“Preach… the Word” says the apostle Paul. What instruction could be more clear or authoritative? In a day when confusion has gripped the church and relativism has gripped the culture, the great need of the hour is a word, from God. That word has been given to us. That is why the great need of the hour is expository preaching. The Institute for Reformed Worship of Erskine Theological Seminary presents two conferences in one weekend: First, for pastors, it’s the “Preach the Word Conference, Thursday and Friday, September 11 and 12 at First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina. “Speakers include Sinclair Ferguson, Ligon Duncan, Alistair Begg and Mark Ross. In the second conference open to everyone, Friday and Saturday of the same weekend, you’ll get a fresh understanding of the grace of God in the gospel. Check the schedule for speakers and topics at www.erskineseminary.org. For more information call 803-771-6180. On today’s edition of “Calling for Truth,” one of the conference speakers, Dr. Mark Ross, will be my guest. We’ll be talking about a few themes from the conference including expository preaching and the love that God has for us as demonstrated through Christ and the present ministry of the Spirit in our lives. Dr. Ross is the Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Erskine Theological Seminary and Director of the Institute for Reformed Worship. Prior to joining the Erskine faculty in 2004 he served for twenty years as Associate Pastor for Teaching at the First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina. He is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh (B.A.), the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (M.Div.), and Keele University in England (Ph.D.). He and his wife, Connie, have two children and five grandchildren. Check out the resources at the “Institute for Reformed Worship” on the Erskine website listed above.
