The Gospel Coalition 2009 National Conference DVD ("Entrusted With the Gospel: Living the Vision of 2 Timothy") is now available for purchase ($19.99). Here's the description from Crossway:

This DVD from The Gospel Coalition's 2009 National Conference features twelve sessions exploring the great responsibility of being entrusted with the Gospel. With expositions of 2 Timothy and other biblical texts, Tim Keller, Don Carson, John Piper, Phil Ryken, Mark Driscoll, K. Edward Copeland, Bryan Chapell, Ligon Duncan, C. J. Mahaney, Ajith Fernando, and Josh Harris model faithful preaching rooted in Scripture.

Sessions take up themes such as courage in gospel preaching, gospel-faithful mission, the pastor’s charge, ministering in a church-hopping society, and finishing well. The conference DVD will help you better live the vision of 2 Timothy in your ministry.

You can purchase the DVD here or watch the sessions for free here.

The Gospel Coalition 2011 National Conference

It seems every week we get an inquiry about when our next national conference is---and we love this! We love it because it confirms what we sensed last April when we met for The Gospel Coalition 2009 National Conference, namely, that God is doing something significant through TGC to promote gospel-centered ministry for the next generation.

Because we understand that many of you are already making arrangements for the conference(s) you plan to attend in 2010 and 2011, we want to make sure our next national conference has an opportunity to get on your calendar.

The next national conference for The Gospel Coalition will be April 12-14, 2011 at the McCormick Place in downtown Chicago. The theme and speakers will be announced in the coming months.

As a reminder, our national conference is held every other year. In the off years, we hold a small, private conference for our Council members for the purpose of prayer, fellowship, and discussion. During these off years, we encourage people to attend the Together for the Gospel (T4G) conference. Their next conference is April 13-15, 2010 in Louisville, KY on the theme “The (Unadjusted) Gospel."

While conferences are only part of what we do at TGC, they're a significant part. We are grateful for your prayers and support as we work hard to ensure that our next national conference is done to the glory of God.

Speaking of conferences, the Desiring God 2009 National Conference begins today. The good folks at DG have created a Website for the conference including a live blog (and Twitter stream) that will keep those of us that can't attend updated on the event. Here's the welcome post from Eric Johnson:

Welcome to the Desiring God 2009 National Conference! We're excited to worship and learn with you and look forward to an amazing weekend. When the conference kicks off on Friday evening, watch this space for live blog updates, photos, and summaries of each session posted by DG staff and volunteers. We trust this site will help both those in attendance and those following along at home to feel even more connected to what's happening during this year's conference. Thanks for your interest and support. We thank God for you all!
