Leadership Conference

A Leadership Conference is offered each March to churches, the community and our students. It is sponsored by SBC and its supporting conferences. A guest speaker(s) presents a series of lectures on a topic that will challenge and encourage those in various fields of ministry.


How Long O Lord? Suffering with an All Powerful God

A theology of suffering begins with understanding what it means for God to be all powerful. A common defense of an all powerful God is that he grants freedom to humans who bring about pain and suffering. Biblical theology does not explain the origin of evil; both in the psalms and in the creation story of Genesis evil is present before humans are created. The biblical writers never try to explain away evil, they call on an all powerful God to blast evil away. This series of studies will look at how God achieves full dominion by building relationships that lead to peace. God deals with suffering in a process by which all things are brought together for good to those that love him and are called to follow his purpose.

Losing to Gain: Lives Worthy of the Gospel

Lives worthy of the gospel (Php 1:27) are lives lived for Christ and lives lived for each other. In Philippians Paul moves back and forth between those two. He comes at worthy lives several different ways, but it boils down to living for Christ and for others in the family of Christ. In the first session, we’ll look at the opening prayer for love, a remarkably thorough explanation of how love fits into God’s purposes (Php 1:9-11). In the second session we’ll hear Paul evaluate his troubling circumstances (Php 1:12-28). He does not think about difficulties as we do. In the third session we see Christ as the ultimate example of living for others (Php 2), and some other examples. In the fourth session we survey what Paul left behind to gain Christ, and how he gains Christ. Paul deliberately makes his life an echo of the Christ hymn (Php 2:6-11). That is, what Christ did to gain Paul and us, Paul in turn does to gain Christ. And that’s a life worthy of the gospel.

Living Non-Violently in a Violent World

Acts of violence have become all too common in our world today. What does the Bible say about how we are to respond to this violence? In session one, Sprinkle will lay a biblical foundation for nonviolence through the New Testament, including an examination of the words of Jesus. But what about all the violence in the Old Testament? Session two will tackle some of the more challenging, violent texts of the Old Testament by looking at Israel’s own violent history. Session three will address some of the main objections to nonviolence that have been made by those living in the twenty-first century. Session four will paint a picture of what it look like for the church to live nonviolently in the midst of a violent world.

Leadership Lessons from David

David is known as a man after God’s own heart, but what does that mean? In session one of Leadership Lessons from David, we will look at the challenges real leaders face daily - sometimes getting it right, sometimes messing things up, but always being called into a wholehearted pursuit of God. Session two will look at the worshipping life of the leader, and why as goes our worship, so goes our leadership. In session three, we’ll explore the leader’s prayer life as both a doorway to deeper intimacy with God and as a taproot to greater strength from God for dealing with the demands, temptations, and disappointments of leadership. The closing session will probe what goes into going the distance as a leader.

The Gospel According to Moses

The Gospel According to Moses:Rediscovering the Gospel in the Old Testament Cast as a collection of Moses’ farewell sermons to his congregation, Deuteronomy represents an impassioned appeal to believers of all ages not to forget that they are entirely the product of divine grace. The New Testament emphasizes that YHWH, the God who mercifully redeemed Israel, called her to covenant relationship with himself, and commissioned her to be his agents of grace, is incarnate in Jesus Christ.

DR. DANIEL L. BLOCK has lectured and taught internationally in nine countries.
