Speaker: Sam Haddon – Realigned to Freedom – The Book of Galatians Week 2: Aligning to the Gospel Is the Gospel about doing whatever we want, knowing you are forgiven, or is Christianity about strictly obeying the laws of God?

Why is it so important then, to not only think out, but live out the implications of the Gospel in our lives?

Speaker: Graham Agnew – Consistency Week 3: Dealing with Temptation It’s an are of struggle for most Christian, in one way or another.

Speaker: Graham Agnew – Kingdom of Heaven 2011 Week 4: Like Investing In A Precious Pearl It makes sense to invest a precious commodity and go to extraordinary lengths to make that investment possible.

Speaker: Sam Haddon – The WHY Behind Church Week 4: For Christians Only? The church should not only be ATTRACTIVE to the World around it, but ATTRACTED to the world around it. What will it mean for you to be a part of a community that thinks globally and loves locally? Reading: Matthew 5:13-16
