• "Fall Preaching Conference: Preaching Matthew's Gospel of Surprise", Mark Labberton, Grand Rapids, MI, October 21, 2010

  The Gospel of Matthew lays out both some of the most expected and the most unexpected dimensions of the Kingdom now at hand. If we give Matthew's text a fair hearing, we encounter one of the most bracing expressions of the Gospel anywhere in the New Testament. Preaching this gospel of surprise offers a compellingly urgent and transformative word of hope for pastors and congregations alike.

  
  
• "The Vibrant Dance of Faith and Science", Grace Church, Austin, Texas, October 26-28, 2010
  Featuring an array of speakers, including Calvin College's Deborah Haarsma, this conference will seek to empower leaders of the Christian church to hold the Gospel out to our society with fearless, Christ-honoring integrity. "We hope to equip leaders in the church to influence – even define – the terms of discussion between science and faith. The historic and oft used 'two books' analogy of God’s revelation is helpful here; the 'book of nature and the 'book' of the Bible. Since both 'books' are from the Triune God, the information revealed in these 'two books' will enhance our understanding of both, and ultimately will be acknowledged as consistent, though they may seem partially incongruent at times because of human limitations and misconceptions."
