I’ll be blogging occasionally for The Gospel Coalition blog (RSS | email), and I’ll post future announcements about new D. A. Carson MP3s over there from now on.
For example, I just posted about Carson’s sermon on 3 John that he preached at my church last Sunday morning.
Check out The Gospel Coalition’s updated website.
Be sure to read the “Welcome!” post by Ben Peays and Mike Pohlman.
Audio from the ten plenary sessions at The Gospel Coalition’s 2009 National Conference is available here.
I benefited most from these five sessions:
Video for all the plenary sessions and audio from the workshops are coming soon. (TGC’s website has shut down at least twice in two days because it has exceeded its bandwidth limit.)
One of the most underemphasized blessings of attending a gospel-centered conference is gospel-fellowship with so many brothers in Christ. It’s an invigorating means of grace! (Pictured here is my cancer-surviving friend Matt Hoskinson, whom my daughter appeared to find rather fascinating!)
BTW, audio and video from The Gospel Coalition’s 2009 National Conference is being made available here (just click on the titles of hyperlinked sessions).
Last week The Gospel Coalition Network (TGCN) opened using a version of Zondervan’s “The City.” Adrian Warnock shares the details.
One of the challenges of maintaining a network like this is administrating it. Consequently, last week D. A. Carson drafted the terms of use that distinguish between “participants” and “members” (posted here with permission):
Welcome to The Gospel Coalition Network!
We invite individuals to sign up to TGCN on one of two levels.
- Participants need only fill out the digital forms that follow, and join in the discussion. You do not have to agree with The Gospel Coalition; you do not have to be a Christian. The “participants” level is for anyone wanting to engage in networking and in discussion of common themes with other people.
- Members are asked to take a further step in the registration process: you are asked to read our Foundation Documents, all of which are available online—Preamble, Statement of Faith, and Theological Vision of Ministry—and signal your agreement with these documents, without mental reservation. Only members will be allowed to start new groups on the Network.
You have every right to know what our reasoning is.
First, we take some inspiration from the brilliant organizational skills of John Wesley. [Read more…] about The Gospel Coalition Network
On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week, over 3,000 Christian servants will gather in Chicago for The Gospel Coalition’s 2009 National Conference.
In my recent post “D. A. Carson: ‘Making Sense of Suffering,'” I wrote this:
DAC also led a pastor’s session on “Preaching and Biblical Theology.”
After his hour-long address on biblical theology, DAC was asked to “say something about The Gospel Coalition” (59:24 to 1:06:10 in the MP3). Since people often ask, “What exactly is The Gospel Coalition?”, I turned DAC’s useful extemporaneous overview of TGC into this 7-minute MP3.
