The Living Word 2008: Bible Expositions for God's PeopleProf Donald A. Carson29 – 31 July 2008
St Andrew’s Cathedral, Singapore
Morning Seminars
Preaching: Growing in Skill to Unpack the Whole Counsel of God.
(For Christian workers and & lay preachers who want to learn to preach with a biblical world view that is subsumed under the ‘whole of Scriptures’.)
Synopsis:
This seminar reviews some of the fundamentals of good expository preaching, but focuses primary attention on the way such preaching ought to tap into the meta-themes that tie the entire Bible together. When preachers accomplish this, they are not only teaching God's people to know God's Word better, they are painting a life-transforming worldview - a way of looking at the world that centers around Christ and his gospel, a worldview that is mandated by Scripture itself. As a test case, we will focus special attention on Ezekiel.
Dates:
29-31 July 2008
(Tuesday to Thursday)
Time:
9.00 am to 12.00 noon
Venue:

Public Evening Sessions
Before the End: The Conquering Lamb, the Suffering Church & the Clash of Powers (Studies from the book of Revelation).
(For all who want to hear the powerful & relevant message of the book of Revelation for the people of God today.)
Synopsis:
Is the world becoming a better place or is it getting worse? How should the church understand itself as it seeks to be faithful amidst the swirling currents of competing cultures, of nations and empires in conflict? Deploying the evocative imagery of apocalyptic symbolism, John the Prophet helps Christians in every generation to construct a frame of reference that is horrified by evil but never surprised by it, that cherishes the power of the gospel even while learning to live under the cross.
Dates:
29-31 July 2008
(Tuesday to Thursday)
Time:
7.45 – 9.45 pm
Venue:
St Andrew’s Cathedral
(Next to City Hall MRT)
29 July (Tuesday)
Rage, Rage, Against the Church
(Revelation 12:1-13:1)
In apocalyptic language, John tells us what we learn elsewhere in the New Testament: the Christian's most fundamental enemies are not other people, but the powers of darkness. How then shall we cope and triumph?
30 July (Wednesday)
Antichrist and False Prophet
(Revelation 13:1-18)
Some Christians around the world face brutal opposition and outright persecution; other Christians around the world are in danger of being seduced by false teaching and transient glitter. The dangers are different, yet they are one. How are we to respond?
31 July (Thursday)
Trajectories
(Revelation 14)
There is a perennial danger of thinking that Christian life and thought pertain primarily to this world. But the whole of the New Testament is against this reductionism: there is a heaven to be gained and a hell to be shunned. These opposed trajectories mean that everything in this life has far more significance than we sometimes think.
