Ethics

In the ethics course we'll build an evangelical ethics framework. What makes ethics Christian? Where does love fit in to it? What difference does sin make to the way we approach ethical issues. We'll be road testing our framework as we consider different moral issues such as using the OT law in ethics, abortion, animal rights, divorce and remarriage, and land rights in Australia.

Using Your Exchange as a Citizen of Heaven

Introduction: A Ticket to a Wonderful Journey

Unit 1 - Departure Lounge: Everything you need to know before you go

Unit 2 - Arrival Gate: Will anyone be there to meet me? What do I need to get sorted? What will it be like?

Unit 3 - A Citizen of Heaven: How will I live while on exchange?

Unit 4 - Prepare for Landing: What now that you’re home?

NB: There are further materials to help you in your preparation in a separate Appendix Document. Please make sure you have both documents. The first three units are for before you leave. Unit 4 is to be completed once you return from exchange.

Working in God’s World

This intensive is for all those who are preparing for life in the workforce. It is designed to help students work out what to think (and do) about work as you start out in this new chapter of your life. By providing a biblical perspective on working after university, the course focuses on glorifying God through your work. While the particular emphasis of the course is for graduating students, you may also like to do this course as you start on an internship or if you spend a lot of your time in the workforce.

Changing the World through 1-2-1 Ministry

⁠1-2-1s are one of the easiest, most portable, transferable, and powerful forms of word ministry that any Christian be a part of! But often people feel stuck because they aren't sure exactly what to actually do. This intensive gives the clear basics of a 1-2-1 as well as extra insights and ideas for great pastoral care and meaningful spiritual conversations, so we all can be equipped for sharing God's word with other Christians as well as unbelievers.
