Choose Cooperation! – Reflection on being SBC on the local/state level

October 3, 2018 by Todd Benkert

As we enter the Fall season, now is the time for Association and State Conventions to hold their annual meetings.

Giving as Witness

July 6, 2018 by Todd Benkert

We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia (2 Cor 8:1) In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul describes the Macedonian’s giving as an act of God’s grace. Their giving was a living witness to the grace of God in their lives. Giving is a natural […]

You CAN come to #SBC18 even when money is tight

June 3, 2018 by Todd Benkert

My first SBC annual meeting was in Atlanta in 1999. I was a young church planter and like many young ministers, we had very little money.
