How God has Graciously Provided What We Need in Scripture to Grow in the Grace and Knowledge of Jesus Christ

In this breakout session, we’ll dive into two of the most underrated truths in the church today: the necessity and sufficiency of Scripture. We’ll see that we don’t need fresh revelations, cultural consensus, or personal impressions to know God’s will—what we need is the Bible, and the Bible is enough. Join us as we learn why God’s Word is totally trustworthy, always relevant, and entirely capable of equipping us for every good work.

Victimhood Culture and Christian Identity

In this breakout session, we’ll explore the rise of victimhood culture and how this cultural shift elevates offense, grievance, and moral status through perceived victimization—and how it contrasts sharply with the biblical call to find identity in Christ. Join us as we think carefully about how to live as a gospel-driven people in a culture of fragility, safe spaces, and trigger warnings.

The Social Binary and “Sola Lived Experience.”

In this breakout session, we’ll unpack the concepts of the social binary, intersectionality, and lived experience, utilizing the work of Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer’s book Critical Dilemma. Together, we’ll examine how these ideas influence today’s cultural conversations on identity, oppression, and truth—and how they often conflict with a biblical worldview. Join us as we seek to think carefully, respond compassionately, and stand faithfully in the midst of complex social narratives.

Being Word-Saturated Leads to Rootedness

In this main session, we’ll discover the power of becoming a Word-saturated people—those whose entire lives are shaped by the truth of Scripture. In a world marked by instability, confusion, and shifting values, immersing ourselves in God’s Word produces deep roots, steady hearts, and unwavering confidence. Come ready to be equipped and encouraged to cultivate a Word-saturated life committed to the unchanging truth of scripture.

Jesus’ View of the Scriptures, part 2—on the New Testament

In this main session, we’ll explore what Jesus had to say about his authority being delegated to his Apostles so that they would be accurate witnesses of the things they saw and heard. Jesus made numerous promises to his Apostles about how they would be supplied with the Holy Spirit to teach and remind them of what he had said. The Spirit would guide the Apostles by declaring truths that glorify Jesus. Come ready to learn how Jesus intends for his church to be governed by the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments under the authority delegated by Jesus to his Apostles and the Elders who would follow.

Jesus' View of the Scriptures, part 1—on the Old Testament

In this main session, we’ll explore what it means to have a truly Christian perspective on the scriptures by asking and answering the pivotal question: How did Jesus view the scriptures? We’ll examine several verses from the gospels to gain insight into Jesus' perspective on the Old Testament scriptures, helping us grow toward a Christ-centered view of the Bible. Come ready to be equipped and encouraged by Jesus’ estimation of the truth, power, and significance of the Old Testament scriptures.
