Well, day one at the Advance Conference is over. I am sitting here in our hotel room watching Conan O’brien, reflecting on all the cool things we heard today. I am here in Durham with 4 of my friends from Grace Foothills. This conference is all about God’s love for the local church and how the local church can resurge by looking at Jesus and being on mission for Jesus. The gospel is the center of what God is up to in the church and when a church has no gospel centrality, it ceases being a church and becomes a museum, country club, or a boneyard.
Today we heard from Mark Driscoll, Tyler Jones, Bryan Chapel, and Matt Chandler. All of their talks will be online soon and when they are, I will post the link in this blog.
