If you have never really had a good biblical grounding in the Christian Life, or you have ongoing issues in your life, then this 12 week course is for you. While it is a substantial course, the rewards & results will prove well worth the investment of time
What is involved? It will give you an excellent foundation from which to grasp and put into practice the insights of "LIVING FREE". It will also enable you to deal with all the baggage with which you may have come to faith, however long you may have been a Christian
Thousands of people in the UK and around the world have had their lives transformed through engaging with these truths
Who is it for? Everyone who would like a good grounding in New Testament Christianity, so you can truly and confidently live out your faith
The most recent course completed in January 2012, and was well received by those who took part. We do not yet have any dates set for further courses, but this may change, so watch this space!

Key Topics Covered:
Part A – Key Truths
• Where did I come from? our loss of significance, security and acceptance, now regained in Christ

• Believing what God (in the bible) says about me, rather than what I feel or hear in my head
Part B – The World, the Flesh and the Devil
• The world’s view of truth
• World-views, and how the world tries to squeeze us into its own mould
