Last week, Greg Haslam appeared on Premier Radio’s Inspirational Breakfast, and discussed our Tough Questions series. He also took questions from the public; talked about how he came to faith; gave advice on the perfect carrot cake (!), and shared his TV recommendations for 2012.

Are you ready to ask those Tough Questions?

Rebecca Nind — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:48:31 +0000

David Cameron recently commented that Britain is ‘a Christian country.’ But Christianity is a mystery to many in our society and, for some of us, there are big question marks over certain aspects of the Bible and the Christian faith.

We’ve decided to devote one Sunday evening a month to tackling these questions. Each event will consist of a short talk, followed by a Q & A session with experienced theologians and pastors. All are welcome to take part in the open dialogue, and we encourage seekers, atheists, agnostics, or whoever you are, to come and ask those ‘Tough Questions.’

The dates are as follows:

How can you be sure there’s a God? 29th January 2012
How can you say there is only one way to God? 26th February 2012
Isn’t the Bible a myth? 25th March 2012
Why does God allow suffering? 29th April 2012
How can God have a son? 13th May 2012
What gives you the right to tell me how to live my life? 17th June 2012
How can a God of love send people to hell? 15th July 2012

Each session starts at 5.30pm, at Westminster Chapel, and will be followed by drinks and light refreshments. We will make the audio of the talks available online…

We look forward to dialoguing with you then!

Guard the Gospel

Rebecca Nind — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:45:09 +0000

On Sunday 22nd January 2012, Greg Haslam will be starting a new sermon series entitled, ‘Guard the Gospel.’

He’ll be looking at 2 Timothy; the Apostolic Gospel and the Apostolic Ministry.

Greg writes;

There is enormous fascination in reading the ‘famous last words’ of great people whose lives shook the world. What was uppermost in their minds during their final hours can still have an impact upon our lives today. II Timothy is Paul’s last letter and final legacy, written within days of his imminent martyrdom at Rome. It is reminiscent of Sir Winston Churchill’s fearless war speeches to beleaguered Britain during the darkest days of WWII. Here, the great Apostle charges his fellow-soldier Timothy to ‘Never, never, never give up!’ – in a moving rallying call still resonating to all of us who love the gospel, and long for it’s ongoing revolutionary influence today.

Paul’s sober realism unmasks the threat of false teachers and evil-livers who still love to intimidate and silence us, if they can. His striking courage and strong counsel is actually Christ’s voice, urging us to grab our combat gear and weapons then enter what C.H. Spurgeon called ‘The Greatest Fight in the World’. This is the worldwide battle to save countless lives drowning in a tsunami of sin and lies. This deadly tide can only be turned back when the ‘unafraid and unashamed’ fearlessly preach God’s saving message as though they really believed it. II Timothy then becomes our personal and timely summons to ‘Guard the Gospel’ in our time and generation.
