We start our morning session every day (except Sunday and Wednesday) with a Bible Study at 10am, this will be on the theme of the conference ‘People of the Kingdom’ After the Bible Study we split into a selection of seminar sessions which cover a variety of topics and themes. Our seminars are dynamic and informative and all of them contain an opportunity for questions and answers. Seminars don’t run on Wednesday as we have a missionary focus so our morning session is given over to hearing a variety of mission reports and testimonies about how the Lord is working in different situations.
See below for the titles and description of the seminars we are running this year.
Endeavouring to keep the unity of The Spirit in the bond of peace. Paul puts an emphasis on keeping and maintaining unity. So, what happens when we find ourselves in disagreement on matters that relate to the Christian life, on matters of doctrine, on politics and government? This seminar will look at the practical outworking amongst God’s people.
Paul instructs that we are to speak the truth in love to one another, putting away lying for we are members of one body. This seminar will consider the importance of these instructions from Paul and how we speak and communicate to each other particularly within the church and Christian community.
Every part of the body does its share. Paul writes that Christ gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists and so on. This seminar will deal with the equipping of God’s people for the work He gives them to do, for the building up of the body of Christ. How does this come about? This seminar will consider how this is achieved in the body of Christ? How it’s encouraged? How do we find our gifting? Is there really something for us all to do?
Put on the whole armour of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We live out our Christian lives in a spiritual battle and because of this, Paul says we are to take up the whole armour of God. This seminar will deal with the realities of the warfare we are involved in and how we contend not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers.
We are to forgive, even as God in Christ forgave us. Why is forgiveness so key to the Christian life? This seminar will explore forgiveness and look at how we see this worked out amongst us. What are the barriers and how do we overcome these, ensuring we remain right with one another. What are the implications of unforgiveness?
A theme of Ephesians is walking and one aspect of walking is “walking in love.” We are to be imitators of God as dear children, and walk in love as Christ also loved us. This seminar will consider the outworking of our life & witness for God.
The context of Ephesians is masters and slaves, and Paul gives instructions to both of these categories. Can these principles be carried across to the workplace in our day and society? This seminar will look at what it means for Christians in the workplace in terms of conduct and outworking of our faith in this context.
Paul instructs us to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called. As Christians we sometimes experience feelings of anger and injustice. So how should we conduct ourselves in areas where we see or sense injustice? We can have strong feelings and emotions. We are aware that one of the gifts of The Spirit is the gift of self-control. How can this be worked out righteously in these situations?
