2022 EC Conference: CONVICTION
Gripped by the Glories of Christ
Seminar: Preaching That Convicts
September 9, 2022 • Mike Fabarez
Jesus made it clear that preaching was more than delivering information about God. We are expected to preach His message to bring about life change. Understanding the importance of biblical application, and making certain our hearers understand that God’s truth demands a response will be the focus of this breakout session.
Seminar: Surviving the Storms
September 9, 2022 • Carlynn Fabarez
We all face storms and challenges in life, times when we’ve prayed the rain would end and it didn’t. In Matthew 8 Jesus and the disciples face a storm like that and through their experience the Son of God teaches us all how to weather our next trial without regret.
Seminar: The God-Glorifying Preacher
September 9, 2022 • Nick Haight
It is so easy for preachers to lose focus on what God has called them to do. It is also easy for churches to be enamored with gifted preachers. What are God’s objectives for the preacher whose desire it is to glorify God in his ministry? Paul tells us that the God-glorifying preacher exalts Christ, not self; trusts God, not talents; and seeks the Spirit, not the applause. This is what God calls the preacher to do and what the church needs to ensure their pastor does. And when that is true in a church, God is getting the glory He alone deserves for saving sinners and sanctifying His people.
