Your Invitation To The Preacher’s Rest 2019 Scott Pauley

Rest-Final-Front-768x432 (1)

Rest is not a dirty word. It is, in fact, essential to all good work. God instituted rest before the fall of man. It is hardwired into creation and indispensable to man. Rest for spirit, soul, and body is designed to bring us nearer to the God who created us! If Adam needed rest before he sinned, how much more does man need it now. God’s people need the rest that only God can give.

The Preacher’s Rest is not designed to merely give men a retreat. It is a meeting to help us find our rest in God – the rest that He gives in the midst of our labor. Preachers who are not tired are probably not working very hard! But we must learn what to do in our weariness.

Last year nearly a hundred preachers and preacher’s wives joined us for The Preacher’s Rest. The presence of God and fellowship with one another was such a refreshment to us all! We are expecting a great time this year on September 2-4 and would like for you to join us.

Set aside Monday, “Labor Day” evening, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning to be part of The Preacher’s Rest! You can find more details and register online at thepreachersrest.com. The first 30 preachers to register who were not with us last year will receive a jump drive containing 16 sessions from the 2018 Preacher’s Rest.

Tammy and I, along with Pastor Scott and Melanie Hooks, look forward to seeing you in Hickory, NC later this year. May God continue to bless you and your labor for souls.

Mathematically, it is impossible that one man could fulfill so many unique prophecies, many of which were related to the actions of others toward him. How can you orchestrate your death in such a specific manner i.e. By crucifixion (not invented) between criminals, being given vinegar to drink while dying, being killed at the hands of the Gentiles, after being betrayed by your dear friend? These are a fraction of the hundreds of such prophecies Jesus fulfilled. It is only possible if that Man was the God-man - Jesus Christ. Our Approach The prophecies in our list are many of those connected to the circumstances, surroundings, characteristics, events, manners, and traits that the Lord Jesus fulfilled during His earthly ministry. It is by no means comprehensive but serves as a reference and devotional guide to those seeking the Lord Jesus. Types and figures have been omitted, for they are woven throughout the entirety of Scripture. Truly, every part of the Written Word points to the Word made flesh, Who dwelt among us (John 1:14). We trust this list of 55 prophecies about the first coming of Christ will serve to demonstrate the total confidence you can have that Jesus is the Messiah, the Redeemer, The Son of God.
