Conference Description

The apostle Paul wrote his letter to the church at Philippi from a Roman jail, and yet this is a letter about joy. How could that be? Paul was a man filled with Christ Jesus. He knew Jesus and was confident in what the Lord had done for him. And so Paul’s great passion—the desire that fueled his life—was to exalt and proclaim his glorious Lord and Savior. Paul’s joy was unshakeable, and it was founded upon the rock of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In these days of pandemic and confusion, could there be a more appropriate subject than joy? We all need reminders of who Christ is and who we are as believers in Him. And with that in mind, the Quakertown Conference on Reformed Theology returns to a live conference this November 12-13 as we explore Paul’s letter to the Philippians. The game plan is simple: we will work through this marvelous, encouraging letter in six sessions spread over Friday night, Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon.

QCRT is excited and privileged to be joined by this year’s speakers: John Currie, Ray Ortlund, and Philip Ryken. We begin on Friday night with Philippians 1:1 and continue through to the end of the letter—Philippians 4:23—on Saturday afternoon. No workshops or seminars. Just six messages that extol the glorious Gospel as our speakers begin at the beginning of the letter and conclude as Paul concludes, with “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.”

The Quakertown Conference on Reformed Theology, a partnered event with the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals since 2008, will take place at Grace Bible Fellowship Church in Quakertown. We know you will be blessed as we worship together and by sitting under the faithful proclamation of the Word.
