Rethinking the gospel

Rethinking the gospel

I have enjoyed reading recently Tom Wright’s book ‘Surprised by Hope’. The second section of this book is an excellent discussion on the mission of the church in the light of the centrality of the resurrection.

In it Wright encourages us to rethink some of our basic truths like salvation and the Kingdom. Based on some of these thoughts and my own pursuit of the Kingdom message here is a message on the Mission of the Church.

You can listen to this message and also have a copy of the notes (brief as they are)

Listen to the message

Vishal Mangalwadi

Must the Sun Set on the West on a USB stick

Last month Vishal Mangalwadi was in Australia and many people got to hear him at a range of venues around the country. His message was well received by politicians, the media,Christian leaders and churches.

To continue to promote Vishal’s message we are making available 11 sessions from his series “Must the Sun set on the West?” These 11 hours of teaching are available in MP3 format saved on a 4 GB USB stick. The cost of each USB stick is $20 + $1 postage.

Business as Mission (BAM) Feb 2012

Following the success of our first BAM intensive in July we are holding our second course in February 23-29.

In this course people will have the opportunity to:

  • Gain a Kingdom perspective on Business
  • Learn from stories and input of successful business leaders
  • Receive input on key business skills – leadership in the workplace, marketing, relationships, sales, finances and project management
  • Mix with others who have a similar passion for business
We are also working on a Cert IV Frontline Management course which will be available for BAM students.

Here are some comments from those who came to our first course.

  • Business isn’t easy but God is faithful and sovereign
  • God gives us passion and gifts for a reason
  • Same God lives in me as in other great individuals
  • Focus – do your purpose – give up distractions
  • Business is more than a means to success or provision
  • Excellence in business is not only a good idea but a requirement from God
Here are links to some businesses that either have started since the BAM course or were encouraged in their development.
