James: Bringing Back the Badly Behaved

Morning Bible Reader: Andy Gemmill

Monday-Friday | 11:30am-12:45pm | Main Tent + Relay Venues
  • Monday – Trails, Wickedness and the Implanted Word: James 1:1-21

    Here we see that James is not merely a “practical” letter written to Christians in general, but a penetrating analysis and treatment of an undiagnosed spiritual disease among believers who are experiencing significant difficulties.

  • Tuesday – Deception and Division: James 1:22-2:26

    James begins to prise the lid off the can of worms, exposing the disease beneath the symptoms.

  • Wednesday – Two Teachers, Two Harvests: James 3:1-18

    Here teachers and speech are seen to be particularly important in the disease process, either for good or for ill.

  • Thursday – The Heart of the Matter: James 4:1-5:6

    The heart of the disease is exposed, and God’s gracious solution is displayed.

  • Friday – Being Patient and Bringing Back: James 5:7-20

    Believers are urged to swallow the medicine themselves, and to help one another swallow it.

19-24s at Keswick

The theme for the Convention this year is Transformed to help us consider the ways that we have been, will be and are being Transformed by Christ and his Spirit. In 19-24s, we’ll particularly focus on the ways that we are being made more like Christ, through the transforming work of the Spirit.

Morning Gathering: Monday-Friday | 10am-11am | The Foundry

In these sessions we’ll be focussing on the Fruit of the Spirit (as listed in Galatians 5), and thinking through what it looks like to cultivate and display that fruit in our lives. 

Monday – Introduction to the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5)

We’ll begin the week with an introduction to the idea of the fruit of the Spirit, and in particular, the fact that it is fruit and not ‘fruits’! Spiritual fruit and spiritual gifts are not the same – we shouldn’t expect that one of us will have love, and another gentleness, and so on, but rather, that each of us has been given all of the fruit, as each of us has received the Spirit.

Tuesday – Love, Joy and Peace

Working through what Paul meant by the words ‘love’, ‘joy’ and ‘peace’, and considering how they ought to be seen and lived out in our work/studies, friendships and family, romantic relationships, church life, and evangelism.

Wednesday – Keswick Lecture (Main Tent)

We will join the Keswick Lecture in the Main Tent.

Thursday – Patience, Kindness, Goodness

Working through what Paul meant by the words ‘patience’, ‘kindness’ and ‘goodness’, and considering how they ought to be seen and lived out in our work/studies, friendships and family, romantic relationships, church life, and evangelism.

Friday – Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control

Working through what Paul meant by the words ‘faithfulness’, ‘gentleness’ and ‘self-control’, and considering how they ought to be seen and lived out in our work/studies, friendships and family, romantic relationships, church life, and evangelism.

Afternoon Social: Monday-Friday

Whether you’ve come to Keswick as part of a group, or you’re here on your own, we’d love to help you create community this week! Socials will take place each weekday afternoon – check the Instagram @keswick_19-24s for more info!

Each evening, after the Evening Celebration, we’ll gather for 19-24s Late Night. Join us for an eclectic mixture of interviews, games, prayer, music, and general fun. A great way to end each day!

Prayer at Convention

Prayer is an important part of the Convention, both in bringing our thanksgiving and requests to God, and supporting those who would appreciate prayer with our team.

Morning Prayer Meetings

Monday-Friday | 8:45-9:15am | Base Camp

Join us each morning for a time of prayer as we bring thanksgiving and prayer requests to our gracious God.

Daily Celebration

Monday-Friday | 11.15am–1.00pm | PF G.02

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

The Bible is True!

We will be looking at 1 Corinthians 15:1-2 and 12-17. If we believe that the Bible is true, then we can believe everything written in it. We can believe and trust that Jesus was a real man, who lived a real life, who died a real death and was raised back to life in a real resurrection. 

Jesus’ Resurrection

We will be looking at Jesus’ death and resurrection: what happened, why did it happen, and what does it mean for us?

The Hope We Have!

We will compare Jesus’ resurrection (and therefore our future resurrection) with other resurrection stories in the Bible (Lazarus & Jairus’ daughter).

The Great Commission: Global Mission

While we wait for our resurrection, we are called to live out the mission Jesus gave us (Matthew 28:19-20). We will be looking at ‘famous’ missionaries and global missions.

The Great Commission: Local Mission

We will be looking at examples from the early church as they lived out the great commission locally. We want to encourage and equip our guests with practical ways in which they can live out the great commission in their own communities, families, and churches.

Afternoon Workshop

Tuesday | 2:30-4:00pm | PF G.02
We will be looking at some of the ‘unbelievable’ stories in the Bible through creative means (dance, drama, craft) – if we believe that the Bible is true, then what can we learn from some of these stories?
