In and Out of Season, Open Doors, Tim Hayward

While the Bible might be trending for us, persecution is rising around the world- for many, reading and teaching the Bible is becoming harder.

So what truths do we all need to cling onto in every season? How does context shape the way we read the Bible? And how can this give us the courage and confidence to keep teaching the Bible, whatever the future holds in our own context? Join Tim Hayward from Open Doors UK & Ireland as we unpack these questions!

The Bible is God’s Word- How Can I Really Engage with it? Join Nigel Watts from Precept Scotland…

In this seminar Nigel will be unpacking how we can really get to grips with God’s word, and how it can be brought to life!

The Transformed Church Transforms the Community! Explore this with Bee Roy from Tearfund Scotland…

Would your community look any different if the church wasn’t in it? 

This question cuts to the heart of who we’re called to be. Tearfund partners with thousands of churches across the world’s poorest communities – and they’re finding that when the church wakes up to its calling, everything changes.

This isn’t mission for a few. It’s the biblical invitation to all of us.

Join Tearfund Scotland to discover how churches gripped by extreme poverty are becoming the hands and feet of Jesus – seeing spiritual, physical and emotional transformation ripple through their communities. Last year alone, Tearfund reached over 2.9 million people globally through the church.

We often think about how we can support our global neighbours. But what if we stopped, listened, and let the global church challenge us?

Come ready to be provoked, inspired, and equipped. God is still doing signs and wonders – and the local church is still his plan.

Scrolling past global issues – why should I care? Join Catriona Mahato and James Petticrew from Mission Aviation Fellowship…

It’s easy to see suffering, need and injustice online and keep scrolling.

This interactive seminar invites Christians of all ages to reflect on what the Bible says about faith and compassion and to explore practical ways of turning faith from something we read into something we live out.

How to Read the Bible – Glenn Innes – Baptist Union of Scotland National Team

We love reading the Bible and discovering more about ourselves and God there.  Sometimes it’s useful to step back from the verses, chapters, and books and ask questions about exactly what we are reading.

In this seminar, we’ll spend some time thinking about some of those big-picture questions.  What is the story of the scriptures? Who wrote it? Why did they write it? When did they write it?

All so that we can then return to the books, the chapters and the verses with the confidence to read them well and encounter afresh the God who has given us these scriptures. 

Join Glenn at his seminar, as he explores these questions and topics!

What to do when relationships get a bit tense! Explore this with Sandra Cobbin from the Peaceful Transformation Team…

Has there been a misunderstanding? Is there someone you haven’t talked to for a while because you feel hurt by something they have done or said? Is there someone who seems to be treating you differently, but you’re not sure why? 

Difficult conversation can be just that, difficult! Drawing on Jesus’ teaching about what to do when there is tension in our relationships this seminar will equip us to look inward to our hearts and outward to others so that we can grow in skills and confidence to respond when relationships aren’t going smoothly.

If you have a difficult conversation you think you need to have or if you’re supporting someone who is trying to do this in their relationships, this seminar is for you.

INTERGENERATIONAL BIBLE SESSION

Join Jen Robertson, from the Scottish Bible Society, for these exciting inter-generational activity based sessions!

Faith isn’t something we grow in alone- we need each other. When we gather across generations, something special happens. We hear different stories, ask new questions, and see Jesus in fresh ways.

A four-year-old and an eighty-year-old may experience faith very differently- but both
have something vital to bring. Together, we enrich one another.

Come and experience a taster session of intergenerational Bible engagement. Expect a
relaxed, welcoming environment with creativity, conversation, and fun- perhaps even
outdoors if the weather allows!

Join us as we listen, learn, and discover together.
