Sometimes we forget that evangelism is not a human enterprise but a divine operation. In this message our guest speaker Mark Greenwood, the Elim National Evangelist, reminds us that evangelism is a God idea: as we do our bit God will do His. As we put aside our excuses we discover the most amazing thing: God goes with us wherever He sends us.

Shame is an insidious and powerful feeling that distorts our sense of self and leaves us believing we are defective. These beliefs are at complete odds with how God made us and sees us. In this message, professional Christian counsellor and guest speaker Kay Lawrence looks at healthy shame vs toxic shame; the manifestations of shame and how to change the script.

As Christians we have the most incredible news to tell and yet the crazy thing is that we can sometimes be reticent to tell it. This sermon by guest speaker Gary Gibbs, Director of REACH (Elim's national evangelism and church planting department), reminds us that we can have confidence to go because God is not only for us but also with us and in us wherever we go.

In this message our Elim Regional Leader Dave Campbell reinforces some wonderful biblical truths: we don't gain God's favour, we just receive it; the currency of the kingdom of heaven is hunger - therefore we can have as much of God as we want. Dave shows us how to follow - and keep - the presence of God both in the river (i.e. the good times when God's voice is abundantly clear) and the desert (i.e. those challenging times when God seems far off). Indeed in those desert times we need to remember the voice from the river that says we are loved and favoured by God.

A chance to listen to the lecture presented at the One Church School of Apologetics by Professor Gary Habermas on the Minimal Facts Method and the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus.
Gary demonstrates that independent of the historicity of the gospels or one’s view of the reliability or inspiration of the Bible, the outcome of historiographical scholarship demonstrates conclusively that Jesus died, was buried and rose to life in line with 1 Corinthians 15.
Gary is Distinguished Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Liberty University, USA. He is widely considered the world expert on the historiographical evidence for Christ's resurrection.
