Jerry Bridges, long time Navigator staff and author of several books including "Trusting God", "Respectable Sins", "The Discipline of Grace", "Transforming Grace", and "The Pursuit of Holiness" (All NavPress), came to speak at our Cornell inter fellowship gathering. Many of the different Christian fellowships on campus came together to hear Jerry speak, worship, and fellowship together. We had quite a turn out, the auditorium, which had a capacity of 380, was almost completely filled.
Unfortunately, Jerry's flights were delayed, so that he was unable to make it for the actual speaking engagement on Friday night. But, we did get some wonderful time with Jerry Saturday. We had him field questions from the Cornell Navs students about how to live daily in the reality of the Gospel (One of Jerry's main areas/ideas of focus & writing). That was a wonderful time of Christ centered conversation, discussion, and teaching.
We also had the privilege of having Jerry speak Saturday afternoon with just our Cornell Navs staff team on the subject of spiritual transformation (the process of becoming more like Christ). It was an excellent time Biblical teaching.
Sunday morning Jerry also spoke at a local church on Palm Sunday from Isaiah 53. That was a real blessing as well.
Thank you all for partnering with us in the harvest fields here at Cornell! You are all truly ministering to our hearts as well.
