Main Session - Mark Dever - Holiness Together (T4G18)

The local church isn’t just the focus of the Christian’s holy life, but the principle means of attaining it. Mark Dever expounds on how pastors can lead their congregations to sustain and advance godliness together. Yet, the corporate pursuit of holiness must be undertaken in humble dependence on God and sure hope that he will do what he has promised.

Main Session - H.B. Charles - The Message of the Cross (T4G18)

H.B. Charles observes that when “leaning over to reach the world, the church is prone to fall in.” Through the exposition of 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, Charles argues that the church must carry out her holy vocation—faithfully and confidently preaching the message of Christ crucified. In other words, the church must be the church.

Main Session - David Platt - Let Justice Roll Down Like Waters: Racism and our Need for Repentance (T4G18)

David Platt addresses the pressing topic of the church’s role in racial justice and reconciliation. A brief exposition of Amos 5:18-27 anchors Platt’s call to repentance from racist sin within the church. Moreover, he exhorts Christians to pursue multi-ethnic communities of faith united together in Christ.

Main Session - Matt Chandler - Citizens of Heaven: In the World But Not Of (T4G18)

How do we live morally without falling into moralism? Matt Chandler argues that Christians must live in holy conformity to God’s revealed will for human flourishing. Yet, this holy living comes from an internal transformation effected by the Spirit through the gospel. The Sermon on the Mount gives us a picture of what that grace-driven, Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered life looks like.

Main Session - Kevin DeYoung - The God Who Is Not Like Us: Why We Need the Doctrine of Divine Immutability (T4G18)

God’s people are called to be distinct from the world because God—in the perfect life of the Trinity—is distinct from the world. In a survey of various biblical and historical texts, Kevin DeYoung demonstrates how the perfection of divine immutability sets the Creator apart from his creation. The saints are eternally secure trusting in the promises of their unchanging God.

Main Session - Albert Mohler - And Such Were Some of You (T4G18)

The church is in the world, but worldliness must not be tolerated in the church. Expositing 1 Corinthians 5:1-6:11, Albert Mohler teaches on the church’s responsibility to judge the sin in the camp in order to better represent the holiness of God. In so doing, the clarity of the Gospel is preserved in the community of saints washed by and waiting for the Lord Jesus.

Main Session - Ligon Duncan - The Whole in Our Holiness (T4G18)

We were created to live in complete obedience to our loving Creator, but in the fall, the whole of our being has been corrupted by idolatrous sin. Ligon Duncan traces the biblical storyline to show how Christ redeems his fallen people, renewing them to a whole-hearted obedience to the God of grace. Increasingly conformed to the image of Christ, Christians are to be distinct from the world in their love of God and neighbor.

Main Session - Thabiti Anyabwile - Distinctive Living In an Age of False Teaching (T4G18)

How do pastors faithfully serve congregations that have been affected by worldliness? Thabiti Anyabwile mines the book of Jude for the answer. Pastors must look out for unsaved scoffers and look into the church, whose members keep one another in the love of God. Yet, in the midst of the struggle, pastors find assurance by looking to God who is able to keep them from stumbling.

Main Session - John MacArthur - Sanctification and the Pastor’s Passion (T4G18)

In an exposition of Galatians 4:19, John MacArthur unpacks Paul’s pastoral heart towards the church in Galatia. He argues that the pastor’s central task is to increasingly conform the congregation into the image of Christ through the preaching of the Word. The pastor is not ultimately judged by the size of the church or the notoriety of the ministry, but the sanctification of the sheep.

Main Session - John Piper - New God, New Gospel, New Gladness: How is Christian Joy Distinct (T4G18)

What is the fundamental quality that sets Christians apart from the world? John Piper looks to the affections, arguing that through the gospel, we are given a new gladness in a new God. Thus, “the most basic distinction and essential distinction between the church and the world is not new decisions of the will, new deeds of the hands, or new doctrines in the mind, but a new delight in the heart in the glory of God.”

Breakout: The Pastor and Biblical Theology (T4G 2016)

How does pastoral ministry intersect with biblical theology? Starting from a testimony from “The Return of the King,” Jim Hamilton clarifies what biblical theology is and is not. Further, Hamilton looks at 1-2 Peter and Jude to exemplify what biblical theology is and how the undershepherd should understand it.

Breakout: Nowhere to Hide? Facing the Reality of the Secular Moment (T4G 2016)

The reality is that there is no place to hide given that we’re in a time of tremendous change. People don’t think like we’ve previously expected to think, even moral instinct has changed. In this breakout session, Al Mohler discusses how the culture has changed by reviewing hallmark dates and events—even within the same generation.

Breakout: Recovering the Role of the Local Church in Global Mission (T4G 2016)

David Platt speaks to the need for local churches to be at the center of global missions. How can local churches and missions entities partner together? Why should local churches be at the center of global missions in reaching the nations? In this breakout session, David prays for every listener to to pray however God wants them to, to give however much God wants them to, and to go wherever God wants them to at any cost.

Breakout: Creating a Culture of Joy in Your Church (T4G 2016)

“shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly.” (1 Peter 5:2) Pastoral ministry not only involves the faithful proclamation of the gospel but it also calls for pleasing God in the privacy of the pastor’s heart. In this breakout session, C.J. Mahaney looks at 1 Peter 5 to help encourage pastors in their joy in ministry.

Breakout: Hymns and Congregational Singing (T4G 2016)

Martin Luther believed that congregational singing was absolutely critical to every part of what The Reformation was about. Why would Luther not let a man to preach or teach if he did not know the power of sacred music? Why is singing not only a command but a joy and a privilege? And what does this mean for the local church? Join Keith Getty as he discusses these issues and others.

Breakout: Church Planting: Out of Joy the Church Multiplies (T4G 2016)

Join Matt Chandler as he reviews the losses his church has taken for the sake of church planting and how those losses are actually joyous gains. Why should the end of evangelism or missions be the establishing of a healthy bastion of gospel light or, in other words, a church? In this breakout session, Matt Chandler discusses the work the Lord is doing through brothers his church has raised up and the beauty of seeing the gospel go forth.

Breakout: The Reformation and Racial Reconciliation (T4G 2016)

How might we think through the history of race, reformed theology, and the Reformation? Given the sins of the past and the present, how might the body of Christ unite to represent the unity of God and the power of the gospel. Join Ligon Duncan and Jemar Tisby as they trace race theory, theological thought, and Christian practice and malpractice throughout history and the Scripture.
