Why

John Piper on this year's conference:

People are born again through hearing the gospel....

And what is the gospel? Basically this: “Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel.... that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:1–4).

Telling this old story is the means God has ordained for people to be born again. This strikes me as simply amazing. Words coming out of our mouths about events in history are the way God brings about the stupendous, supernatural miracle of the new birth....

I am eager to be together with you and to worship and pray and think and discuss these great matters. I hope you will come.

How much: $110 until December 31 (or $100/person for groups of 5 or more)
