The audio from Ligonier’s 2016 National Conference is available to stream for free. The subject is the Gospel itself, and the speakers who join R. C. Sproul to speak on the glories of the Gospel included Al Moher, Michael Reeves, Ian Hamilton, Derek Thomas, Tim Keesee and many more.
R.C. described the purpose of this conference this way:
In 2 Peter 1:16, the Apostle tells us that he and the other Apostles “did not follow cleverly devised myths” when they proclaimed “the power and coming” of Christ Jesus. Rather, the Apostles were “eyewitnesses of his majesty.” These men saw something take place in space and time that altered the course of human history. The incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus are not legendary events in a fictional tale. They are firm historical realities on which the Christian faith stands or falls.
In the face of cultural hostility, followers of Christ must not compromise the bold historical witness of the Christian faith. We stand not on a mere idea or a fanciful myth, but on historical events that testify to the fact that Jesus is Lord and Savior.
We must be prepared to articulate and defend our faith so that we can give an answer for the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15). To help prepare you for this task, our national conference will be centered on the theme of “The Gospel.”
Truth and clarity regarding the life and work of Jesus Christ are critical issues for the rising generation. That is why I am looking forward to revealing the Ligonier Statement on Christology at this conference. It’s intended as a clear and memorable articulation of orthodox Christology, and I hope it will serve the Church for years to come.
