At the end of April over 300 ministers gathered in Yarnfield Park Conference Centre for this year’s Banner of Truth UK Conference.
It may be an ‘old’ conference (it began 55 years ago), but it has a fresh feel to it and continues to attract pastors of all ages from a wide range of church backgrounds.
The theme was Ministers of Christ and it explored this aspect of being a pastor from a variety of angles. Geoff Thomas opened with a sermon on Lydia and the fact ‘the Lord opened her heart’. A reminder that lasting effectiveness in ministry lies ultimately with God. Iain Murray looked at another easily overlooked, but vital detail about ministry. Namely, ministers are first and foremost ‘followers of Christ’.
