Gospel-centred counselling / How People Change

Two practical seminars to help you and help others in your ministry develop a biblical understanding of how the gospel can transform us from within and affect our communication and relationships with each other.

The first day will focus on gospel-centred counselling, and is aimed primarily at pastors, elders and church leaders although anyone is welcome. We will think about how whether such a model is possible in the local church, how it influences other areas of church life, and how a church can facilitate such counselling.

The second day will reflect extensively on the question of how people change, and is for everyone. This is especially if we feel stagnant, or tired of the same old problems. This seminar will refocus us back on the gospel, and how the gospel enables us to meet everyday relational challenges such as family conflicts, exasperation with children, past hurts, loneliness and singleness, anger, co-dependency and so on.

These will be led by Timothy Lane, president of the Christian Counselling and Education Foundation in the United States, and Janet Nygren, who also works for CCEF.

You can register here (for one or both days). We look forward to seeing you!

Thinking Theologically Conference 2010 - The Word of God

At this year's TTC, we focus on the important evangelical doctrine of Scripture.

As Christians, all that we do in the end must turn on our understanding of this doctrine. Just what does it means when we commit to upholding the Bible’s authority? Can we explain it in the face of multiple other claims to authority that we ourselves acknowledge? Is Scripture unclear in any way? In what way is Scripture authoritative when authorities conflict with what the Bible says on an issue of controversy? Just how far does Scripture’s authority go?

From November 4-6, 2010, at Port Dickson. Click here to register!

Word Works - Isaiah

Word Works is 2 days designed to help Christians to learn to read the Bible better. We encourage you to make the effort to be equipped for reading the Bible faithfully, in order to minister to the saints and to the growth of God’s people (Eph 4:11-12).

Isaiah is sometimes called the “Fifth Gospel”. In this work of immense power and breathtaking scope, the God of Israel announces himself as the God of all the world, and reveals his great plans for Israel and the nations. The book of Isaiah deals with themes that are foundational to the gospel by which we are saved: sin, judgment, grace, faith, atonement, salvation, justification and hope. Isaiah contains the clearest indications in the Old Testament of the universal scope of God’s plans for the world. It focusses on a figure called the “servant”, whose sacrificial death will bring justification for many, and will lead to Spirit-empowered evangelists proclaiming the good news to the world.

Here's your chance to get a handle of what can be an intimidating book, as well as an opportunity to grasp more deeply the gospel of Jesus Christ. Lionel Windsor, who is currently working on his PhD at Durham University, will be speaking.
