Learning 2024: Theology Sessions

In Acts chapter two, we see a picture of the early church after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension - these are words we have held to and pursued:

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
Acts 2:42 (NIVUK)

So, what was the apostles’ teaching?

We are going to spend the first part of 2024, dedicating ourselves to some core foundations of the early Church. To dwell in the New Testament and dig a little deeper into the gospel of Christ (kerygma) and the teachings of his earliest disciples (didache).

This month, we will hear from Russell Godward, as he shares personal stories, bible teaching and equips us with tools to effectively share Jesus and make disciples who make disciples.

Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’ (Matthew 9)

LISTEN: Drew Caldwell - Missiology

Using simple bible-based teaching Russell will draw out proven ways that as Jesus followers we can pray, disciple, and multiply disciples in our town.

About Russell Godward

Russell is a great friend of Proximity Church. He is married to Janet, and they have a fantastic family, including our grandchildren. Russell spent 20 years as a senior pastor in Stanford-le-Hope, and has since focussed his life on the vision of #NoPlaceLeft across the UK. He is still local but travels across the country, and around the world, to equip the Church to see a multiplication of new disciples and churches - everywhere!

Holy Spirit 2023

24-7 Prayer’s Roger Ellis gave us a word last year about moving in the spirit; something that is not just for the Prayer Room, or our meetings - it pours into out communities.

So throughout 2023, we will make the Holy Spirit the focus of our study. To breathe Her in, explore Her depths and encounter Her presence.

This month we welcome back our friend Joe Gisbey!
