the privilege of interviewing David Sitton on this blog. Mr. Sitton is the President of To Every Tribe, a ministry which has been planting churches among unreached people groups of Papua New Guinea and Mexico for many years now. Next month they are hosting a conference entitled The Privilege of Suffering: Jesus is Worth It. So that any who are interested may attend, there will be no charge for this conference. However, they ask that folks please register so that they can plan accordingly. To Every Tribe will seek to offset the conference costs through the freewill … [Read more...] about Interview with David Sitton – Part 2

2009 West Coast Conference – Session 8 – R.C. Sproul

by

Dr. Sproul brought the conference to a close with a message entitled He Is Risen! -- The Resurrection and Worship. INTRODUCTION Sproul read from Exodus 19, the preamble to the giving of the Decalogue. Imagine that you were there: "On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast." And Moses was told to warn the people, "lest they break through to the Lord to look and many of them perish." We already heard from Alistair about the road to Emmaus. And that passage recounts the relationship between resurrection … [Read more...] about 2009 West Coast Conference – Session 8 – R.C. Sproul

2009 West Coast Conference – Session 7 – Alistair Begg

by

Dr. Begg returned to the pulpit to bring a message entitled In the Likeness of His Resurrection -- The Bodily Resurrection of the Believer, taking his text from 2 Corinthians 5. INTRODUCTION He then read a portion of a message that a pastor might deliver at a funeral. A text that affirms not just the continuity of life, but the resurrection of the physical body. The Christian's view of death and resurrection ought to be a great apologetic in our day. There is a reason why graveyards used to be near churches. It makes sense. We have the anticipation of a new heavens and a new earth to look … [Read more...] about 2009 West Coast Conference – Session 7 – Alistair Begg

2009 West Coast Conference – Session 6 – Q&A – Begg, Horton, Sproul

by

"What do you think of Barth's view of the resurrection?" HORTON: Barth was considered a fundamentalist among his contemporaries for believing in the bodily resurrection. Others have been more clear. Many in Germany and in Switzerland at the time denied either the virgin birth or the bodily resurrection or both. "Do Christ's death and resurrection accomplish different things? Romans 4 seems to have this sort of language." SPROUL: Yes, they are different, but you cannot separate them. Jesus satisfies (for us) the demands of God; He propitiates God's wrath, making it suitable for God to … [Read more...] about 2009 West Coast Conference – Session 6 – Q&A – Begg, Horton, Sproul

2009 West Coast Conference – Session 5 – Michael Horton

by

Michael Horton began his message reading Paul's Mars Hill sermon from Acts 17. He then cited a recent Newsweek article from Lisa Miller. Ms. Miller opined "we're all Hindus now" and her reasoning was (in part) that we all believe in the continuity of life (into an afterlife stage where we play on harps in the clouds, and that sort of thing). When Paul spoke in Thessalonica to a largely Jewish audience, he argued that it was necessary for Christ to be raised from the dead. But he couldn't go to Athens and argue from Old Testament promises. I. PAUL UNDERSTOOD HIS CONTEXT (Acts 17:16-17) Paul … [Read more...] about 2009 West Coast Conference – Session 5 – Michael Horton
