Meeting the Real Jesus

It's so easy to have a domesticated picture of Jesus but Matthew portrays Jesus as the One who calls us to radical discipleship.
The Secret of Contentment
Philippians 4
In a world of disappointment we seek to understand from the Bible what true contentment is.


Latimer Leader's Forum & National Conference 2008
A Heart for the Gospel

Friday 8 August to Saturday 9 August
St David's Anglican (West Hamilton Anglican) Church, Hamilton

Guest Speakers

  • Vaughan Roberts, Rector St Ebbs, Oxford, UK and Richard Trist, EFAC, Australia
  • Richard Trist Training Officer for EFAC Australia and Director of Field Education at Ridley College.

Vaughan is author of several books including God's Big Picture and Life's Big Questions. He says that as Christ gathers his church and rules it through his word the preaching of the word must be the focal point of our congregational gatherings if Christ is to be at the centre. That should in turn equip all God's people for their 'works of ministry'. Vaughan is a founding member of "9:38" which encourages people to consider full-time gospel ministry.
