An all-new event for November 2019, exploring the character and personality of the man that turned the world upside-down.
|
Event Overview
To believe in the teachings of Jesus, yet not accept His claim to be God, is to dodge the most important question of our lives. Either Jesus is the Lord of creation that became human and walked amongst us, or he was a wicked liar or a crazy person. We must make a choice. His words demand that we make a choice. Not to do so is to "condemn ourselves to live in the shallow world in between" (N.T. Wright).
During this event we will be looking closely at the character of the man behind the parables. We will be looking beyond the stain glass window portraits and nativity stories that so often fill our imaginations. We will be seeking to see Him As He Is. A man of such breathtaking personality that those closest to Him, men and women that lived and journeyed with Him, truly believed that He is Lord of the universe.
"When we see Jesus AS HE IS, we should turn away or else shamelessly adore Him". Dallas Willard.

What to ExpectThis is a conference for men, set in glorious countryside and designed to help men unearth more of who Jesus is and what that can mean for their lives.
The weekend will include a number of teaching sessions from the A&D team who speak with honesty and vulnerability. Time for reflection and prayer will be offered after most sessions. There will also be the opportunity to worship and enjoy some free time walking, relaxing or playing football, pool, table tennis etc. Evenings can be spent around a bonfire, watching a movie or socialising indoors with like-hearted men. |
What not to ExpectThis is not an "outward-bounds" weekend. No physical exercise is required although free time is available for men to exercise if they wish.
