“The nature of the gospel,” Graeme Goldsworthy observes, “is such that it establishes Jesus Christ at the center of the biblical message.”
To that end, we looked across the whole scriptural narrative to see Christ as the center at Clarus ’18 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Stephen Wellum and Trent Hunter preached messages on the covenantal progressions in Scripture, alongside their new book, Christ from Beginning to End.
Attended by 700 from across the region, Clarus is TGC’s Southwest Regional Conference hosted by Desert Springs Church in partnership with TGC Albuquerque.
