On June 24-25, 2023 we hosted our annual Bible Conference here at Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Hortense GA. Our theme this year was “Preach The Word.” These were the subjects (not assigned), and links where you can go to listen/watch:
“The Good News“
Brother Tom Horn
“Temptation“
Brother John Pruitt
“Failing Methods“
Brother Tate Pierce
“It Is Time To Seek The Lord“
Brother Larry Lafferty
“Godly Sorrow“
Brother Kendall Brantley
“God’s Vengeance For His People“
Brother Kendall Brantley
“Have You Seen Jesus?”
Brother Larry Lafferty
Besides these preachers, we also had some great singing including special singing by Brother Troy Sheppard and his family. It really was a great meeting, and I appreciate everyone who came.
There were AT LEAST a dozen Baptist churches (some Landmark Baptist, some Reformed Baptist) represented in our little church building Saturday morning as we worshipped and fellowshipped together. As I thought about all that later that evening, I considered the fact that we all don’t agree 100% on everything (who does?) and yet met together at a Bible Conference to hear God’s Word preached…we came to sing praises to our Lord….we came to worship Jesus…. we came to fellowship with one another. Nobody got into a fight or an argument. Can you believe it?
I couldn’t help but think we better learn to get together more often. I am not talking about any ecumenical movement, but the fact is one day we are going to be in heaven together, and if things go the way I think they might in this country we might share a jail cell with someone who we might disagree with a little somewhere. Better get to know each other a little more sooner rather than later. Who knows? We might make some more friends and have a good time with God’s people and as God’s people! We sure did this weekend!
