The Gospel Coalition 2011 Plenary Sessions on Video
The plenary sessions of TGC 2011 are now available on video. I am still working my way through the TGC 2011 conference audio and will post about it when finished, however, I would like to say that so far the sessions I’ve listened to are stellar.
The subject itself is one that has been in desperate need of attention, and that is, how we are to preach the Gospel in the Old Testament. Carson’s look at Psalm 110 is a must listen to. That message alone sums up the importance of this conference. In it, Carson expresses how important many Old Testament threads are for our understanding of God and his plan of redemption — threads such as priesthood, atonement, sacrifice, Yom Kippur, Passover, year of Jubilee, kingship, covenant, and the like.
We so quickly dismiss these things, or we deal with them as a matter of caricature that we don’t fully apprehend the breadth of revelation and significance behind them. Carson exposes this reality by pointing to how we commonly divide the law into 3 parts: the ceremonial, the civil, and the moral, and how we dispense with the ceremonial and civil and embrace the moral. And in Carson’s look at Psalm 110 he demonstrates how supremely important Melichizedek is in understanding Jesus Christ.

2009 Next Conference
Sovereign Grace Ministries 2009 ‘Next’ Conference is one that I completely, and unfortunately overlooked. Josh Harris is joined by Don Carson, Kevin DeYoung, Sinclair Ferguson & C. J. Mahaney to give a wonderfully edifying conference that focuses our attention on Jesus Christ.
The God Who is There: Carson’s 14 Part Series
Don Carson gave a 14 part lecture at Bethlehem Baptist Church, the material of which is found in his latest book, The God Who Is There.
Don Carson Interview on Studying Theology to the Glory of God
Mike Reeves interviews Don Carson on the Theology Networks podcast TableTalk. Don and Mike discuss issues surrounding the study of theology. Carson talks a lot about his education, study decisions, and provides some helpful advice to those considering a theological education.
Don Carson: Praying with Paul
Justin Taylor has found the messages that Don Carson delivered in Cambridge that led to his fantastic book A Call to Spiritual Reformation. This is a young Carson with powerful messages on prayer.
The conference messages are a good introduction to this book, and covers some of the same material. The book contains more material, and because it is such a phenomenal and important work, I highly recommend you read this book.
D. A. Carson Sermons & Lectures
Feeding on Christ has compiled three lists of D.A. Carsons sermons and lectures.
Falkirk Free Church
Falkirk Free Church of Scottland is pastored by Norman Mackay, and their audio page has a lot of valuable audio files of messages from men you may have never heard of but should, such as Edward Donnelly and Donald MacLeod, and they have a few by some you do know, such as Sinclair Ferguson and Don Carson. If you’re looking for some good ol’ fashioned Scottish preaching this would be a good page to check out.
2009 Next Conference
This year the New Attitude Conference became Next Conference. The subject this year was Jesus Christ, and a marvelous conference it was. Between Sinclair Ferguson and Don Carson you can’t go wrong.
One surprise speaker was Kevin DeYoung, pastor of University Reformed Church in Lansing, Michigan, and author of a number of books including Why We’re Not Emergent and Just Do Something. DeYoung gave us a wonderful picture of Christ as life giver, looking at portraits of him dealing the demoniac, Jarius’ daugther, the unclean woman, and the storm that threatened the disciples.
Here is the list of main sessions:
Preeminence, Josh Harris
Incarnation, Don Carson
Life, Kevin DeYoung
