Let me welcome you to the 2015 Pastors’ Conference. The theme this year is Pulpit to the Nations.
As pastors, staff members, and laypeople, we have a call to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ next door,
and as far around the world as we possibly can. That should be not just our aim or our goal, but our
passion and joy.
This year we welcome some of the world’s most gifted, anointed, and passionate servants of God
to challenge us. Dan Meyer, in his fascinating book Witness Essentials, gives us some incredible
statistics about the church around the world.
• In 1900, Korea had no Protestant church. Today, there are more than 7,000 churches in just the
city of Seoul, South Korea.
• At the end of the 19th century, the southern portion of Africa was only 3 percent Christian.
Today, 63 percent of the population is Christian, while membership in the churches in Africa is
increasing by 34,000 people per day.
• In India, 14 million of the 140 million members of the “untouchable” caste have become
Christians.
• More people in the Islamic world have come to Christ in the last 25 years than in the entire
history of Christian missions.
• In Islamic Indonesia, the percentage of Christians is now so high (around 15 percent) that the
Muslim government will no longer print statistics.
• In China, it is estimated that there are now more self-avowed disciples of Jesus than members
of the Communist party. Even the most conservative estimates suggest that China will soon
have more Christians than any country.
• Across the planet, followers of Jesus are increasing by more than 80,000 per day.
• 510 new churches form every day.
The tragedy is that the church is growing everywhere but in Western Europe and in Western North
America, which is home for most of us. While you will be challenged to take the gospel to the world
over the next few days, let’s not forget that we have a call to take the gospel next door, as well.
I pray that these next few days will be used of God to challenge us all about missions and evangelism,
and that they will also be days of great enrichment and encouragement.
Mac Brunson, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church Jacksonville

Whole Lot of Pride
I am afraid there is a whole lot of pride in the modern pulpit. There is a whole
lot of pride in the seminary classroom. There is a whole lot of pride in the church
staff. It is one of the reasons for all the relational conflict in the church. It is why
we are often better theological gatekeepers than tender and humble spokesmen
for the gospel. It is why pastors often seem unapproachable. It is why we get
angry in meetings or defensive when someone disagrees with us or points out a
wrong.
PRIDE IN THE PULPIT
BY: PAUL TRIPP
When I hear an essentially law-driven sermon, asking the law to do what
only the grace of Jesus Christ can accomplish, I am immediately concerned
about the preacher. I wonder about his view of himself, because if you have
any self-consciousness about your own weakness and sin, you find little
hope and comfort for yourself and your hearers in that kind of sermon.
You see this dynamic in the Pharisees. Because they thought of themselves
as righteous, perfect law-keepers, they had no problem laying unbearable
burdens on others. Their misuse of the law had its roots not only in bad
theology, but also in ugly human pride. They saw the law as keepable,
because they thought they were keeping it. And they thought others should
keep it as well as they did. They were the religious leaders of their day, but
they were arrogant, insensitive, and judgmental. They were not part of what
God was doing at the moment---no, they were in the way of it.
16
We are too self-assured. We are too confident. We too quickly assess that we
are okay. We too quickly make heroes out of ourselves and others. We too often
take credit for what sovereign grace produced. We too often think we don’t need
the help the normal believer needs. We are too quick to speak and too slow to
listen. We too often take as personal affronts what is not personal. We quit being
students too soon. We have too little time for meditative communion with Christ
nailed into our schedules. We confidently assign to ourselves more ministry work
than we can do. We live in more isolation than is spiritually healthy.
Not Yet Free
You are not yet free of sin and all its attendant dangers. You are capable of giving
way to disastrous things. You are capable of losing your way. You are capable of
ungodly attitudes and dark desires. You have not been completely delivered from
pride, greed, lust, anger, and bitterness. Sometimes you minister with the attitude
of a king, rather than one called to represent the King. You do not always love God
above all else. You do not always love your neighbor as yourself. You are not always
kind and compassionate. You are not always patient and forgiving. Sometimes you
love your little kingdom of one more than you love God’s kingdom. There are times
when you love comfort and pleasure more than you love redemption. There are
times when pride renders you unkind and unapproachable.
17
There are times when you want your ministry to be about you. There are times when
you’re irritated by the very people you’ve been called to pastor. You are not proud of
all your thoughts. You would not want your congregation to hear all of your words.
You do things in private moments that you would not want to be seen publicly.
These things are true of me as well. And they testify to the fact that we who are
called to provide and lead ministry desperately need ministry ourselves. We who
proclaim the message of grace deeply need grace ourselves. We have not arrived.
We have not moved beyond a moment-by-moment need for grace. We are not yet out
of danger. We are not yet free from temptation. The war for our hearts still rages.
We still fail and fall.
But we have been blessed with the same grace we offer others. This grace humbles
us as it exposes in us the very sin we are tempted to deny or minimize. Isn’t it good to
know we rest not in our perfection, but Christ’s? We do not promote our reputation
but his. The Savior uses people in process as tools of his process of grace in others,
so we need not deny our neediness.

2. Preaching is a far more serious task than most preachers realize.
Richard Baxter: And for myself, as I am ashamed of my dull and careless heart,
and of my slow and unprofitable course of life, so, the Lord knows, I am ashamed
of every sermon I preach; when I think what I have been speaking of, and who
sent me, and that men’s salvation or damnation is so much concerned in it, I
am ready to tremble lest God should judge me as a slighter of His truths and
the souls of men, and lest in the best sermon I should be guilty of their blood.
Me thinks we should not speak a word to men in matters of such consequence
without tears, or the greatest earnestness that possibly we can; were not we
too much guilty of the sin which we reprove, it would be so.
Source: Richard Baxter, “The Need for Personal Revival.” Cited from Historical
Collections Relating to Remarkable Periods of the Success of the Gospel, ed.
John Gillies (Kelso: John Rutherfurd, 1845), 147.
3. Faithfulness in the pulpit begins with the pursuit of personal holiness.
PREACHERS ON PREACHING
BY: NATHAN BUSENITZ
Here are ten reminders for those who preach and teach the Word of God
… as confirmed by some of history’s greatest preachers.
1. Effective ministry consists not of fads or gimmicks, but of
faithfully preaching the truth.
Charles Spurgeon: Ah, my dear friends, we want nothing in these
times for revival in the world but the simple preaching of the gospel.
This is the great battering ram that shall dash down the bulwarks of
iniquity. This is the great light that shall scatter the darkness. We need
not that men should be adopting new schemes and new plans. We are
glad of the agencies and assistances which are continually arising;
but after all, the true Jerusalem blade, the sword that can cut to the
piercing asunder of the joints and marrow, is preaching the Word of
God. We must never neglect it, never despise it. The age in which the
pulpit is despised, will be an age in which gospel truth will cease to be
honored. . . . God forbid that we should begin to depreciate preaching.
Let us still honor it; let us look to it as God’s ordained instrumentality,
and we shall yet see in the world a repetition of great wonders wrought
by the preaching in the name of Jesus Christ.
28
Robert Murray M’Cheyne: Take heed to thyself. Your own soul is your first and
greatest care. You know a sound body alone can work with power; much more
a healthy soul. Keep a clear conscience through the blood of the Lamb. Keep up
close communion with God. Study likeness to Him in all things. Read the Bible
for your own growth first, then for your people. Expound much; it is through the
truth that souls are to be sanctified, not through essays upon the truth.
Source: Robert Murray M’Cheyne, letter dated March 22, 1839, to Rev W.C.
Burns, who had been named to take M’Cheyne’s pulpit during the latter’s trip to
Palestine. Andrew Bonar, ed, Memoir and Remains of Robert Murray M’Cheyne
(Banner of Truth, 1966), 273-74.
4. Powerful preaching flows from powerful prayer.
E. M. Bounds: The real sermon is made in the closet. The man – God’s man
– is made in the closet. His life and his profoundest convictions were born in
his secret communion with God. The burdened and tearful agony of his spirit,
his weightiest and sweetest messages were got when alone with God. Prayer
makes the man; prayer makes the preacher; prayer makes the pastor. . . . Every
preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry
is weak as a factor in God’s work and is powerless to project God’s cause in this
world.
Source: E.M. Bounds, Power Through Prayer. From chapter 1, “Men of Prayer
Needed.”
29
5. Passionate preaching starts with one’s passion for Christ.
Phillip Brooks: Nothing but fire kindles fire. To know in one’s whole nature what
it is to live by Christ; to be His, not our own; to be so occupied with gratitude for
what He did for us and for what He continually is to us that His will and His glory
shall be the sole desires of our life . . . that is the first necessity of the preacher.
that many lecturers simply dictate notes and the wretched students take them
down. That is not the business of a lecturer or a professor. The students can read
the books for themselves; the business of the professor is to put that on fire, to
enthuse, to stimulate, to enliven. And that is the primary business of preaching.
Let us take this to heart. … What we need above everything else today is moving,
passionate, powerful preaching. It must be ‘warm’ and it must be ‘earnest’.
Source: Phillips Brooks, Lectures on Preaching, originally published in 1877.
Republished in 1989 by Kregel under the title The Joy of Preaching. As cited in “The
Priority of Prayer in Preaching” by James Rosscup, The Masters Seminary Journal,
Spring 1991.
Source: D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, “Jonathan Edwards and the Crucial Importance of
Revival.” Lecture delivered at the Puritan and Westminster Conference (1976).
6. The preacher is a herald, not an innovator.
R. B. Kuiper: The minister must always remember that the dignity of his office
adheres not in his person but in his office itself. He is not at all important, but his
office is extremely important. Therefore he should take his work most seriously
without taking himself seriously. He should preach the Word in season and out
of season in forgetfulness of self. He should ever have an eye single to the glory
of Christ, whom he preaches, and count himself out. It should be his constant
aim that Christ, whom he represents, may increase while he himself decreases.
Remembering that minister means nothing but servant, he should humbly, yet
passionately, serve the Lord Christ and His church.
R. L. Dabney: The preacher is a herald; his work is heralding the King’s message.
. . . Now the herald does not invent his message; he merely transmits and explains
it. It is not his to criticize its wisdom or fitness; this belongs to his sovereign
alone. On the one hand, . . . he is an intelligent medium of communication with
the king’s enemies; he has brains as well as a tongue; and he is expected so to
deliver and explain his master’s mind, that the other party shall receive not only
the mechanical sounds, but the true meaning of the message. On the other hand,
it wholly transcends his office to presume to correct the tenor of the propositions
he conveys, by either additions or change. . . . The preacher’s business is to take
what is given him in the Scriptures, as it is given to him, and to endeavor to imprint
it on the souls of men. All else is God’s work.
Source: R.L. Dabney, Evangelical Eloquence: A Course of Lectures on Preaching
(Banner of Truth, 1999; originally published as Sacred Rhetoric, 1870), 36-37.
7. The faithful preacher stays focused on what matters.
G. Campbell Morgan: Nothing is more needed among preachers today than that
we should have the courage to shake ourselves free from the thousand and one
trivialities in which we are asked to waste our time and strength, and resolutely
return to the apostolic ideal which made necessary the office of the diaconate.
[We must resolve that] “we will continue steadfastly in prayer, and in the ministry
of the Word.”
9. The preacher is to be Christ-exalting, not self-promoting.
Source: R.B. Kuiper, The Glorious Body of Christ (Banner of Truth, 1966), 140-42.
10. Faithful preaching requires great personal discipline and sacrifice.
Arthur W. Pink: The great work of the pulpit is to press the authoritative claims
of the Creator and Judge of all the earth—to show how short we have come
of meeting God’s just requirements, to announce His imperative demand of
repentance. . . . It requires a “workman” and not a lazy man—a student and not a
slothful one—who studies to “show himself approved unto God” and not one who
seeks the applause and the shekels of men.
Source: A. W. Pink, “Preaching False and True,” Online Source.
Source: G. Campbell Morgan, This Was His Faith: The Expository Letters of G.
Campbell Morgan, edited by Jill Morgan (Fleming Revell, Westwood, NJ), 1952.
8. The preacher’s task is to make the text come alive for his hearers.
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: As preachers we must not forget this. We are not
merely imparters of information. We should tell our people to read certain books
themselves and get the information there. The business of preaching is to make
such knowledge live. The same applies to lecturers in Colleges. The tragedy is

PREACH THE WORD.
PREACHING THAT CUTS TO THE HEART
BY: TIM KELLER
Recently, a couple of books and websites have referenced me as a good
example of how to exegete and “engage culture” in the task of preaching.
They include citations of certain cultural references in my sermons. While
I know this is meant as a compliment, for which I am grateful, I also have
some concerns about the way this practice has been described. I can easily
imagine that some (especially younger) preachers will aspire to imitate the
method and miss the underlying principle.
YEAR
HAVE A ION
OF TUIT
ON US
Southwestern Seminary is committed to walking alongside Godcalled men and women on their road to ministry. We provide sound,
biblical education to equip you and help remove barriers that can
hinder you along the way. We’d like to introduce the new Road to
Ministry Scholarship to give Master of Divinity and college students
a year of tuition on us. Learn more at swbts.edu/roadtoministry.
PREACH THE WORD. REACH THE WORLD. | SWBTS.EDU
I think it may be possible to say that every sermon should have three
aspects or purposes. First, you need to preach the text in its scriptural
context; second, you need to preach Christ and the gospel every time; and
finally, you need to preach to the heart. Put another way, you should preach
the truth, not just your opinion; you should preach the good news, not just
good advice; and you should preach to make the truth real to the heart,
not just clear to the mind. The first is often discussed under the heading of
expository preaching, the second is often called Christ-centered preaching,
and the third is usually named “application” (though I think each aspect
contains more than these traditional categories might imply).
In that schema, where does “cultural engagement” come into my sermons?
Most people would say that it does not fit into the scheme—preach the
text, preach Christ, and preach to the heart. They might be tempted to
55
add a fourth category. But that might suggest that cultural references are principally
there to give the preacher some personal credibility. That would be a mistake. To make
references for that purpose would tempt you to basically show off your learning or
maybe your cultural hipness. That is not what I’m trying to do.
You might be surprised to hear me say that my use of cultural references is actually
part of my effort to reach the heart. But, you may respond, aren’t those references to
Nietzsche or de Kooning highly intellectual, designed to appeal to the mind and not
the emotions? Not exactly. One of the keys is in how we define “the heart.” Remember
that according to the Bible, the heart is not primarily the emotions but rather the seat
of our fundamental commitments and trusts, and therefore it is the control center
of the whole life. So to preach to the heart means to go right for the commanding
commitments of people’s lives that drive their desires, thinking, feeling, and action.
Collective Heart
There are many working definitions of “culture,” but I think one of the best is that
culture is a collective heart. It is a set of commanding commitments held and shared
by a community of people. My hearers—both Christians and non-Christians—live in
the highly secular, late modern (some would say postmodern) cosmopolitan culture of
Manhattan. This ethos is pulling on the hearts of all its residents. It is the source of so
many of their deep aspirations, unspoken fears, and inner conflicts.

The “cultural references,” then, are simply my way of entering the world of my hearers,
helping them understand at a deep level what is shaping their daily work, their romantic
and family relationships, their attitudes toward sex, money, and power. I seek to make
plain the foundations of our city’s culture in order to help people understand themselves
more fully and imagine what it means (or would mean) to live as a Christian here.
Christy Allen
Pastors’ Wives’ Luncheon
So it would be a mistake to merely imitate any preacher who makes a lot of cultural
references in his sermons. In many parts of the world, citing Kierkegaard is not all that
unusual, and if done rightly can lead people to say, “Oh, so that’s why I tend to think
and feel that way.” That’s what you want to achieve. But in many other parts of the
world it might only make people say, “Wow, he’s really intellectual and smart.” If that
latter response is what you get from people (or worse yet, what you want from them)
then you need to make some changes. The universal principle is found in Acts 2:37—
preaching must “cut to the heart.” The means and methods we take to get to that end
depend a lot on, well, your culture.

Christy, Tim Tebow’s older sister, attended Jacksonville
University on a music scholarship and graduated in 1998 with
a Bachelor of Music Education degree, and then earned a
Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2004.
Christy is married to Joey and they have two children, Claire
and Joey IV. In 2005, Joey and Christy wrote and illustrated
a series of four children’s books entitled, Big Thoughts for
Little Thinkers, published by New Leaf Press. They have also
written and illustrated a gospel tract entitled Welcome to Heaven, published by EvanTell. This tract
is available in more than 10 languages.
Currently, the Allens live in South Asia, laboring to improve the physical and spiritual lives of some
of the most neglected people in the world.
Musical Artist: Alison Everill
A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Alison began her music
ministry as a childhood church musician. From then until now,
she has chronicled her faith journey through her beautiful
music. From the moment Alison sits at the piano to express
her worship for Jesus through one of her original worship
songs, listeners are drawn in to hear the passion in her voice
and sense her devotion to the Lord through her powerful
lyrics that speak volumes not only about her music but her life. She composes her own music and
powerfully delivers each Christ-centered message.
Alison’s home church for many years was First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, FL where she
ministered in song at their annual Pastors’ Conference. She was the worship musician at the
churches where her husband pastored, and has traveled to many places over the years to serve the
body of Christ in song. She has written and sung with Dove Award winning artist Babbie Mason,
and has had several songs signed with Gaither Publishing Company.
Alison is married to Scott. They are the parents of 3 growing boys and they make their home in
North Georgia where she is currently the worship leader at First Baptist Church of Holly Springs.

The ESV Reader’s Bible was created
for those who want to read Scripture
precisely as it was originally written
– as an unbroken narrative. Verse
numbers, chapter and section
headings, and translation footnotes
are helpful navigational and interpretive
tools, but they are also relatively recent
conventions. In the ESV Reader’s Bible
they have been removed from the Bible
text. The result is a new kind of Biblereading experience – one that provides
an uninterrupted view of the Bible’s

MINISTERS OF GRACE IN NEED OF GRACE
BY: PAUL TRIPP
“Pulpits are for pastors, stages are for entertainers.” - Alistair Begg
I was a very angry man. The problem was that I didn’t know I was an angry
man. My wife, Luella, knew that I was angry. My kids knew I was angry. But I
didn’t know. Luella was very faithful in bringing that anger before me with its
resultant failures to love my family. She did it often and with much grace. But I
wouldn’t listen. Again and again, I would wrap myself in robes of righteousness
and tell her what a great husband I was. I said I would pray for her problem
with discontentment. (That helped her!) I was a man in the midst of destroying
my marriage, family, and ministry; and I didn’t know it.
This is embarrassing to admit, but there was an occasion when Luella was
confronting me and I said these deeply humble words: “Ninety-five percent of
the women in our church would love to be married to a man like me.” (Luella
very quickly informed me that she was part of the 5 percent!) I was convinced
that no one had a more accurate picture of me than I did. And in my blindness I
also failed to see and fear the disaster that I was heading toward.
75
On the way home from a ministry training weekend, my brother Tedd suggested
that we should make the things we’d learned practical to our personal lives. He
then began to ask questions about my marriage. As he asked, it was as if God was
ripping down curtains, and I saw and heard myself with accuracy for the first time
in years. Praise God for the specificity of the convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit.
As my eyes were open, I couldn’t believe what I had said and done. I was broken
and grieved. It was hard for me to believe that that man who I was seeing was me.
I couldn’t wait to get home.
2. The fact that a pastor is a man in the middle of his own sanctification.
When I entered my house that night, Luella could tell that something was up by
my seriousness. I asked her if we could talk. After we sat down I said, “I know for
years that you’ve been trying to talk to me about my anger and my failure to love
you and the kids as I should, and I have been unwilling to listen. I can honestly say
tonight that I’m ready to listen. I want to hear.” I will never forget what happened
next. Luella began to cry, told me that she loved me, and then talked for two hours.
In those two hours God began a process of radically undoing and rebuilding my
heart. The kind of work only his grace can do. The operative word is process. I was
not zapped by divine lightning, but I was now a man with open eyes, open ears,
and a willing heart.
How is it that in many churches we’ve constructed a culture where the pastor lives
above or outside of the body of Christ? Think about it: If Christ is the head of his
body, then everything else is just body. Since the pastor is a member of the body
of Christ, he’s in full need of what the body was designed to do and produce (see
Ephesians 4:1-16).
The next several weeks were extremely painful as I saw that anger everywhere.
But I experienced the transformative pain of grace. God was causing that anger to
become so repulsive to me that I would never want to be there again. By God’s grace
that life-dominating anger is gone. Sure, I’m capable of a moment of irritation, but
grace has removed the power of that old anger from my heart.
I have told my story to gatherings of pastors all around the world. Never have I told
it without being approached by fellow pastors who confess that they share the
same struggle. I tell my story here because it captures the themes that will make
up the content of my ministry-focused posts.
Being a pastor definitely does not mean you are a grace graduate. How seriously
do we take the ongoing need for further growth and change in the heart and lives
of those of us who lead or in those who lead us? It is impossible for a pastor to
teach or preach anything he doesn’t desperately need himself.
3. The pastor’s need for the ministry of the body of Christ.
4. The unique temptations of ministry.
There are a unique set of deceptive and seductive idols that accompany pastoral
ministry. In ministry, it’s easy to confuse building the kingdom of self with building
the kingdom of God, because in the pastorate you build both kingdoms by doing
ministry!
5. The unrelenting pursuit of grace in the life of the pastor.
The personal and ministerial security of a pastor doesn’t rest in his knowledge,
experience, or skill. No, his place of rest and hope is exactly the same as everyone
to whom he ministers: the rescuing and transforming grace of Christ Jesus. That
grace will never fail to pursue him and will again and again rescue him from himself,
often at times when he’s no idea he needs any rescue at all. With diagnostic
honesty and eternal hope, and written from a pastor to pastors, it’s that grace that
these posts are written to celebrate.
1. The reality of spiritual blindness in the life of the pastor.
If sin blinds, and it does, then as long as sin remains in the heart of a pastor, there
will be pockets of spiritual blindness. And as I have written elsewhere, the scary
thing with spiritually blind people is that they’re blind to their blindness. This
means that the pastor needs “instruments of seeing” in his life as much as the
people to whom he ministers (see Hebrews 3:12-13).

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Chat with Chad
Chad Smith, Elementary Pastor, FBC JAX
Join with other children’s leaders as we discuss any and all topics related to children’s
ministry. Let’s help and encourage one another in this interactive session.
Current Events and Children
Current events and news from around the world can be scary for children. Learn how to
best educate and answer the questions children have about what they see and hear.
Top 20 Children’s Ministry Tools!
Check out the top 20 must-have tools for every church and children’s ministry.
Tour of Children’s Bldg
Join us for a ministry-focused tour of the FBC JAX Children’s Building.
CHURCH ADMINISTRATION
Creating an Effective Church Policies and Procedures Manual
Rex Frieze, Frieze Consulting
In the current day, a Policies and Procedures Manual is a must for every church, no matter
their size or denomination affiliation. Where there is no documentation, there will be no
accountability! We will review each of the six main policy areas of a church: leadership/
management oversight; personnel/staff; financial; building/grounds/vehicles; general
administration/church office; and ministries/auxiliaries.
Fear from the State Regarding Your Tax-Exemption Status
Many pastors are fearful of losing their tax-exempt status if they speak out against
governmental policies and practices. This fear is muzzling many pastors from proclaiming
the “full counsel of God.” Needed sermons are being neglected and damaging social issues
are not being addressed from the pulpit. This session will address the truths about church
tax-exemption status and encourage pastors to speak boldly to those under their care.
90
Kingdom Business
John Blount, Senior Executive Pastor, FBC JAX
Communicating the gospel to the world is a serious business, deserving the leader’s best
skills and practices in carrying it out. Both personally and corporately, ministry requires
much of a leader. Join us in discussion as we consider healthy leadership, business
essentials, organizational excellence and visional clarity for the work God has entrusted
us to do.
Manage the Church with Prevention in Mind
Under Preventative Management, the church leadership tries to identify and prevent
ministry weaknesses and deficiencies from occurring or expanding, instead of waiting
for them to happen. In this session, we will address “15 Important Organizational and
Operational Internal Controls of a Church” to protect the church against possible risks and
exposures.
Preparing Your Church for an Economic Collapse
An economic collapse in the United States seems inevitable. If it occurs, will God’s church
be adequately prepared to minister to members and community? In this workshop, we
will address the current economic indicators warning of such a collapse, focusing on
organizational structure and operation procedures needed to best serve others during
challenging times.
Protecting God’s People–The “Why” and “How” of Church Security
Jeremiah Thompson, Security Director, FBC JAX
Security should not be the main focus of any church, but providing adequate security
creates an environment for making disciples–one where people don’t fear violence and
where memories of violence don’t hinder them from attending. This seminar will emphasize
not only the importance of having church security, but also give guidelines on how to start
and provide for the foundations of any church security ministry.
COUNSELING
Evangelism and Discipleship through Biblical Counseling
Tricia Holmes, FBC JAX Member
How does biblical counseling effectively impact the Kingdom and community for evangelism
and discipleship? Biblical counseling is core for effective evangelism and discipleship.
Biblical counseling IS evangelism and discipleship.

DEACONS
COUNSELING (CONT.)
Finally Free

HELP! My Child Says He’s Gay!
Bill Winton, Christian Family Chapel Counseling Ministry

hosting a church discipleship seminar to better equip your congregation to appropriately
share the love and hope of Jesus Christ in tough times.
A Pastoral Response to Homosexuality
Heath Lambert, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
As our culture shifts, faithful churches understand that homosexual behavior is wrong.
Pastors also have to know how to think about homosexual orientation and how to do

behavior, homosexual orientation, and how to do ministry with people struggling with
homosexual sin.

DISCIPLESHIP
Advancing Disciples

discover how discipleship can revolutionize your church.
Discipling Demas
Jeremy Pellum, Brad Taunton, Andrew Morrell, Bradley Addison,
FBC JAX South Staff & Members
The challenge of a church plant / satellite/ small-church ministry is finding mature young
men who will blossom into a “Timothy.” In our search for Timothy, though, are we neglecting
those like John Mark, Demas, Lucius, et all? Don’t be afraid to invest in young men–even
those who might eventually disappoint you.
Disciple-Making Testimonies
Do you want to hear from ten First Baptist laypeople who have been influenced by One2Won
Discipleship Training? This seminar will empower and excite you to learn how this study has
been proven to take two people growing in God’s Word to multiply by 2 more and 2 more.

Millennials & The Church: What’s the Connection?
Derek Gillette, Communications Manager, eChurchGiving and Pushpay
A recent statistic highlighted that out of 45,000 Bapist churches, 80% baptize less
than two young adults a year. Yet at the same time, Millennials are giving to charities,
crowd funding, and desperately seeking to create social justice occupations. What’s the
disconnect then?

life’s adventures. Learn how to teach in a way that makes His Love Letter come alive to both
the mind AND the heart.
96
Ministering to This Generation, Impacting the Next Generation
More than 65 percent of the people attending most churches are adults. With a rapidly
changing culture, ever declining participation from younger adults, widening differences
among generations, and a constantly growing boomer and older population, the time
for urgency and intentionality to make adult disciples is now. Join us as we explore the
nuts and bolts of adult ministry in order to minister to this generation while impacting
the next.

ETHICS
Politics and Faith
Michael & Glo Smith, FBC JAX Members
Michael and Glo bring a host of experiences to this topic. A retired Florida State Trooper,
Michael currently serves as a State Attorney’s Office investigator. For more than thirty
years, Glo has served her community through business and public service, including a
recent run for Congress. This workshop is designed to help you to live out your faith
in your sphere of influence by examining the influence of the world’s culture on the
church compared to the church’s influence to the culture. Christians should pray for
our government, but most importantly put actions to their prayer in order to impact our
world.
Shining God’s Light in the Social and Political Arena
Michael & Glo Smith, FBC JAX Members
Michael and Glo bring a host of experiences to this topic. A retired Florida State Trooper,
Michael currently serves as a State Attorney’s Office investigator. For more than thirty
years, Glo has served her community through business and public service, including a
recent run for Congress. Is It God’s will for His church to sit silent in the wake of the
moral decay in society/culture? Faith-based organizations contribute significantly to
the well-being of society by providing health care, shelter, education, and countless
other social services. However, we sometimes take a lackadaisical role when it comes
to Christians participating in the social and political process. We have a responsibility to
educate, empower, and encourage believers to take an active role in both of these areas.
97
MEDIA/COMMUNICATIONS
EVANGELISM

Burl Traylor/Kimberly Hansen, Sidewalk Funday School Ministry

Morgan Browning, Ortega Campus Pastor, FBC JAX

sport of fishing to evangelism, this seminar will unveil an easy-to-follow course that
a pastor or lay person can use to train members to share the gospel. The five-week

connecting and much more. You will receive a booklet for teachers and students.
David & Ronni Klempner, Pastor of African Ministries, FBC JAX and FBC JAX Member
Many people struggle with domestic violence, divorce, drug and alcohol abuse, and
suicide. As they attempt to find answers and fulfillments, many of them will walk down
the very same roads David and Ronni did. Hear their testimony of discovering that by
placing their faith in the person of Jesus Christ, their earthly problems were no longer
unmanageable.

The focus of this ministry is to those who live in multi-housing communities. Public
housing in the United States represents more than 1.2 million households. This seminar
will help you recognize the huge upside to reaching out to these communities. At the
same time, it will help you avoid the pitfalls of costly mistakes.
What Is the Role of the Church When a Disaster Strikes?
Luther Harrison, Samaritan’s Purse
When a man-made or natural disaster strikes, the church has the opportunity to be a
“Good Samaritan” and as the hands and feet of Christ, we can help meet the physical,
spiritual and emotional needs of the people. This ministry earns us the right to share
that we are working in Jesus’ name! Samaritan’s Purse has been responding to disasters
around the world and we have the opportunity to do mission work and minister here in

discuss how we can be prepared to work together before the next storm!

6 for effective sermon preparation, research, and personal Bible study.

in your student ministry.
