One of my greatest pleasures of living in Chicago is my proximity to all that a major city has to offer. This week the Gospel Coalition's National Conference is convening at McCormick Place just a few miles to the east of my apartment. The Gospel Coalition is a network of Reformed pastors, professors, and lay people committed to recovering the gospel of Jesus Christ as the very center of Christian ministry and life. The Coalition convenes every two years for a national conference, and this year the conference is entitled, "They Testify About Me: Preaching Christ from the Old Testament." If you're not in Chicago you can watch the talks live online.
