Advance09 - Resurgence of the Local Church

Resurgence of the Local Church: A conference about God's gift to his people - the Church!

For those of you who were not able to make it out to North Carolina, (Like us) and missed the Advance09 conference, or maybe you hadn't even heard about it, here is there vision.

Vision:
Christ promises to build the Church, and that no force will prevail against it. Yet, the local church has been heavily battered in battle. Sadly, churches in America are in steady decline, with over 4000 closing their doors and 500,000 members leaving each year--never to return. This is not what the Lord desires. The Apostle Paul tells us that " . . . through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places". The local church is called to lift-up Jesus so that all the world might see Him. The local church is called to make known the Gospel and to be the vehicle of redemption for the world. Led by local churches, Advance09 is a conference committed to the resurgence of the local church for the glory of God. Our aim is to equip attendees with the Gospel so that the local church might become all that Jesus calls it to be. At this conference, we hope to ensure that on our watch and in our time we honor Jesus and see the resurgence of the local church.


Here are ALL the messages and talks for you to listen to in case you missed the conference:
