Theology Event: Exploring Philippians and Colossians – Doonside
The Apostle Paul wrote a series of delightful letters from prison but, unfortunately, the shorter letters often get swamped in the wake of the letter to the Ephesians. Philippians and Colossians are magnificent explorations of who Christ Jesus is and what it means to be ‘in Him’ as a disciple and a witness to His work of salvation and sanctification. Join us as we consider what God the Father has done and is doing through His Son by the power of His Spirit.
Lecturer: Russ Bryant

Reclaiming Marriage: Risky Renegade Reformers – Croydon
Marriage of church leaders is commonplace today, but for the Reformers it was a renegade decision. They reclaimed marriage after centuries of enforced clerical celibacy. Those who chose to marry faced risk and ridicule; even Martin Luther’s best friend held deep concerns about the wisdom of Luther marrying, and did not attend the wedding. Rachel Ciano, a church history lecturer at SMBC, will explore why the Reformers were reclaiming much more than marriage itself.

Sharing Truth In A Post-Truth World – Croydon
Increasingly, Australia is a culture where the important truths in people’s lives are recognised by what we prefer or feel rather than by how things objectively are. Christians however, follow a Lord who declares he is the Truth & who speaks powerfully inconvenient truths to us that radically challenge our preferences. Richard Shumack, visiting missions & critical thinking lecturer at SMBC, helps us negotiate these shifting cultural sands so we can speak Jesus’ truth with wisdom & confidence.
$10 (if booked & paid for before 2pm on the day), or $15 at door.

Meteorology and Theology: Climate Change and the Bible – Croydon
Global warming is a hot topic. Scientific consensus for climate change is strong but skepticism and denial persist, including among Christians. What, if anything, does the Bible say about these things? How should we understand stewardship of the earth (in Genesis) in light of Revelation’s vision of the new heavens and new earth?
Prof Roger Lewis, a physicist at the University of Wollongong and Chair of the Australian College of Theology, will examine the scientific and biblical data.
$10 (if booked and paid for before 2pm on the day), or $15 at door.
