Christ in the Psalms
Almost every lover of Charles Spurgeon has in his
library, in addition to Spurgeon’s daily devotional
Morning and Evening, a copy of his The Treasury of
David – that wealth of his own and of various
Puritans’ thoughts concerning the largest book in
our Bible. The Psalms are an inexhaustible reservoir
of praise, truth and light. And this is especially so
when the psalmist takes up the theme of God’s
Anointed, the Messiah. He appears throughout the
Psalter in ways that may often escape us. Dr.
Adjemian brings a passion about the glories of
Christ in the Psalter and how our lives should be
lived in the presence of this one who is not only
King of His Church but also her Bridegroom.
Dr. Adjemian will focus on three Psalms – 45, 101
and 96 – to highlight different aspects of these two
special relationships that Christ sustains with his
people. You will no doubt profit more from his
presentations if you spend time with them before
coming to the Conference.
The Message to Titus (When the Church is in
a mess)
Mr. Olyott writes of his theme: “Sometimes the
church is in a mess – through immaturity, error or
sin, but something can be done about it. The
situation can be sorted out by godly, properly
motivated men. These must be men who are at war
with error. They must understand what godliness
looks like; they must be godly themselves and urge
it on others. This can only happen if their minds are
constantly focused on the magnificent truths of the
gospel and on their personal experience of grace.
Our own great priorities are therefore clear: we
must preach up the gospel and live lives
characterized by good works. These are the two
themes which always come to the fore in
reformation and revival – not one, not the other,
but both!”
Please plan now to come, to invite others and to
pray for God’s presence and powerful blessing. |
