STIR 2010 - U Haven’t God Long
Mike Raiter – Principal of Bible College of Victoria.
What if...the world ends in 2 days? Things would look different: some things just aren’t important anymore. Other thigns are desperate. Are you ready? Do you know what matters? The end is not that very far away.
The Freedom Rules
Bruce Winter - Principal QTC
"... through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." Jesus was certainly passionate against the legalism of the Pharisees and would be equally against legalism in today's church. But to what extent does the Law still apply in our lives as Christians? Are we free to do what we want?
Am I Greedy?
Dave Bailey and John Phillpotts
Living in Australia in 2010 it is hard to ignore the reality that we enjoy a life of prosperity that many other people around the world would only dream of. How can we live in such a way that we are generous and honour God with our money, without distancing ourselves from the culture that we need to reach?
Is Vengeance Mine?
Chris Lindsay - QUT Christians
Living in a broken world at some stage we are going to experience the pain of being sinned against. We also will witness great injustice against poor and disenfranchised people groups. Is it wrong to feel angry and hurt? How does God want me to respond?
Hard Love
Joe Khan - City North Baptist
Many of us have felt the call to reach out to the local mission field God has placed us within! Many of us might even have heaps of unsaved friends! But while making contact with friends is easy, making converts of your friends is incredibly hard work. How can we more effectively lead our friends to Christ?
The Sex Elective
Tony Rowbotham - Griffith Christian Students
The church has generally tried to confront issues of sexuality like never before. However, statistics show that young Christians still battle with sexual sin. The world is becoming more and more sexualised, but do we as Christians have any idea about the real biblical significance of sex?
Jesus Loves Organised Religion
Murray Lean - City North Baptist
We all have friends who have drifted away from church saying, "I love Jesus but hate the Church". Should we look to change the church to meet the changing perceptions of our generation? What is the church anyway, and is it worth fighting for if even people who claim to love Jesus are deserting it or running it down?
