But when the time comes, it often ends up being more a crowd watching a performance than a congregation participating in worship. How do we prepare for a worship service in a way that leads to people being engaged with God, encountering the glory of Christ, and experiencing the presence of his Spirit?…

The introduction of the singing of hymns into English Nonconformist churches (churches outside of the Anglican state church) in the 1690s was one of the most important worship innovations since the Reformation. Not surprisingly, it engendered "worship wars," in which there was more heat than light at times. This workshop will examine the take-away lessons we can learn from this important worship controversy for our own troubled times.

God’s Word tells us that in Jesus Christ “there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.” (Colossians 3:11) Knowing that Jesus died to make us one and living in the good of that reality are two different things. In this breakout, Shai Linne will talk about right and wrong ways to pursue the unity that only the gospel of Jesus Christ has made possible.

What do you do when you believe you are praying in the will of God, following godly counsel, and obeying the Lord the best you know how, but still your prayer isn't answered? Is it because you don't have faith, or enough faith? In this session you'll see from Scripture that the proof of faith isn't always seen in the answers you expect from prayer or in the evident blessing of God. God has something better for us - himself.
