New Wine, New Wineskins

Thanks to those of you who participated in our 4th Annual Benefit Dinner, which helped raise money for our College and Seminary interns. Your strategic support means a lot to us!

This year’s Benefit Dinner was held at McMenamin’s Edgefield in Troutdale, OR. The Keynote Speaker was Ron Marlette of Mission Solano.

Dr. Paul Louis Metzger and Dr. Brad Harper will be speaking about how the church is to minister in culture as the triune God’s kingdom community.  Their talks are based on their forthcoming book with Brazos: Exploring Ecclesiology: An Evangelical and Ecumenical Introduction (2009).  Metzger and Harper will address such questions as “What is the gospel?”  “What should the church’s relation to culture be?” and “What difference does it make for the church in its ministry in the broader culture that it is the triune God’s kingdom community?”  Tony Kriz will serve as the MC for the workshop.  There will be ample time for Q&A during the proceedings.  As Christ-followers committed to Christ’s church’s missional outreach, it is important that we exegete rightly the Bible as well as the culture into which we seek to communicate the gospel.  Please join us, and help us wrestle with these important issues!  Suggested donation: $5.00 per individual.  New Wine, New Wineskins is an official program of Multnomah Biblical Seminary and is committed to assisting the entire Multnomah University community in its efforts to bear witness to Christ in contemporary culture.
