Pastoral Ministry: Learning or Doing?
Christ the Center tackles the false dichotomy that many Christian’s see in the role of a pastor — often choosing between his study of Scripture to teach his flock and his doing of pastoral ministry that focuses on caring for the flock.
The Task of the Preacher
The lads at Christ the Center interview John Currie of Westminster Theological Seminary about the task of the preacher. A very lively and helpful discussion.
Sinclair Ferguson: The Pastor and His Preaching
Sinclair Ferguson takes a good look at about pastors should think about their preaching. Excellent message by Ferguson, who we’d expect nothing less.
Pastors Who No Longer Believe — Get Out!
Al Mohler provides some great advice to the theologically degenerate.
Pastoral Training & Ministry with Phillip Jensen
Mark Dever discusses pastoral training with Phillip Jensen.
2010 Shepherd’s Conference
The Shepherd’s Conference is one of those conferences that seldom disappoints, if ever. While this years conference didn’t have the “bang” of previous years, it was nonetheless edifying and challenging, with the old standbys in the pulpit: MacArthur, Johnson, Holland and Lawson.
9 Marks Conference
Colin Adams has posted audio from a recent 9 Marks Conference held in Northern Ireland at Colin’s church.
I haven’t listened to the conference yet, but posting this because the audio will only be available for 60 days.
Lessons Learned from Three Decades of Leading
C. J. Mahaney, Jeff Purswell and Bob Kauflin gather for a lengthy discussion reflecting on their many years of ministry together at Covenant Life and Sovereign Grace.
There is one excellent observation I will leave you with: The boys were talking about preparation for worship, and C.J. said, the Holy Spirit is not thwarted by planning or preparation. Some believe the Spirit works spontaneously, but the Holy Spirit is more at work when we are prepared than when we are not.
