Festival of Faith
April 27, 2015-May 2, 2015
Speaking: Dr Tim Gillespie.
Tim is lead minister of the CrossWalk Church, a Seventh-day Adventist congregation in Redlands, California, USA, and associate professor in the School of Public Health at Loma Linda University.
Theme: Intersections.
Monday, 11 am and 6.15 pm: Faith and Life
Text: Matthew 27:51
Message: Life and spiritual life are not separate things but the same thing
The Matthew text speaks of the curtain in the temple tearing and that is a metaphor for the integration of faith and life. These things are no longer separate. Our lives are lives of faith.
Tuesday, 11 am and 6.15 pm: Grace and Hope
Text: Romans 5:1-11
What is grace and how has our salvation been secured by what Jesus did on the cross?
Wednesday, 11 am and 6.15 pm: Knowledge and Humility
Text: Hebrews 11 and Hebrews 12
Does knowledge bring us to arrogance or humility?
Thursday, 11 am and 6.15 pm: Doctrine and Praxis
Texts: John 21:15-18; Matthew 16:13-20
How does knowledge about doctrines lead us to action rather than inaction?
Friday, 11 am and 7.30 pm: Mission and Calling
Text: Luke 4
Is your mission the same as Christ’s? And what is His?
Saturday, 11 am: Worship and Mission
Texts: Genesis 12:3; Isaiah 6:8
Worship and mission exist for one another, not alone. How is the Christian church creating a worship environment that is hurling people out into the world to serve Christ and others?
