Each week a simple prayer focus will be raised for you to pray wherever you are.
Focus: That we appreciate the Sovereignty of God in our lives.
Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.
MiB April 2015: Male & Female - Any Difference?
When we say: Men are bigger or stronger than women, what do we mean?
Besides obvious physical differences, are there any other differences that are mental,
emotional and psychological that have spiritual or even ecclesiastical implications?
This talk is designed to help participants understand and appreciate the subtle and
obvious gender differences and form a correct view of our gender identity.

11th April 2015 (Saturday)
9.00am to 1.30pm
BBTC Sanctuary (Level 3)
“In 1 Peter 3:15, the disciples of Christ are “always being prepared to make a defense (ESV)”
of their Christian faith. How easy is that in a scientifically minded, secularly based and liberally
permissive world today? For most young, simply reiterating what is Christian (right) and what
is non-Christian (wrong) belief and behaviour will not do much to help build their faith. How
can we convince a questioning generation and continue to fulfill the great commission,
radically making “disciples of nations”?
Come join us and witness an unprecedented gathering of some of the best local apologists
and cultural defenders, as they tackle some of the most pertinent issues today. A 15-Minute
Defense: Faith, Culture, Generations… a Seminar by Worldview Partners, will attempt to
bolster your intellectual convictions about your faith and challenge your “salt and light”
relevancy in today’s world. Don’t miss the boat!”
Topics explored:
1. Is Theism An Irrational Assumption?
2. The Resurrection - Did it Really Happen?
3. What Exactly is the Christian Worldview?
4. Should Christian Integrity be Upheld in Secular Public Square?
5. Public Morality - Show Me Its Importance!
6. Plus updates on the inaugural Worldview Camp!

Black and White - What has God been saying all along?
Morality, Marriage and Family are hotly-debated social issues today. God has plenty to say
about this in his Word. So-called progressives, however, insist that times have changed,
the Bible is no longer relevant. A famous apologist gave this brilliant response: The Christian
message is based on truth, not the mood of our times. Moods change. Truth does not.
It’s time we get back to God’s Word as our compass and only standard.
About the Speaker - Since coming to faith in 1971 as a 16 year-old heroin shooting Jewish
rock drummer, Dr Michael Brown has devoted his life to awakening the Church, sparking
moral and cultural transformation in society. He is the host of the nationally-syndicated Line of
Fire radio broadcast in USA, the president of FIRE School of Ministry, and a professor of Bible
and Hebrew studies at several leading seminaries. He has preached in more than 25 nations
and is the author of 25 books and numerous articles. Dr. Brown has debated Jewish rabbis,
agnostic professors, and gay activists on radio, TV, and college campuses. He is widely
recognized as the world’s foremost Messianic Jewish apologist.
