The sixth annual Theology Conference will be held October 11–13, 2019 at Hope Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Grayslake, Illinois. Our conference theme is taken from Romans 7:14: “The Law Is Spiritual.” We will explore the biblical understanding of “law” and “Spirit” as redemptive-historical ages, focusing on key passages such as 2 Corinthians 3, Galatians 3–4, and Romans 7. In our time together, we will come to see the richness of God’s glorious plan revealed progressively to his people from creation to consummation.
