Shepherd's Conference 2011 - Day 1

The beginning of what is shaping up to be another great conference! We arrived on campus early this morning (7 AM!) to get a few of our guys registered as walk-ins. Phil Johnson opened the day with a riveting message from 2 Tim 4:1-5 on defending the truth. Yummy lunch at noon. I'm always a little amazed at how quickly they manage to feed 4500 guys a hot meal.

Ron Scruggs joined us about mid-day, just before Tom Pennington delivered an excellent teaching on pride and humility. The we all went back to a Tex-Max diner for supper, another big hit, culinary-wise, unearthed by Ernest last year.

John MacArthur closed the evening session with a thought provoking message about the withering of the fig tree and Jesus clearing the temple. Both actions were a prophetical portrayal of the judgment to come. Truly fine!

Here are a few pictures of our guys! Scott was kind enough to get some great shots.

Breakfast on campus is always a treat!
