About this event

We live in a day with so much uncertainty and change. There are growing global tensions, unimaginable cultural confusion, and living in such a dark and fallen world can lead to discouragement and despair. Taken together, it seems we are living in a perfect storm where we have many questions about ourselves and about God.

Dr. James Dolezal will take us through the Book of Job, where this servant of God was similarly challenged and had questions much like us today. Over three sessions, Dr. Doelzal will remind us that God graciously reveals Himself to those who seek Him. We will consider God's existence and attributes as revealed in the midst of the storm.

Join us to hear Dr. Conrad Mbewe as he preaches over 3 sessions on the theme: The Power of the Gospel.

With borders open and international travel resuming, we are thankful for the opportunity to finally host Dr. Conrad Mbewe at Stanmore Baptist Church to speak on the theme of The Power of the Gospel.

As a seasoned pastor with 35 years ministry experience, Dr. Mbewe is familiar with the opposition, disappointments and challenges God's people face as they sojourn through this life. In such seasons, where are we to turn for encouragement, direction, strength and hope?

Dr. Mbewe Conrad will remind us to consider again the gracious, sovereign and powerful work of God, in redeeming rebellious sinners and reconciling a people to Himself. This foundational truth will encourage us in our worship, equip us for service and assist us to live for God's glory and our neighbour's good.

“How deserted lies the city, once so full of people … bitterly she weeps at night”. 

In 2021, we began a new series in the Old Testament, starting with the enchanting story of Ruth and Naomi. In 2022, we move to the often forgotten book of “Lamentations”.

Written as 5 “laments” in raw, heart-wrenching poetry, we walk the streets of war-torn Jerusalem after the Exile.  A deeply reflective book, it enables a deep understanding of ourselves, God and the future.

Join us on Saturday 18 June 2022 at Gosford Presbyterian Church to hear God’s Word to us in the book of Lamentations. Come join us for a wonderful day together being encouraged and challenged by the Word of God.

This is also an opportunity to recharge away from daily life, catch up with friends (or make new ones!), and enjoy lunch together.

Adults tickets are $25 each, and teens can attend for only $7! Reserve your seat today.

Schedule

10am - 12pm
Session 1: The City of Tears (Lamentations 1-4)

12pm - 1pm
Break for Lunch

1pm - 3pm
Session 2: The City without Tears (Lamentations 5)

*Please note that women and teens watch the same conference stream.

How do we understand the Bible’s teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

The scriptures call us to be “filled with the Holy Spirit.” What does this mean? And what about speaking in tongues, and prophecy? Does God still heal today, and should we expect Him to?

Come along to hear David D’Amour (Grace Bible Church) unpack the Bible’s teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This will be a fantastic chance to ask questions and start a conversation with the Bible open together.

Cost / Free!
