TGCW12 - Saturday Morning Plenary Sessions
Corporate Worship lead by Keith and Kristyn Getty
Keith and Kristyn Getty have been at the forefront of the modern hymn movement over the past decade, bridging the gap between the traditional and the contemporary. They currently live in the United States where they have just finished their second album together, Awaken the Dawn, a collection of hymns that takes believers on a lyrical journey of grace and hope for all the nations. This follows their first collection of hymns, the 2006 release In Christ Alone.
In the Throne Room: The God of Holiness and Hope (Isaiah 6)
John Piper
Quotes from the session:
"He will be the living God 10 trillion ages from now when puny potshots against him sink to oblivion like BB's in the ocean."
"You don't give God authority over your life. He has absolute authority."
"Few things give us that sense of his majesty as the truth that God is utterly authoritative."
"God is not holy because he keeps the law. The law is holy because it reveals God."
"Few things give us that sense of his majesty as the truth that God is utterly authoritative."
