Launch 2025 - The Kingdom of God
What is the Kingdom and where does it come from? How does the Bible fit together and what is its main focus? What does the kingdom mean for my life now, others around me and into the future?
The Main Sessions
The purple passages
The morning sessions include conference community news, prayer, a short Bible reading, and a sermon.
Our evening sessions are fuller and longer with singing, conference spots and extra evening attendees who can't make it during the day.
Our preacher is Mikey Lynch. He's going to unpack the beauty and complexity of our topic.
1. Responding to the King
2. A Story of two halves
3. The songs of the King
4. Hopes, dreams and expectations
5. Living the kingdom life
These sermons are bigger than a youth group talk or the average church sermon—which is great, because it gives us more room to explore the awesome truths of the Bible and go into detail about common questions and practical applications.
Seminar Groups
The story of the kingdom from begining to end
Exploring in depth and hands on what the Bible says about our theme. The seminars lay down important foundations upon which you’ll be able to keep building a life of Christian loving, living and understanding. You'll be in a group of around 8–18 people with plenty of mixed interaction.
Speaking the Word Groups
Talking it out together
Speaking the Word groups give a unique opportunity to talk it out: how the gospel affects our lives. These small self-led groups of 3–5 people can meet in the venue, go for a walk or find a patch of sun as they chat through some discussion questions provided.
Evangelism & Mission Workshops
Getting informed and resourced
An opportunity to nurture your gifts and gain new skills and tips to help you to serve the gospel more thoughtfully, creatively and confidently. The elective workshops will be run by local church and ministry leaders.
Social Time
Organise your adventure...
You're free to use this time as best serves you! There'll be a number of activities ideas join in on. But if you need some time out, that's cool too. We’ll get back all together for dinner.
Food
Lunch: DIY - Do It Yourself (apart from Thursday)
You might want to bring a leftover delicacy from home, ring ahead or pick up takeaway from nearby. Groups often head to a local park to eat and hang out. Our final main session, on Thursday, will take place over lunch, which will be provided.
Dinner: Tuesday & Wednesday evening
On Tuesday we'll have some delcious take out and on Wednesday the restaurant comes to us with an international flavour. This evening meal is sponsored by the Church Mission Society (CMS).
