Why Is Suffering Part of Pastoral Ministry | Philip Ryken

Описание: Lecture Title - The Suffering and the Glory: Pastoral Ministry in Union with Christ

What is the meaning and purpose of suffering in the work of pastoral ministry? What hope do we have that preaching the gospel will make a lasting difference for Christ? In this lecture, Dr. Philip Ryken contends that the rich biblical doctrine of union with Christ provides a complete theological and practical context for understanding both tragedy and triumph in the ordinary work of the pastor. Through his thirteen years of preaching ministry at Philadelphia's historic Tenth Presbyterian Church, Dr. Ryken has experienced, as it were, both the cross and the empty tomb.

Philip G. Ryken (DPhil University of Oxford) is President of Wheaton College. He has published more than 30 books, including The Message of Salvation: The Lord Our Help (InterVarsity, 2001), Art for God’s Sake: A Call to Recover the Arts (P&R, 2006), Loving the Way Jesus Loves (Crossway, 2011), and expository commentaries on Exodus, Jeremiah, Luke, and other books of the Bible.

The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
