June 27– 30 saw the annual Lewis Christian Conference take place in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis.
The speaker was Dr Sinclair B Ferguson. Dr Ferguson addressed the conference on the theme ‘In Christ Alone’. He helped focus attention on the centrality and completion of Christ’s work in securing the salvation of his believing people.
Dr Ferguson gave three edifying conference messages: i) from Philippians 3, on the ii) conversion of Saul of Tarsus; from Romans 6, where he explained what it means to be in union with Christ and experience the transforming power of God, the old self having been crucified with Christ; iii) from Romans 5.1-11, where he spoke of the privileges that belong to the Christian believer in Jesus Christ. All of the conference messages were spiritually uplifting and personally challenging. He encouraged believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Sharing testimony
The High Church building was kindly made available for the conference meetings again this year. Dr Ferguson preached in the High Fellowship and in Point Free Church on the Lord’s Day, and he addressed a large fellowship gathering in the High Church on the Lord’s Day evening, where he shared testimony and spoke of the Lord’s work in his own life.
People came from churches across the island and there were also visitors attending the conference from other parts of the UK and some from overseas.
