1 Samuel 7:12 12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, “Till now the LORD has helped us.”

There is a powerful message from this OT text about the repenting believer.

The context is important from I Samuel 4 – 6 because in these preceding chapters we see the situation in the nation of Israel that has led them to their need of repentance.

Here are my notes from Jeff Noblitt’s first sermon at this years conference, enjoy.

Our goal in this conference is to dive into this rich doctrine of repentance by presenting an overview of this doctrine and then to have these other men to fill in the corners.

Repentance is the child of regeneration. Regeneration is the child of grace. Grace is the gift of God. If you cannot go to God with repentance you must go to God for repentance.

The past three days of the True Church Conference at Grace Life Church in Muscle Shoals has been wonderful. It has been a roller-coaster of passionate Christ-exalting preaching to stir the hearts of those who hunger for the glory of God displayed in the Church. It’s been as if I was walking with Christian on his pilgrimage, but instead of coming upon Vanity Fair we stumble into Paul’s Court of proclamation.

Words fall short in translating the magnitude of Holy Spirit power that has crushed me and so many others under the weight of God’s Word. Though I lack the vocabulary to do justice to what I have seen and heard these last few precious days; I am planning to post sermon summaries for everyone to read.

In the next few days I will post these in order, some dictation, some outlines and in some cases a brief summary. I know they will prove profitable for our sanctification so please check back later.

The night started with a few failed attempts at getting the audio and video feeds working simultaneously to show a spot about Grace Life church of the Shoals and their vision for distributing the gospel. It was rather encouraging to see that even churches of this size ans resource still are affected by technical glitches.

While this was being sorted out, pastor Jeff Noblitt came up and introduced the speaker for our first session. Conrad Mbewe, the pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church in Zambia, stepped into the pulpit and began to read from Romans 3:9-18.

I just came across this article and wanted to pass it along to anyone interested in what is going on with the younger generation of pastors in the SBC. I will agree with many of those who have commented on this post that this is the most accurate and fair explanation for young God-called pastors in Southern Baptist churches.

It would seem that God has answered the prayers of the generation before us who taught from the pulpit that The Bible is God’s Word, that Christ is Savior and Lord and that the Christian life is not what we do, it’s who we are. This was the goal of the conservative resurgence and it’s fruit is begin seen today.

Take some time and read this article.
