Tim Challies: The Privilege of Worshipping God

Erik Thoennes:  Finding true freedom in Christ 

Even when believers in Jesus, find our freedom in him, it is easy to slip back into our old ways of finding our identity, meaning, and hope in things besides Jesus. The Bible teaches us that Jesus plus anything equals nothing but Jesus plus nothing equals everything. We will be looking at passages from Galatians that should lead us to greater freedom in the sufficiency of Christ.  

Tim Challies & Derick Zeulner

Location: Upper CE North

Mike Harrison: Internalizing the Word of God

Location: Cundall Hall

If you were offered $1,000 for every Bible verse you could recite after one week, how differently would you approach God’s Word? In this breakout session, we’ll explore Psalm 119:9-16 and discover why God’s Word is meant to be internalized and treasured. Together, we’ll discover whyGod calls us to store His Word in our hearts and how it shapes, strengthens, and protects us in everyday life.

Mark Pritchard: Willing to Bleed: The Paradox of Power in Weakness

Location: Upper CE North

What if your pain wasn’t a detour—but the doorway? In this breakout, we’ll explore how all that we long for in a relationship with Jesus—intimacy, rest, and power—doesn’t come through strength, but through surrender. Anchored in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 and shaped by a journey through panic and unraveling, this session will show how weakness isn’t just something to accept—it’s the very way God unleashes His power in our lives.  

Derick Zeulner: Multifaceted Gospel 

Location: Upper CE South

The gospel is at the very center of the life and mission of the church. Yet, in recent decades, in an effort to define and defend the gospel, a “flattening” has occurred. Today’s gospel often ends at “Jesus died on the cross to forgive my sins,” stopping short of the fuller, broader picture the New Testament gives us. Our preachers, our songwriters, our evangelists, our people: we need more gospel, not less. Let’s explore the multifaceted beauty of the gospel—all that God has accomplished for us in Jesus Christ.  

Dane Ortlund: A Strangely Relaxed Strenuousness

The Surprising Secret to Christian Growth  In this session we will consider together the surprising way that Scripture leads us into real change. The key to growing as a believer is both harder and easier than what we’re all trying so hard to do. We will back in the truths of Scripture and worship our way forward as we wrestle together with what God says to us in his Word about sanctification!
