Middle-age: the stranger in the mirror through gospel eyes

For many of us middle-age is an unwelcome guest who has come to stay permanently. We will be looking beyond our grey hairs and wrinkles to think about middle-age from the perspective of the gospel of Christ. Expect to be pleasantly surprised.

Neglected disciplines I
Julian Hardyman
Paul says ‘train yourself to be godly’ (1 Timothy 4:7). The implications of the athletic metaphor are intriguing and significant. They point to the ‘spiritual disciplines’ ??” a relatively neglected area in which many of us need help. We will be thinking about the training routines (prayer, worship, bible reading, fasting etc) that help us to grow spiritually. Expect more practice than theory.

Neglected disciplines II
Julian Hardyman
In this second seminar, we will be looking at a different dimension of the discipline that is needed for growth in godliness ??” the development of ‘Repeated inner gospel-driven choices’. The session will be highly practical, aiming at equipping us to train our inner life with the gospel. Attendance at the first seminar is not necessary to benefit from this session.

Neglected disciplines III: self talk
Julian Hardyman
In several places in the Psalms, the author addresses himself, e.g. ‘Praise the Lord, my soul.’ We will be looking at this ancient biblical practice and seeing how helpful it is in addressing dryness in worship, depression, feeling distant from God and inner restlessness.
