The Institute for Expository Preaching: Sacramento

When: November 5-7 2018


Where: Grace Bible Church - 5010 Hazel Ave. Fair Oaks CA


Details

We live in a day in which there is a famine in the land for the hearing of God's Word. In response to this spiritual drought, the ministries of OnePassion and Ligonier are devoted to calling those who stand in pulpits to the high standard of biblical preaching. If we are to see a new reformation in this day, there must first be a reformation of the pulpit. Only then can the church experience transcendent worship, authentic godliness, and true evangelism.

In this course titled "Preaching the Gospel: Expositing the Word, Evangelizing the Lost" Dr. Lawson will teach the necessary distinctions of the evangelistic preaching of the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. This event is designed for men who are serving in or considering various church leadership and pastoral roles. However, pastors' wives and those who teach in women's ministry occasionally attend.


Cost: (Don't let the cost be a deterrent - ask about being sponsored - we know you're having to miss work to attend)

$149 - STANDARD      $199 - After Sept 29


Registration Includes: 

-Admission to all eight sessions and multiple Q&A's
