Grow Together: Reading the Bible one-to-one
Oli Blythe
You don't need to be an expert to help someone grow in their walk with God. Sometimes all you need is to sit down together to read the Bible, ask good questions and pray together. This workshop explores why one-to-one bible reading is such a powerful way to grow in your Christian walk as you do life together.
Thanking and Praising God: Let's do it!
Peter Adam
So much of our praying is asking. When we ask, we focus on what we want. When we thank and praise God, we focus on God, who he is, and what he has done. We move to a God-centred life and away from a self-centred life.
Doing
Application Well
Murray Capill
Often the hardest part of preparing and leading a Bible study is doing application well. We tend to be better at studying what the Bible says than at knowing what difference it should make in our lives. To help turn that around, this workshop looks at a whole range of tools for developing good application, so much application we won’t know how to fit it all in!
Workshops

Preaching 2 Corinthians: Looking Under the Hood
Eugene Hor
Eugene will share some of his reflections and insights on the process of working on his talks from 2 Corinthians 1-5, looking in particular moving from understanding the Biblical text to giving a sermon and preaching in away that engages the mind, moves the heart and applies it to the will.
Considering Gospel Ministry
Heath Easton
This workshop explores the what, why, and how of vocational gospel ministry. What does it mean to serve in gospel ministry and what opportunities are out there? Why should I even consider this as an option and why would anyone consider me for it? How can I know if I am suitable for it and, if I am, how do I choose which path I should take to get there?
Conversational Ministry of the Word
Karl Hood with Christina Finley and Johnson Wang
Some preach and teach publicly, but all of us are called to let the Word of Christ dwell richly as we teach and admonish one another with all wisdom. This workshop will introduce well-tested biblical models for understanding individual people and Scripture that relevantly connect both in conversational ministry of the Word, helping each one of us to wisely speak truth in love and bring grace to those who hear.
God's Heart for the World: To the ends of the earth
Wei-Han Kuan
Why does taking the gospel to the ends of the earth reflect God's heart for the world, and what can cause global mission to lose its priority in the life of the church? This workshop explores the biblical basis for global mission and what following God's heart for the world means for us, whether we are called to go or committed to sending gospel workers.
