Building a Gospel Centred Community
by Andy Constable I am very privileged to work in an environment that is gospel focused. I came onto the Niddrie team 2 years ago and one of the reasons for doing so was because Mez’s vision was and is to bring the gospel to bear in his life, the life of the church and into the community of Niddrie. I haven’t had to build a gospel community because the building…

Speaker: David Platt Text: Revelation 5 Title: Divine Sovereignty: The Fuel of Death-Defying Missions Find the sermon online here. For those of you who have been following these posts, this is my final one. The more beady eyed among you will know that there were 9 main sessions at T4G but I only…

T4G Conference 2012: Relating it to Housing Schemes (3)
Speaker: Mark Dever Text: 1 Timothy 4:16 Title: False Conversions: The Suicide of the Church This was more a talk than an exegetical message. I have to confess that I didn’t stay for the whole of this message (give me a break – I stayed for an hour!) but I will record what I heard. Mark…
An Assessment of T4G, City2City & Acts29WE Conferences
Right, let me get something straight right off the bat. I am not a conference junkie! It just so happened that I squeezed in these 3 during a manic 2 week period. In fact, this is the most conferences I have been to in 10 years! I do not usually like these things. I hate the crowds and the whole…
