Empower Evangelism Conf. to proclaim Lordship of Jesus, Feb. 28-March 2 in Frisco

For this reason God also highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow?of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth?and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ?Philippians 2:9-11

FRISCO?”Jesus Christ is Lord!” taken from Philippians 2:9-11, is the theme of the 2011 Empower Evangelism Conference, scheduled Feb. 28-March 2 at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco.

The annual conference will feature a wide array of speakers, including pastors Jack Graham, Kie Bowman and Johnny Hunt, best-selling author and apologist Lee Strobel, and “Total Church Life” author Darrell Robinson. Musical guests include Babbie Mason, Charles Billingsley, and Jason Crabb, as well as choirs and orchestras from Hyde Park Baptist Church in Austin and Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano.

“The Empower Evangelism Conference is designed to inspire and motivate followers of Jesus to be more zealous about the Great Commission and the Great Commandment of our Lord,” said SBTC Evangelism Director Don Cass. “You will be blessed by great music, dynamic testimonies, and great preaching that will lead us to refocus on the Lordship of our Savior.”

The Women’s Session will begin at 1:30 on Monday afternoon, Feb. 28 at the Frisco Convention Center (in the Embassy Suites Hotel across from the Dr. Pepper Arena) and will include speakers Dorothy Patterson, Angela Thomas and Pam Tebow, as well as music from Babbie Mason.
