Speaker: Graham Agnew – MOVE – Your Prayer Life Forward Week 1: ...From Monologue to Dialogue
We move our prayer life forward toward a more meaningful and satisfying level when we view it as a two way conversation between us and God. Moving from monologue to dialogue is simply a matter of pausing long enough to hear and respond to the voice of God.
Reading: 1 Samuel 3:1-10 (GNT)

Speaker: Sam Haddon – EXPATS Week 2: A New Model
Should I or Shouldn’t I? People of faith ask themselves that question hundreds of times in any given week. To what extent should we either engage, or withdraw from the culture around us?
Reading: Daniel 1:1-8 (NIV)

Speaker: Sam Haddon – EXPATS Week 1: Exiles & Foreigners
The nation of Australia looks very different today than it did 100 years ago. The great richness and diversity of many different cultures, now brings us many blessings, and yet at the same time, the corresponding rise in religious diversity begs the question, is it fair to call ourselves a Christian nation? In this new series, we’ll explore what it means to live a life of Christian faith in a multi-faith world.
Reading: Daniel 1:1-8 (NIV)

Guest Speaker// Mike Hardie: I am who I AM says I am
Mike Hardie is a follower of Jesus, husband to Terasa, father of Seriyah and pastor and church planter of THRIVE in Sydney’s southern beaches. Mike speaks at churches, conferences & colleges on leadership, ministry and church planting. He loves music, coffee, books and sport. He will be speaking on Identity, which effects everything. If you think you’re a loser you will act like a loser. If you see yourself the way God sees you based on what He has done for you and who he has called us to be (Matthew 5:14) then this will effect how you behave in every way. Ephesians 2:10 illustrates that who God says we are precedes what he wants / has planned for us to do. Implications: If you believe you are a wise person (or God calls you to be a wise person) you act increasingly wise but if you see yourself as a fool you’ll go in making foolish mistakes.

Speaker: Graham Agnew – He Week 4: He will return
Sadly, teaching on Christ’s Return has become less prominent over the years, mainly as a reaction to the excessive, almost fanatical emphasis placed on it by certain religious groups. However, the New Testament & Jesus Himself make it very clear that the promise of His Return is a reality & one we do well to heed. Far from being a source of threat or fear, His return is meant to be a source of great hope & encouragement for us all.
Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (GNT)

Speaker: Sam Haddon – He Week 3: He is the One
Jesus is unique among all the religious leaders of the world – not only because He rose again & lives today, but because He actually made the bold (some would say “outrageous”) claim that He is the only Son of God. In a world of tolerance & acceptance of all faiths & beliefs, that’s a difficult assertion to defend – but as Christians, this belief is at the core of our message..
