Mark Buchanan
Missions Fest 2009 Plenary Speaker
"You can either be safe or be brave," Gary Haugen says, "just not both." Churches have notoriously settled for safe. But this is the time for us to be brave. It's been a long time since anyone exclaimed of our churches what the Thessalonicans said of Paul and Silas: "Here are the men who turn the world on its head." This workshop provides biblical rationale and practical counsel to do just that.
Recording : CD 13-09 / DVD 203-09

Rest
Saturday : 09:15 AM : Hall A - Convention Center Level
Plenary Session
Mark Buchanan
Missions Fest 2009 Plenary Speaker
Mark Buchanan will speak on ‘Rest and Risk,’ two elements of prayer.
Most of us feel utterly ransacked: we’re waylaid by endless demands and stifling routines. Even our vacations have a panicky, task-like edge to them. “If I only had more time,” is the mantra of our age. But is this the real problem?
Widely acclaimed author Mark Buchanan states that what we’ve really lost is “the rest of God-the rest God bestows and, with it, that part of himself we can know only through stillness.” Stillness as a virtue is a foreign concept in our society, but there is wisdom in God’s own rhythm of work and rest. Sabbath is elixir and antidote. It is a gift for our sanity and wholeness–to prolong our lives, to enrich our relationships, to increase our fruitfulness, to make our joy complete. Jesus practiced Sabbath among those who had turned it into a dismal thing, a day for murmuring and finger-wagging, and he reminded them of the day’s true purpose: liberation-to heal, to feed, to rescue, to celebrate, to lavish and relish life abundant.
