Dear Friends,

The Lord willing, Grace Baptist Church of Danville, Danville, Kentucky will host our 29TH ANNUAL SOVEREIGN GRACE BIBLE CONFERENCE on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 29th, August 30th, and 31st, 2008. E-Mail Donald S. Fortner, Pastor – Telephone 859-236-8235 We want you to attend.

I have asked six faithful pastors and one of our missionaries to join us for this time of worship through the preaching of the gospel. These are men who preach the gospel of God's free and sovereign grace in Christ. I am confident that each of them will seek and bring us a message from the Lord our God that will challenge, comfort and encourage us in the knowledge of our God and exalt him in the fullness of his redemptive glory and grace in Christ Jesus. We will be blessed by their ministry to us. As always, the theme of our conference will be the gospel of God's free and sovereign grace in Christ. Our object is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ, instruct eternity bound sinners in the way of life, and promote the preaching of the gospel.

The ladies of our church family will provide meals immediately following each of our worship services.

Also, we will have a well-staffed nursery for infants and toddlers. Mothers, your cooperation here will be greatly appreciated. I must insist that ALL CHILDREN THREE AND UNDER stay in the nursery during all services. However, because we lack the needed facilities, I must also insist that NO CHILDREN OVER FOUR be permitted to stay in the nursery.

All conference messages will be available for purchase on cassette tapes and CD and DVD disks. Information regarding the purchase of the messages is found on the back of this brochure. Please use the order form found there when ordering. Order forms will also be available at the conference.

We look forward to seeing you in Danville on Friday, August 29^th. Services will begin promptly at 7:00 P.M. If you need additional information about the conference, please feel free to write or call me. I am yours in the blessed fellowship of our Lord Jesus Christ and his gospel,

By God's Free Sovereign Grace,

Donald S. Fortner, Pastor

WHAT IS A SOVEREIGN GRACE BIBLE CONFERENCE?

Acts 15:1-35.

The first sovereign grace Bible conference was held at Jerusalem during the apostolic era. The reason for that conference and the things that transpired at it are recorded in Acts 15. This conference was held at Jerusalem about 14 years after God had saved Saul of Tarsus. In this conference three issues were dealt with and set forth with clarity by the apostles: (1.) The Believer's Freedom From The Law (vv. 5-6, 23-24) – (2.) The Method Of God's Saving Operations (Grace Alone – Faith Alone – Christ Alone) (vv. 8-11), and (3.) The Sovereign Purpose of God (v. 18). The purpose of God in predestination is the glory of his own great name in the salvation of chosen sinners.

The Problem at Jerusalem

These matters were not a problem. All who know God have recognized these facts since the beginning of time. But there was a specific problem, another matter of vital gospel doctrine needed to be clearly settled and publicly declared in unison by the servants of God.

There were some among the Pharisees who professed to believe the gospel of the grace of God in Christ, but these men sought to mix law and grace. They wanted to compel believers to be circumcised and "to keep the law of Moses". They were saying, "A man cannot be saved unless he is circumcised and he cannot live right as a Christian if he does not live by the rule of the ten commandments" (vv. 1, 5).

Needless to say, this caused quite a stir. Paul and Barnabas could not stand by quietly while these Pharisees attempted to put the yoke of bondage upon God's children who had been freed from the law. Therefore, the churches got funds together to send Paul, Barnabas, and other preachers to Jerusalem to take counsel with the apostles and elders concerning this matter (vv. 2-6). After much disputing with the Pharisees, Peter preached, then Paul preached, then James preached, and when they were finished, they wrote a letter to all the churches (vv. 7-29). They spoke with one voice, declaring to all the world that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

When the conference was over Paul, Barnabas and the other preachers went home, gathered the brethren, and read the Epistle. When God's saints read that letter, they rejoiced in the consolation of the gospel ( vv. 30-31). Then other brethren confirmed the message (v. 32). Not only did these brethren continue preaching the Word of grace, but many others were inspired to do so too (v. 35).

Our Purpose in Danville

At a sovereign grace Bible conference, we come together to clearly, publicly declare in unison, to all the world, the singular message of Holy Scripture: That salvation is the work of God's free and sovereign grace through our all glorious Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, and to encourage all who will to join us in proclaiming this message. May it please our great God to bless our conferences to that end for Christ's sake.

You are invited to join us in worship during our

29th Annual Sovereign Grace Bible Conference

Discovering Christ in Ruth
The Kinsman Redeemer

Donald S. Fortner
Evangelical Press
138 pages, f6.95
ISBN0 85234435X

The subject of Ruth's story (in the Old Testament) is redemption. This book is the picture of Christ's free love to sinners, seen through Ruth's experience. But, I warn you, those who are looking for an easy read – don't buy this book! For it pulls no punches and it deals with the real issues that affect us all spiritually. It is direct and forthright, our sin is confronted and our excuses corrected through the application of Spirit-inspired truth.

Don Fortner is thorough in his exposition of Scripture, faithful and fair as he expounds and makes clear the doctrines of grace. This is a story of love, hope and faith revived from the ashes of disobedience and failure, but especially of a God who is merciful to sinners. Those young in the faith will learn much about their Redeemer and his dealings with them daily. Those who have lost their way and grown cold will be warmed and overwhelmed by Christ's love for them still, and those who are yet in their sin will be convinced of their rebellion against a loving, righteous Redeemer and brought to repentance and faith in Christ. Those who are going on for Christ will rejoice and be encouraged to continue in his Word and to his glory.

This book is a challenge to all in our generation who live by their feelings and not by faith in Christ. You cannot read it and remain the same. It is provocative and demands a response. This is strong medicine, but all who taste it will be made whole!
