The Light, the Camera, ACTION! How Can Art Be Bigger Than Ourselves?

19 May 2025 | Joshua Masters

Using the collaborative art of filmmaking as an illustration, this talk leads us in exploring how to embrace our purpose as artists, collaborating in God’s greater masterpiece. As the Director of a story being performed over all eternity, God guides us in our art, calling us to work in community to fulfil His will. And as we follow the direction of the Light, avoid the cameras of the world, and take actions to fulfil the Director's vision, we participate in the creation of His great chronicle of grace and hope.

Apologetics in the Age of the Ego Pagan

18 May 2025 | Andrew Fellows

We live in the anthropocentric age which means that underneath every worldview commitment is a deeper obligation to the self. In this talk we look at how divine attributes have been downloaded to the modern self and the implications for all our apologetics.

Transformational Knowing of Self and God

18 May 2025 | Jelena Sivulka

The search for identity and purpose is indeed unique to humanity—a quest woven into the fabric of our existence. As John Calvin insightfully noted, 'Nearly all the wisdom which we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves'. This statement suggests that a true understanding of our own identity cannot be separated from a deeper relationship with God. The more we know Him, the more we come to know ourselves, for we are created in His image.

The Gospel and the Rest of the New Testament

21 May 2025 | Dirk Jongkind

Why does so much teaching on the letters of Paul fail to convince or inspire? One of the reasons is that many fail to read the letters against the background of the preaching of the Gospel as we find it written down in the four Gospels. In this talk, we analyse the problem and demonstrate how central the Jesus of the Gospels is to a proper understanding of Paul.

Debunking Defeater Arguments

20 May 2025 | Mihail Stefanov

Christian scientists need to be equipped to navigate a highly atheistic and intellectually rigorous environment by addressing common objections to their faith. By integrating apologetics with critical thinking, we can learn how to effectively dismantle defeater arguments that challenge Christian beliefs. This talk provides tools to confidently and thoughtfully defend the faith, enabling believers to engage with their sceptical peers while remaining rooted in both Scripture and sound reasoning.

Ancient Paths in a Modern World: Rediscovering Spiritual Formation

18 May 2025 | Stef Liston

'Thus says the LORD: "Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'"' (Jeremiah 6:16, ESV) In the fast-paced and often chaotic environment of everyday ministry, maintaining a deep spiritual life is crucial for sustainable leadership. This talk explores how often neglected ancient spiritual practices—such as prayer, fasting, giving, and Sabbath rest—can provide a foundation for modern-day pioneering and planting.

Why Should I Care about the Council of Nicaea

19 May 2025 | Leonardo De Chirico

The Council of Nicaea happened in 325 A.D. and was the first gathering of Christian leaders from across the known world to settle major theological disputes. In this case, the dispute centred around the deity of Jesus Christ. This year marks the 1700th anniversary of Nicaea. Why is it important for the church in the 21st century to remember this historic event? What impact does the Council of Nicaea have on our lives and ministries for today?

Achsah’s Ask (Judges 1)

18 May 2025 | Peter J. Williams

The story of Achsah is one of the Bible’s most ignored stories, even though it occurs twice in the Bible. It is an inspiring story, which should encourage us to have bold faith and to ask God for great things.
