- 200 - May 17, 2024: “Fulfill Your Ministry”
In a complicated world, Paul’s charge to Timothy was simple: “Preach the Word.” The same charge has been laid on today’s pastors and church leaders, who minister in a world that is no less complicated. As such, Alistair Begg calls upon them to do as Timothy did: to take their solemn call seriously, to face the hostilities and difficulties that stand before them, and to “do the work of an evangelist” for a culture that sorely needs the Gospel.
Fri, 17 May 2024 - 199 - May 17, 2024: Derek Prime: Father, Grandfather, Man of God
Derek Prime, Alistair’s mentor and coauthor of ‘On Being a Pastor,’ has gone home to be with the Lord, but his legacy continues to impact pastors throughout the world. In this breakout session, pastors Jonathan and Andy Prime—Derek’s son and grandson respectively—illustrate how Derek Prime was first a disciple of Jesus before being a pastor and consider how his way of life and faith in the Lord Jesus can be imitated for greater Gospel impact.
Fri, 17 May 2024 - 198 - May 17, 2024: Understanding Our Holy Calling
Paul exhorted Timothy and all ministers of the Gospel to nurture their God-given gifts, not to be ashamed of the Gospel, and to devote themselves to the life-giving Word of God. Teaching from 2 Timothy 1, theologian Sinclair Ferguson helps pastors and church leaders appreciate the pastorate’s holy calling. As he walks through Paul’s exhortation to Timothy and the pastoral pattern he sets forth, he unpacks key aspects of Timothy’s ministry worth considering and emulating, including the humbling impact of suffering and the necessity of sincere faith.
Fri, 17 May 2024 - 197 - May 17, 2024: Come and Hear: Hope Explored
To “do the work of an evangelist,” as Paul urged his protégé Timothy to do, is often seen as an individual project—particularly, the specific work of individual pastors. However, as Rico Tice argues, the world needs the entire church body to engage in evangelism. In this talk, he surveys tools and techniques for accomplishing this task while making clear that God is the one who opens blind eyes and transforms lives.
Fri, 17 May 2024 - 196 - May 17, 2024: Gospel Partnerships
Relationships are a precious and weighty influence on a pastor’s ministry. Even the apostle Paul could not fulfill his calling alone and felt vulnerable to the affections of those around him. In this message, Alistair Begg teaches from the end of Paul’s letters to Timothy, admonishing us to value our co-laborers and be mindful of our greetings and farewells. Every pastor will benefit from loyal and useful friendships, which serve as channels of God’s love and affection from one to another.
Fri, 17 May 2024 - 195 - May 17, 2024: Go and Tell: The Word One to One
In this practical session, Rico Tice and Richard Borgonon share resources for evangelism in a world with increasing barriers to Christianity. Despite these obstacles, currently one-third of people are open to a conversation about the faith. Two foundational convictions should inform our evangelism: that the Lord is actively at work in the lives of non-Christians, preparing them to be open to the Word, and that God’s Word is powerful to save. Christians must be effectively equipped to take God’s Word to nonbelievers.
Fri, 17 May 2024 - 194 - May 17, 2024: Preaching Difficult Texts
All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable. So why do preachers skip over some parts? If the Holy Spirit inspired and included genealogies, border descriptions, Levitical offerings, and narratives that offend modern sensibilities, shouldn’t pastors preach them? And shouldn’t preachers be able to capture and hold a congregation’s attention even in such passages? In this breakout session, Hershael York, dean of the School of Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, teaches preachers how to preach these notoriously difficult texts in a manner that both reveals their purpose in God’s revelation and holds a listener’s interest.
Fri, 17 May 2024 - 193 - May 17, 2024: Developing Holy Affections
Can faithful biblical interpretation without affection lead to life transformation? Theologian Sinclair Ferguson argues that it is possible for people to be correctly instructed without being well-nourished and that holy affection is a key to effective pastoral ministry. As Jesus loves and yearns for us, so a pastor ought to live as an example and expresser of Christ’s love. God’s truth comes with power on the wings of warm care and friendship.
Fri, 17 May 2024 - 192 - May 17, 2024: Panel Question Time (Basics 2024)
In this Q and A session, Rico Tice, Alistair Begg, and Sinclair Ferguson respond to questions from the attendees of the Basic Conference. Listen to these men laugh and teach together as they offer a gold mine of practical wisdom. Among other topics, they discuss their individual callings to pastoral ministry, the advantages and disadvantages to denominational ties, plagiarism, corporate worship, and words of concern and advice for the upcoming generation of pastors.
Fri, 17 May 2024 - 191 - May 17, 2024: Preaching the Holy Gospel
“Him we proclaim.” Prolific theologian and author Sinclair Ferguson challenges pastors and church leaders to take this simple statement as their “motto text,” informing every element of their preaching as it did for the apostle Paul himself. In order to do so, we must preach Jesus Christ from the totality of Scripture and in concert with the wisdom of the church fathers. We must also remember that when we preach Christ, He preaches Himself, meeting every need of everyone who truly hears the message.
