Loving Christ by Praying for His Sheep
Nothing is more foundational to the health of our own Christian life than prayer. Unfortunately, it is one of the most neglected Christian disciplines in the church today. But the New Testament is clear: if we are not personally devoted to prayer, it is sin (Rom. 12:12; Col. 4:2). The key question that arises is: How can we grow in our understanding and practice of this discipline? That’s why this year’s conference theme is Loving Christ by Praying for His Sheep.
During our time together, we will examine what Scripture teaches about prayer and why it is absolutely necessary for it to permeate our own lives, our families’ lives, and the local churches in which we serve.
Join us on June 27–28, 2025, at Countryside Bible Church in Southlake, Texas, for this important event. Keynote speakers include Tom Pennington, Jonathan Anderson, and Dusty Burris. There is no cost for the conference, but registration is required. Your registration includes dinner on Friday, breakfast and lunch on Saturday, and a gift of helpful resources.
If you have questions, call (817) 488-5381 or email Lance Burroughs at Lance@countrysidebible.org.

From Rome to Reformation | Foreword by Joel Beeke
“Tom Pennington’s brief but lucid and engaging book is a reminder that the church of our Lord Jesus Christ must always contend for the faith once for all delivered by God to his church (Jude 3). The issues of ultimate authority, who rules the church, and how God justifies the ungodly, are truths that must be jealously guarded and heralded in every age. In these present times of doctrinal defection and evangelical compromise, Dr. Pennington’s ‘vade mecum’ (a ‘go with me’, a book you can slip into your pocket), is a timely reminder for Bible Christians to stand unashamedly and uncompromisingly on foundational biblical truths.” –Ian Hamilton
The Biblical View of Abortion: God’s Heart for Life in the Womb
“Abortion is the big E on the eye chart for ethical issues in our culture. Tom Pennington clearly explains what it is, why common arguments in favor of it fail, and how the Bible teaches that it is wrong. In short, abortion is wrong because it is wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human.” –Andy Naselli
Three Hallmarks of a Biblical Church Member
