71st Annual National Lectureship – Chicago Area Churches of Christ

The Chicago area churches of Christ will
host the 71st Annual National Lectureship
at the luxurious Hyatt Regency McCormick
Place Hotel during the dates of April 5-9,
2015. The newly renovated facility is located
near downtown Chicago on Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. Drive and connected to McCormick
Place, the largest convention center in North
America. Statistically speaking, Chicago is the
third largest city in the United States, following
New York City and Los Angeles. With nearly
three million residents, it is the most populous
city in the state of Illinois and the American
Midwest. 

The selected theme for the 71st Annual National Lectureship is “Celebrating the Covenant” with expositions taken from the Johannine Christology. The relationship God
has established with His redeemed people
is indeed a “Covenant” and not a “contract.”
This “Covenant” is both revolutionary and
evolutionary in that it emphasizes the deity of
Jesus Christ, it embraces the redemptive work
of Jesus Christ, and it empowers the believer in
Jesus Christ.
