Identity: the old and new
This week we looked at what the Bible says about our identity.
Talk Outline
- Jeremiah was a bullfrog – the need for biblical theology
- You and the Old Covenant
- The New Covenant and You
- Table Talk: What sort of God and what sort of you?
- How can we understand the place and use of the Old Testament today?
- Read what Jesus says in Matthew 26:28-29. When are the things we have read in Jeremiah fulfilled?
- Read 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. How does the Apostle Paul understand the time, place and people of the ‘new covenant’?
- How does this new covenant work for God’s people today? (2 Corinthians 3:4-6)
- Read Galatians 3:10-14. Who are we according to the new covenant?
- How would you answer someone who said the God of the Old Testament is different to the God of the New Testament?

- It’s the new you!

Come to SPRTE!
Each year, the AFES National Training Event sees students from all over Australia meeting together to study God’s word and learn to put it into practice. This year, NTE goes international. We have the privilege of hosting the South Pacific Regional Training Event for Fiji, Vanuatu, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
The theme is Cross + Culture: it is the cross of Christ that is the centre of God’s plan. And it is the cross that both transforms and crosses our cultures.
SPRTE has two parts:
Conference: 29 November – 3 December 2008, ANU, Canberra.
Mission: 3 – 7 December 2008, the Bendigo team is going to Frankston!
We will learn from God’s word together in our main meetings, study the word closely in smaller Strand groups, and be challenged to sharpen our ministry skills in workshops. SPRTE is capped off by a short mission with partner churches, where we will put everything we’ve learned into practice.
Join students from all over the South Pacific to be enriched as we study the cross of Christ! If you are interested in coming, please talk to Di or contact us to receive a special discount on registration.
