White Horse Inn is Taping in Front of a Live Audience

2010-02-10T06:15:48Z

Have you ever wanted to join the conversation? On Friday, February 12, 2010 White Horse Inn is taping in front of a live audience and you are invited.

Where/Sponsor – Calvary Chapel at Biola University sponsored by Associated Students of Religious & Academic Relations – 13800 Biola Ave. La Mirada, CA 90639 (562.903.6000)

Who - Mike Horton, Ken Jones, Kim Riddlebarger, Rod Rosenbladt and you.

What - Live taping and Q&A regarding the topic of "Contending for the Faith" – How did the apostles contend for the faith in the book of Acts? Did they appeal to the practical benefits of living life Jesus’ way? Did they share their testimonies or inner experiences? Did they encourage bland faith? On this special live edition of White Horse Inn, the hosts will walk through the apologetic sermons in the book of Acts in order to discover the proper way to both defend, and contend for the faith once delivered to the saints.

Registration - no registration required (free event)

As recently announced by the consistory of Christ United Reformed Church in Santee, California:

On Sunday, January 24, the members of Christ URC in Santee witnessed the ordination and installation of a Minister of Word and Sacrament, and a small piece of church history in the making. Andrea Ferrari, pastor of small Reformed congregation in Milan, Italy, was installed as a missionary-pastor in the URCNA with the specific calling of establishing a federation of Reformed churches modeled after the URCNA.

Here's a photo of the congregation of Filadelfia Reformed Church gathered for worship on the Lord's Day. For the full story, click here: New URCNA in Milan

Dr. Riddlebarger was privileged to participate in the ordination exam (colloquium doctum) of Rev. Ferrari, who will be a faithful shepherd to his flock!
