Autumn School 2018

A series of separate training tracks designed to help equip is in knowing and applying the Bible, delivered over four Tuesdays starting on 11th September 2018. 

Audio and outlines now available each week after the sessions.

Track 1: Four Buzz words of our age – Jon Hobbs

Identity… Equality… Freedom… Love

These words, often in use today, hide so many assumptions about who we are and how we should be. In these sessions we will consider what our culture means by these words and see how the Bible’s explanation of these things is so much wiser and better. Our hope is that this will not only enable us to engage the ideas of those around us but also explain how the gospel really is what we are all crying out for.

Track 2: You Should Love your Body – Graham Nicholls

What is the thinking behind wanting to kill the unborn and the unable? How can we justify using our bodies in a different way than they were evidently designed and intended? It’s all to do with the elevating the self as the ultimate God. Based on Nancy Piercey’s Book Love Thy Body we will look at how this separation of body and spirit plays out in the moral choices we are making. We will look at:

1. The autonomous self
