Shepherds' Conference 2015 - Day 1

The past week (March 3-8, 2015) was Shepherds' Conference at Grace Community Church in California. Around 5000 men flew from all over the world to attend this historic event. Historic because it is different than the past conferences in that it was a summit. The conference was 4 days (when it was 3 before), the number of people that attended doubled from before, the number of General Sessions doubled also, there were many more speakers than before, and the topic was Inerrancy. That is, the inerrancy of Scripture. The Scripture does not have any errors in its original writing.

Anyway, I will be sharing my highlight sessions from each day. Everything can be accessed on the Shepherds' Conference website:

Day 1

Alistair Begg's sermon was titled Let the Lion Out, taken from a quote from Charles Spurgeon. In it, he preaches from 2 Timothy 4:1-5 encouraging everyone in this conference (comprised of pastors and leaders) with the charge of preaching (and teaching) the word of God to the end.

Ligon Duncan preached from 2 Timothy 3:16-17 reinforcing the Scripture's inspiration (God-breathedness) and therefore its inerrancy. He goes through the text and expounded on the purpose of this inspired text, and the effect thereof. The sermon ended with a call to be doers of the word: 

"O brothers, let us not old to the word in word, let us hold to the word in what we love and how we live."
