The Spirit of Truth: Takeaways from the Evangelium 21 Conference in Hamburg

4. September, 2025 | Evangelium21, TGC

The Gospel Coalition berichtet über die E21-Konferenz zum Thema „Heiliger Geist, die im Mai 2025 in Hamburg stattgefunden hat:

Since the summer of 2011, Evangelium 21 („Gospel 21”) has promoted biblically rooted church ministry in German-speaking Europe. At this summer’s meeting in Hamburg, two things stood out.

The first distinct feature was the theme: „The Spirit of Truth” (John 14:17). For a ministry committed to spiritual and church renewal in post-Christian Europe, challenges and discouragements abound.

The theme could have been a problem—our leaders and speakers hold different views on the continuation of the Spirit’s gifts. Yet, rather than avoid the topic, the conference provided a godly model of uniting on biblical essentials while dialoguing with humility and charity on the areas of disagreement. And a deeper study on the Holy Spirit’s person and work offered great hope for persevering in gospel ministry, reminding us that the power for spiritual revitalization lies with our sovereign God.

The second distinction: This was the first main conference that didn’t include a well-known guest speaker from the United States or the United Kingdom. Nonetheless, 1,100 attendees packed the room and another 2,000 joined on the live stream. I think it was one of the best E21 conferences yet. It’s certainly great to benefit from the gospel ministries of renowned preachers and authors. But the depth and clarity of the talks from ministers throughout German-speaking lands displayed encouraging fruits of God’s work over recent years to multiply laborers for the gospel harvest in Europe.

Christus im Zentrum, in Deutschland

17. Juni, 2018 | Evangelium21, TGC

Die Gospel Coalition hat einen Beitrag über die E21-Konferenz 2018 in Hamburg veröffentlicht:

TGC president Don Carson and TGC Council member Bryan Chapell joined Evangelium 21 (E21) from May 24 to 26 for its eighth main conference in Hamburg, Germany. About 800 attendees came to praise, pray, and fellowship with likeminded believers from all over German-speaking Europe, and to learn more about the conference theme: Christus im Mittelpunkt (Christ in the Center).

The plenary sessions from Carson and Chapell addressed how preaching Christ and his grace in all of Scripture should affect our churches and Christian lives. For the other sessions, E21 leaders Christian Wegert, Kai Soltau, Matthias Lohmann, and Martin Reakes-Williams exposited Mark 8:22–9:13 to unfold what it means to know Christ, live for Christ, follow Christ, and hear Christ. There were also several fantastic seminars on offer this year on themes like “Christ-Centered Family,” “Blogging for the Gospel,” and “Vocation as Calling? Following Christ in the Workplace.”

E21 und T4G feiern das 500-jährige Reformationsjubiläum

18. Mai, 2017 | Evangelium21, T4G, TGC

The Gospel Coaltion (TGC) hat einen Beitrag über die Evangelium21 Konferenz 2017 in Hamburg veröffentlicht. Darin heißt es unter anderem:

In his second talk, Mohler exhorted evangelicals to devote more time, energy, and seriousness to preserving and nourishing their beliefs. Drawing from the recent history of the conservative turnaround in his own denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, Mohler offered 10 timeless lessons of doctrinal and spiritual renewal. Biblically faithful churches can so easily and quickly waver from their foundations if sound doctrine and practice isn’t nurtured, he warned. This was what had happened to many Southern Baptist churches in the mid-20th century, and it almost split the denomination. As liberal theology gained a foothold in the SBC’s theological seminaries, some of the denomination’s most influential church leaders began questioning the authority of the Bible. By God’s grace, however, courageous men and women successfully labored to recover the denomination’s doctrinal foundations, giving rise to one of the greatest spiritual renewals in recent history.
