advance09

From derrach.blogspot.com - 5/15/09

Our church, Vintage21, is joining with others (Desiring God, Resurgence, Acts29 Network, Summit Church, etc.) to host a conference next month that is sure to be worthwhile. Advance09 - Resurgence of the Local Church. It takes place in the city I love to call home - Durham, NC. Dates are June 4-6 and tickets are available now. Several of the speakers are on my podcast list and I'm excited to hear them in person. John Piper, Matt Chandler, Mark Driscoll, Ed Stetzer, JD Greer, Tyler Jones and many others will cover topics surrounding the power of God's gift to His people... The Church.

Now many people may say that the church is no gift at all, that it is in fact a blotch on the face of God, and I often see why that is said. The point of this conference is the resurgence of the church, the fact that it is in desperate need of correction, realignment and refocus. That Jesus wants it to be the vehicle by which his glory is shown to the world. We believe that Jesus is the head of the Church and that He is and has been leading the church into a renewed vision to preach the unchanging Gospel to this ever-changing culture in order to bring about life-changing redemption.

This will be a strong conference and I encourage anyone within 1000 miles to make it to Durham and attend.

I'll see you there!
