Resources on RTS Jackson

I’m spending the week with these veteran pastors discussing nuts and bolts issues of Christian ministry. Our topics in the Doctor of Ministry class include the theology and practice of pastoral care, preaching, Presbyterian church government, and worship. Standing next to me (l-r): Clint Covington, Blackjack Baptist Church, Troup, TX; Eric Zellner, First PCA, Indianola, MS; Jim Gorski, Three Rivers PCA, Covington, LA; Steven Wright, Bethel PCA, Lake Charles PCA. Seated (l-r): Richard Cooper, Ponte Vedra PCA, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL; Hunter Brewer, The Mid-South PCA Church Planting Network; Don Sampson, Crossroads PCA, Dumfries, VA

One of the strengths of Reformed Theological Seminary (Jackson)is the pastoral experience of its faculty. Yesterday I was delighted to have Dr. Michael McKelvey, professor of Old Testament, share with my homiletics class his very practical approach to the preparation and delivery of sermons.

The Dean of Students Office is decorated and ready for Christmas.

  Lynne and I hosted last night’s dinner for the RTS Jackson Summer Institute for Biblical Languages (SIBL). We had the privilege of sharing a meal with students and their families before intensive studies in Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, and Latin begin. SIBL provides thorough, intensive introductions to the biblical languages and Latin during an eight week course of study. (Photos courtesy of Adam Parker.)
