For the past couple of years, Grace Community Church in Southern CA has hosted a conference called “Resolved.” This conference, primarily seeking to attract college-age believers, takes its title from Jonathan Edwards’ “Resolutions,” which he wrote as a young man (at age 19-20). These amazing resolutions give us great insight into the degree of serious commitment Edwards had toward God. For example, Resolution 7: “Resolved, never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life.” Or #6: “Resolved, when I feel pain, to think of the pains of martyrdom, and of hell.”

Much like Edwards’ resolutions, the conference seeks to challenge believers at an early age to live fully committed to the glory of God in all things. This year’s conference featured a set of wonderfully gifted expositional preachers, and managed to sell out with over 3000 attendees! What an amazing thing that so many young people packed the house to hear God’s Word taught with passion!

We ourselves were not able to attend, but thankfully, they’ve made the audio for free download! Having listened to a couple of the messages, I can testify that they are very strong and faithful exhortations of the gospel and its application in the life of committed believers. I’d encourage you to make some time to fill your soul with God-centered Christ-exalting life-challenging preaching. Here are direct links to the MP3 downloads:
