Morning Sessions (9.30-10am): True Friendship

Start your day with us in the International Politics Building for breakfast, devotions, and prayer as we dive into what genuine friendship means—especially the friendship we have in Jesus.

What does True Friendship look like? What does God’s Word tell us about friendship? Who is the model of our friendship today? In a world of fleeting connections, God's word offers a timeless guide to meaningful relationships. Guided by Vaughan Robert’s book, we’ll explore this together through daily themes:

Monday: True Friendship is Crucial

Tuesday: True Friendship is Close

Wednesday: True Friendship is Constant

Thursday: True Friendship is Careful

Friday: True Friendship is Christ-Centred

Evening Sessions (8.30pm): Off Limits & More

Evenings are a chance to dive into some of the tough questions we face as Christians today—issues the world talks about a lot, but the church can sometimes shy away from. We’ll explore why staying silent isn’t an option and how God’s truth helps us respond with grace and confidence. Join us to explore:

Monday - Off Limits: Rediscovering Jesus' Relevance. Wondering how Jesus fits into your life in a world that challenges your beliefs? Perhaps your friends are challenging your beliefs, or you're wrestling with how Jesus' message truly fits into your life right now. In this session, we'll unpack why Jesus is more relevant than ever, how knowing Him more will help us to confidently share Him with others, and understand why He's never truly 'off limits'.

Tuesday - Off Limits: The Big Wide World. Following our discussion on Jesus's enduring relevance, we'll shift into smaller groups to tackle the Off Limit issues of today. This is your chance to discuss the questions your friends are asking—the ones that often feel too controversial or complex for easy answers. Together, we'll explore these pressing issues, always seeking to understand how Jesus remains at the absolute centre of our faith; to shape our responses, offering clarity, truth, and grace in a confusing world.

Wednesday - Off Limits: Closer to Home. Building on our exploration of Jesus's relevance and today's issues, we'll then turn our attention to the unspoken realities within the church itself. Are there subjects that feel "off-limits" to discuss openly in Christian circles, even though they can deeply impact your faith and daily life? We will bring questions and experiences to the table – from doubts and mental health struggles to navigating ethical dilemmas within a church context. Together, we'll prayerfully consider these topics, and how we can faithfully engage with them.

Thursday - Question Time. Finally, have your chance to ask anything we might have missed. Bring your questions, and we’ll get answers from experts ready to help.
