The combination of a wonderful Thank Offering along with the generous support of churches throughout the year to Worldwide Outreach has resulted in each program committee receiving over 100% of its requested budget for 2011. Thank you so much not only for your gifts in support of the work of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, but also for your prayers on our behalf and your joint service to the Lord and his church. Truly how good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity!

This networking opportunity can pay significant dividends when a man is seeking internship, church planting, and pastoral ministry positions. The seminar allows men new to the OPC and men long familiar with her to get better acquainted with the church's values.

Why the God-man? When we look at the biblical answer to that question, we see that the purpose behind the incarnation of Christ is to fulfill His work as GodPcs appointed Mediator. It is said in 1 Timothy 2:5: "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself P¦." Now, the Bible speaks of many mediators with a small or lower case "m." A mediator is an agent who stands between two parties who are estranged and in need of reconciliation. But when Paul writes to Timothy of a solitary Mediator, a single Mediator, with a capital "M," hePcs referring to that Mediator who is the supreme Intercessor between God and fallen humanity. This Mediator, Jesus Christ, is indeed the God-man. Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:00:00 EST http://opc.org/feature.html?feature_id=140
