Leadership Network is hasting a free church conference online called The Nines that starts at 09/09/09 at 9:09am (CST). There are almost 50 speakers, and each gives a nine minute talk on their best leadership advice and “is designed for all church staff members who want to be motivated and stretched in their leadership”.
Whilst it is free you do need to pre-register before you can watch/listen to the conference.
Here are some of the speakers:
With fathers day having been and gone Mars Hill are now providing a free book specifically aimed at fathers. I’ve not had a chance to read it all but my brief skimming suggests this would be a rewarding read for any father (or potential father!).
The chapter titles give a good summary of the topics covered:

Here are 40 great sermons from a variety of preachers covering different aspects of Easter. I’m certain if you listened or read these over the forty days of Easter you would benefit a lot more than by abstaining from chocolate or coffee.

Whilst many of us will be unable to get to church on Christmas Day either because our church doesn’t have a service, or because we’re busy in the kitchen preparing a feast, this doesn’t mean we don’t get to hear a great Christmas sermon!
Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill is currently running through a series of sermons on the Song of Songs book from the bible.My wife Liy and I currently listening to each sermon and discussing it and the questions that are raised. It is exciting to have a series of talks that focus on this area and I know we have already greatly benefited as a family from listening to it.
You can listen to the sermons by signing up to the free podcast, or simply listening or downloading them online.
The Resurgence Library has recently provided the chapters from some of Mark Driscoll’s books for free in pdf format. If you’ve not read any of Mark Driscoll’s books then this is the perfect opportunity to read some of his inspiring words
You can look through the books listed below or go to the relit site to see more information on the books.
Simply go the links below to view the pdfs:
The audio mp3s for the 2008 Desiring God conference are now available. In fact, there are also text and video versions available free too if you prefer those formats.
There are some great talks available from anointed preachers including Mark Driscoll and John Piper.
The 2008 Desiring Conference is based on the power and importance of the words we used, coupled with the wonder of God (as you cold no doubt tell from the image on this post!).

Dave Bish at The Blue Fish recently recommended a free pdf that Mark Driscoll had made available on his study of Genesis. I’ve not read all of the book but based on everything I’ve read or heard of Mark Driscoll it will be theologically strong and personally challenging. Some people dislike Mark’s style as he can sometimes go further than most with his language, which makes another post by Dave Bish about the upcoming Desiring God conference interesting too. Mark Driscoll has been asked to talk about harsh and cutting language and whether it is biblical. The two YouTube clips below show both his and John Piper’s (who invited Mark to speak) views. If you are put off by Mark’s sometimes strong language listen to the John Piper clip.
The book on Genesis is very well produced and you can print it off at home. You can also listen to the sermons that were preached at Mars Hill alongside the book at the Mars Hill Church website.
Below is a fantastic clip from a sermon Mark Driscoll did, critiquing the prosperity gospel (or “name it and claim it”) that is often preached. Specifically he shows a clip from Joel Osteen and explains where Joel has got it wrong. It is done in a strong, but fair and non-aggressive way.
Perhaps most importantly it is inspiring for those of us in pain, whether spiritual, physical or mental. To remind ourselves of what Jesus went through during His ministry can help us not be so self absorbed. God wants us to come to him when we are suffering and get respite from Him.
