A questions and answers session with Sinclair Ferguson, Steven Lawson, Burk Parsons, and Michael Reeves.
Introduction (0:00)
1. How is the Gospel the cure for Tribalism amongst Evangelicalism and Believers? (0:11)
2. For those of us not in official ministry positions, but passionate about preaching (2 Timothy 4), how are we to behave or act when those in leadership, pastors or elders, are not as convinced for this kind of preaching? (4:29)
3. Sermons today seem to be increasingly mere bible studies explaining a chunk of Scripture, how can preachers and sermons today be improved? (12:18)
4. I am pastoring a Church which takes membership very loosely. How do I teach and encourage my church to take the matter more seriously? (25:45)
5. As a young pastor, how do you be ready to preach multiple times during the week, counseling, funerals, etc. and not be burnt out? (27:59)
This pre-conference session is from Pilgrims and Exiles, our 2023 London Conference: • Pilgrims and Exiles: 2...

Ferguson is correct that we are not all able to drive a long ways....distance, mountains and snow can make it impossible. A blessing is that I can find a good pastor online to supplement what I am missing from my local church.

Thank you so much for sharing this. As a "burned out" worker, I found this a blessed encouragement and reminder of how to more wisely heal up, and allow God to be in charge of my choices and actions in order to truly be the witness He wants me to be. God bless you all

The question got it right "Evangelicals and believers" they are not the same. Unity can only happen where there is truth. Truth divides.

Although this conference seems to be for (chiefly) Pastors/Elders and Deacons etc although I'm none of the above. I always find these conference sermons and Q & As so incredibly practical and helpful in my own life and walk with the Lord. Some real nuggets of wisdom here. I love the advice Steve Lawson gave on time management but every one of you contributed precious pearls of wisdom I need to apply. Thank you. 😊

We need much more of such teaching here in the UK.

Dr. Ferguson is such a beautiful person! He has a daily Ligonier podcast called “Things Unseen” that I listen to and would enthusiastically recommend! 😊

@@dianamccay7276 Great! Thank you! Always appreciate recommendations for wise and truthful, Godly preachers. I trust Ligonier for vetted teachers as well.

There is a famine of the word of God because our state churches have moved away from truth and actually disobey the Word of God here in the UK Both north and south of the border. Other denominations are not careful with the Word of God and some becoming liberal - I had to even leave a Baptist church - at one time a dependable denomination - but not always today. Still some ver good Baptist churches around though. In my area I have battled to find a reformed Church. Thankfully I have now found one but it consists of a tiny congregation because people prefer to have their ears tickled and be entertained in other churches.
