2013 RCF Pastors’ Conference
from 2012 RCF Pastors’ Conference
(The Reformed Congregational Fellowship involves some of our CCCC pastors and others. Co-Moderators of the group are CCCC pastors Paul Wanamaker and Kirk van der Swaagh. The fellowship meets each spring in New England. We are pleased to announce their conference, so that others in the CCCC who wish to attend may know about it and participate. — Editor)
• What happened with Adam in the garden?
• When he transgressed the divine command, did God just move on to “Plan B”?
• Is there anything left of the image of God in man?
• How does the law given at Sinai relate to Christ?
• Should the “law” still be preached?
• What relevance does the law have for Christians?
Join us for all (or any part of) the 2013 Reformed Congregational Fellowship’s Pastors’ Conference, April 16–18, at the Wonderland Conference Center in Sharon, Massachusetts. Six presentations by colleagues serving in the pastorate will center on these vital and practical concerns. They include:
| __ | ● | __ | The Image of God and the Imperative of Law by Douglas Vickers |
| ● | The Meaning of God’s Judicial Laws for the Framers of The Savoy Declaration of Faith (and what they called the “general equity” of these laws for Christians and nations today) by Mark Alvis | ||
| ● | Two Trees Grew In Eden by Paul Wanamaker | ||
| ● | Should We Preach the Law of God? By Tim Broberg | ||
| ● | The Law and the Priesthood: a Glorious Development by David Green | ||
| ● | Exceeding Love: The Summary and Substance of the Law by Kirk van der Swaagh |
from 2012 RCF Pastors’ Conference
The RCF Pastors’ Conference is chiefly one of ongoing education for pastors, in this case the doctrines of grace as they are expressed in the Savoy Declaration. If pastors are to reinforce these truths in their congregations, then they must first be grounded in them, which has always been the goal of the RCF. We also encourage pastors to bring others in their congregations who want to delve more deeply into biblical truth in an intimate and interactive learning environment.
