What the Bible says about our reaction to offence, conflict, and disagreement.Hurt is inevitable when we do life together, and how we respond to offence matters. In this session, Mike Davies reminds us that the Bible doesn’t promise we won’t be hurt; it shows us how to process it well. We must acknowledge the real pain caused, whether by misunderstanding or sin, and remember that not every hurt is the result of abuse. By looking at the instruction given in Matthew 18, we ask how we process our hurts in a way that honours God and builds the church.This session is part of the #BeEquipped series – conversations about current issues facing the church.

What if the God we think we know isn’t who He really is?We must understand God’s true nature for faith that leads to salvation. Andrew Selley asks us whether our understanding of God is genuinely shaped by Scripture or distorted by wrong beliefs. The Bible warns us that a misrepresentation of God’s love can lead to believing a false gospel and following a different Jesus. By embracing God’s foundation of righteousness and justice, we can enjoy His perfect love and escape His wrath. Saving faith is a faith that perseveres and remains in Christ till the end.This session is part of the #BeEquipped series – conversations about current issues facing the church.
