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
