This was perhaps one of the most significant conferences I’ve heard in the past few years. Not that others haven’t been good, but this one was special.
Randy Alcorn, John MacArthur, John Piper, Steve Lawson, Rick Holland and C.J. Mahaney all did an outstanding job in redirecting our focus to the larger things at work in life that require carefull thinking.
This is a very good conference on preaching aimed at working preachers. This is not basic preaching material. It is assumed that the listeners are recieving training in basic exegesis, hermeneutics and homiletics.
It is lecture style, so there is some informational dryness to the tone and content, but there is much to be gained. Dan Doriani tackles some common misconceptions, such as the avoidance of anything narrative in a reaction against the emergent church (I’m assuming). He also explains why sometimes it’s helpful to bypass the main point of the passage and focus on a secondary inference.
Carl Trueman looks at the preaching ministry of John Owen and the political climate surrounding Owen’s ministry, and draws some very helpful conclusions about what lines Owen crossed bridging theology and politics, and what lines he did not cross.
James Garretson looks at the life and ministry of Archibald Alexander, including his conversion. Garretson also provides many of the preaching and pastoral convictions of Alexander.

This is classic, dry-witted, no-nonsense, no-holds-barred Tozer on the Holiness of God.
In a sermon on the Holiness of God, C. J. Mahaney looks at people God killed and why. It’s a humbling message, and Mahaney focuses most of his message on Uzzah, who God struck dead when he caught the Ark from falling off the cart.
