The 2018 Spiritual Leadership Conference begins this Sunday. I’m praying for the Lord to bless and use every moment of this conference for His glory and for the encouragement of His servants.

Our conference theme is one word, taken from Isaiah 57:15—Revive.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

If there has ever been a time when we need revival, it is now.

Indeed, I know of no greater need for our world, nation, the church I pastor, or my own life than the reviving work of God. I’m asking God to stir revival fires in each of our hearts this coming week and to spread those through the local churches where we serve.

I wanted to let you know of two conference resources that I hope are a help to you whether or not you are able to be with us here in Lancaster, California, for the conference.

Conference App

The Spiritual Leadership Conference app (available on both iOS and Android) provides helpful, updated information on session times and titles, nursery locations, and a campus map.

The app also provides downloads of past services and (for iOS users) direct access to the live stream.

Conference Live Stream

Throughout the conference, you can access the live stream at lbclive.tv. All of the preaching services and general sessions will be streamed. Below is a schedule for what will be live streamed the next few days. All times are given in Pacific Daylight Time. A full conference schedule is available at slconference.com.
