Adoption 19-26 Jul 2026
Theme 2026: Adoption
Adoption is one of the Bible’s most breathtaking gospel truths. God does not merely rescue sinners from judgement. He brings them into His household, gives them His name, and teaches them to live as His people.
In the Old Testament, God takes Israel as His son, bringing them near by covenant love. As the story progresses, Scripture presses us forward to a greater fulfilment. In the New Testament, adoption shines with full clarity in Christ and is seen in the Church, a new covenant people gathered from every tribe and tongue, living as sons and daughters who call God “Father.”
This theme matters deeply for the life of the church. When adoption is assumed but not understood, assurance weakens, prayer grows distant, obedience turns weary, and church life becomes thin. But when adoption is grasped through the Bible’s storyline, Christians grow steadier, churches grow healthier, and the gospel becomes clearer in how we live together.
What is CTC?
Creation to Consummation (CTC) is the Biblical Theology conference in Malaysia for the strengthening of Christ’s church in Klang Valley. We gather to be trained in reading the whole Bible as one unified story, from creation to consummation, fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
Biblical Theology helps the church handle Scripture with greater clarity and confidence. It teaches us to see how the gospel shapes every part of Christian life and church life, not only what we believe, but how we worship, pray, disciple, endure suffering, pursue holiness, and live together as God’s people. CTC is part of GGF’s commitment to Learning to Learn God’s Word, so that Christians grow in biblical literacy, and local churches grow in wisdom, stability, and faithfulness.
CTC is for university students, young adults, working adults, seniors, and church ministers. If you want to understand the Bible more deeply, love the church more faithfully, and grow in settled confidence in Christ, this week is for you.
Biblical Theology unlocks Christ’s wisdom for His church.
