The Glory of Jesus Christ
  • Overview

    There is no more worthy contemplation than Jesus Christ the Son of God. At this conference, we will be bringing in men who will explain from Scripture, “The Glory of Jesus Christ.” This will be a most rewarding and blessed experience. Isaac Ambrose spoke beautifully of the value of beholding His glory:

    ...only Christ is the whole of man’s happiness, the Sun to enlighten him, the Physician to heal him, the Wall of fire to defend him, the Friend to comfort him, the Pearl to enrich him, the Ark to support him, the Rock to sustain him under the heaviest pressures…

    Join us along with Joel Beeke, Steven Lawson, Rob Ventura, Carlton McLeod, Clarence Simmons, Jeff Pollard, Anthony Mathenia, John Snyder, and many others.
