in Christ

Assured in Christ: Rejoicing in the Hope of the Glory of God

2022 Cheyenne Reformation Conference

Dates: September 23-24, 2022

Speaker:  Dr. Jonathan Master, President, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

Can anyone know for sure that he is accepted by God and bound for heaven? If so, how? What does the Bible teach about assurance and why has it been so controversial?

Northwoods Presbyterian Church (PCA) invites you to join us this fall for our annual conference.

As always, we trust this will be an edifying and encouraging time of learning and fellowship.

Conference Schedule

Friday, September 23

7:00 pm – 8:00 pm: Session 1: “The Importance of Assurance” (1 John 5:13; Rom 5:2, 5; Heb 6:11, 19). Can I know for sure that I am in Christ? If so, what difference would it make? This session will deal with the importance of assurance of faith as defined by the scripture.

Saturday, September 24

9:00 am – 10:00 am: Session 2: “The Dangers of Deception” (Micah 3:11; Matt 7:22-23). The Bible not only teaches about assurance, it teaches about false assurance. This kind of deception carries with it the greatest of dangers and the severest of warnings.

10:30 am – 11:30 am: Session 3: “The Work of the Spirit” (2 Peter 1:3-10; John 5:13; Rom 8:16-17). Assurance comes through the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers — both in HIs direct communion with us and His work in conforming us more into the pattern of Jesus Christ.

1:00 pm – 2:00 pm: Session 4: “The Proclamation of Christ” (Acts 20:32; 2 Tim 3:15-17). Christ assures His people through the proclamation of the Word of God and the sacraments which He has ordained for the church.

2:15 pm – 3:15 pm: Q&A Session
