Serious Joy | The 38th Bethlehem Conference for Pastors
This winter, John Piper, Mark Vroegop, David Mathis, Kevin DeYoung, Steven Lee, and Dieudonné Tamfu will unpack the theme Word + Spirit: The Power of Supernatural Ministry.
Pastors are called to a supernatural ministry of the Word and Spirit, a ministry marked by divine truth and divine power. The same Spirit who inspires the Word of God also attends his Word for the glory of God and the good of his people. Messages will explore the dynamics of supernatural ministry as pastors study the Scriptures, commune with the living God, persevere through trials, pursue holiness, shepherd the saints, and preach with boldness.
