The Reformation and Revival Conference in Derbyshire, 14–16 November, was one of close fellowship, times of prayer together and good expositional preaching, the hallmarks of this annual conference.
Simon Clarke from Shepshed opened the conference with an encouraging and challenging message from Luke 11.13. His theme was the vital necessity and glorious promise of the giving of the Holy Spirit by our heavenly father to those who ask. The word was refreshing and motivating as we face the days in which we are living. How we need to be asking for the Spirit.
Standing alone for God
Rupert Bentley-Taylor, who is planting a new church in a working class and immigrant area of Bath, shared preaching that encouraged and challenged all with three men who stood alone for God in difficult days – Noah, Micaiah, and Paul from 2 Timothy 4. The Word of God was sufficient to sustain and inspire those men and so it is for our day.
