Gospel-Shaped Communication

22 May 2023 | Stefan Gustavsson

What does it mean to love God and to love people as we engage and work in an increasingly hostile world? We have to be sure about what we communicate (content) and also the manner in which we present truth. In our social media world, this last issue is an important one for all leaders. We want our communication to be truthful, clear, and gracious. How do we hold these apparently opposing tensions together?

Why I Am Not Roman Catholic: Christ Alone, No Other Mediator Is Needed

17 Feb 2024 | Leonardo De Chirico

While having a high view of Jesus Christ, Roman Catholicism tells us that the saints and Mary are 'nearer' to us than Jesus to help, comfort, and guide. The Bible teaches that there is only one Mediator between God and us. Jesus Christ is the God-man who atoned for sin, died, rose from the dead, and is coming again.

Why I Am Not Roman Catholic: I Am a Hopeless Sinner, Not Just a Wounded Person

17 Feb 2024 | Leonardo De Chirico

“I am Italian, but I am not Roman Catholic.” This statement often surprises people who think being Italian is associated with being Roman Catholic.

There might be people who, in majority Roman Catholic contexts, ask the same question to evangelicals: “Why aren’t you Roman Catholic?” What would you say in response?

Successful church revitalisations are dependent upon the existing church leaders recognising the urgency of the need for change before the church does, and the formation of a suitably gifted team to envision and implement change. This talk considers how church revitalisers, denominations and networks can persuade churches to accept the need for revitalisation without alienating those who have served in the church for many years.

The storms of life come to all people everywhere.

Confidence in Christ: Proclaiming the Unique Jesus in Century 21

24 May 2023 | Paul Coulter

Where better to focus than on the unique person of Jesus Christ? In this talk, we consider who He is and how His claims challenge other religions and worldviews. We conclude with a call to keep Him at the centre as we look towards our next steps in apologetics.

Where Do We Begin? Finding Inspiration in Our Creative Calling

22 May 2023 | Heather Holdsworth

For any work of art to be called ‘inspired’ is high praise, yet inspiration can be elusive. What is it that ignites our creativity? Is a breathtaking view essential to start a great painting or is emotional trauma crucial for composing epic music? Do we need to wait for our lives to crumble for genius to spark?
