A healthy church is a church marked by sound doctrine. As Paul instructs Titus, a pastor must “hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it” (Titus 1:9).

Yesterday’s challenges to sound doctrine may seem obvious to us today. But that doesn’t mean today’s challenges are as transparent as we may think.

The second 9Marks at Southeastern conference will consider why biblical theology is essential for the church, where it’s unexpectedly challenged, and how pastors can lead churches to exhibit the faithfulness Paul requires of Timothy.

Speakers include Daniel Akin, Thabiti Anyabwile, Matt Chandler, Mark Dever and David Platt. Student cost is $35.
