This past week, i attended the 2009 Gospel Coalition National Conference. As a current undergrad student, heading towards a Masters in Divinity, it was amazing. Pursing the path to pastoral ministry as been long, but i was never so reassureed as i was this week. The faithful expositions of 2 Timothy by the pastors there was amazing. I had the oppurtunity to talk to several seminaries, and interns at other Churches around the world. The publishing houses that were there offered great discount deals as well as gave away some free titles. I spent about $100 and walked away with almost $300 in books. Not to mention a hardback cover of the ESV study bible.
Each session was challenging and reassuring. The theme was "Entrusted with the Gospel," and as the pastors brought forth the message, it felt like the Holy Spirit was sitting write next to me taoing me on the shoulder. D.A. Carson, John Piper, Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll, Phil Ryken, Ligon Duncan, Ryan Chappel, Kenneth Copeland. Josh Harris, and Colin Smith all served the Lord well this week.
I went to the front and met D. A. Carson, just to give thanks for arranging such an event. What a gracious example of living a life held captive to the gospel! He even remembered the name of my pastor, who was a student of his a decade ago.
It would appear that Matt Finn has already compiled a central hub with which to access all the Audio and available notes access that here. Check it out!
Grace and Peace,
