Old Testament Foundations: Moses and the Modern Mind (Israel in Egypt)

Moses revealed two great avenues in which God manifested his character and purpose: creation and the word. In the Book of Romans we will discover how forgiven sinners can be transformed into glorified saints through Moses’ revelation. The books of Moses are foundational to a true understanding of God’s will and work in the world. In the course of our study we will face many contemporary issues that challenge the modern mind. We will address many of those profound questions asked by believers over centuries. Our ultimate goal is to tap the spiritual resources of Moses’ words and understand his overarching message. Our prayer is that God will both engage our modern minds and anchor our eternal hopes in Him.

We are excited about this year's Men's Spring Conference as we gather for a weekend away at the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort.  This is a great time to get to know other men from Four Oaks to worship, fellowship, hang out, and engage in God's Word together.  Our speaker this year will be Rev. Les Newsom, who is ordained as a pastor in the PCA and is a very gifted preacher and bible teacher.  We want to do everything we can to make this a spiritually significant and impactful weekend for our men.  Please join us and bring a friend

In a culture and world that seems to be constantly changing, people are looking for something fixed and constant to hold on to.  For Christians particularly, the great challenge is how to live out a life of faithfulness before God in a world that is not only changing but is most often in conflict with the Christian faith.  Pastor Les Newsom will unpack God's Word from Revelation 4-7 in our times together, where we will find that the New Testament church and believers were struggling with these very same issues. The Apostle John addresses their struggles by pointing them to eternal realities that are fixed and unchanging, and we are hopeful that God will do the same for us through Pastor Les and his teaching.

The price for the conference is $125 and includes lodging in 2 br resort condo, Friday Dinner and Saturday lunch.

This inductive study of I Peter follows Pastor Erik’s current sermon series, but you can join us at any time!  The goal of this class is to dig deep and learn the wonderful truths of  I Peter, to be drawn into personal interaction with the Scripture (God Himself), and to learn how to stand firm in the true grace of God. We will use the same curriculum as the Wednesday morning class led by Susan Braun. This is a great opportunity to learn inductive study skills for yourself, including observing and marking the text, outlining, word studies, and cross-referencing.

2012 Women's Conference

The Gospel Coalition 2012 National Women's Conference

Here Is Our God! God's Revelation of Himself in Scripture

Seeing God more clearly will send us out to serve him more powerfully! How amazing that God actually showed himself to his people at crucial points throughout biblical history, and that they were allowed to write what they saw. This conferene will call us to look up to see the God of the Scriptures. Continuing the Gospel Coalition's commitment to the most excellent biblical exposition, the plenary sessions will focus on a series of Scripture texts in which God shows himself to human beings. We'll hear teaching from women who love to expound the Word, and from several of Together for the Gospel's founding members. A rich selection of seminars will be offered by women who are living out the biblcal gospel in a wide varity of confexts, seeing God and serving God with transformed and transforming lives. Keith and Kristyn Getty will lead us in rich musical worship. Our ultimate aim is to fix our eyes together on the Lord God who has shown himself to us in Jesus Christ. This is a conference that will improve our eyesight.
