Man 27-30 Sep 2023
What is Man?
We don't know who we are anymore.
We create our own purpose.
We learn to live with ourselves and others - the good, the bad and the ugly. And yet, human beings are remarkable. Full of potential. Talent, productivity and endurance appears once in a while. Even self-sacrifice, worship and love. There is also great potential for selfishness and greed, lust and unending darkness. Are all of us just balancing good and evil?
This TTC, we will study what engages even those who do not care for God. Themselves. Ourselves. Who even are we? Why are we here in this world? There is so much confusion within ourselves and from the world about crucial questions on identity and purpose.
To answer these, we must know and love our Maker's point of view. To answer these, we must know a whole host of foundational doctrines such as Christology, the doctrine of sin and eschatology among others. Learn to think theologically and ask the right questions from our Maker and Designer - our great God in His Scripture. Both men and women are made in the image of God. What does it mean to worship as a man and as a woman? The Son of God came and lived for God in his body and raised to life bodily. What does it mean for your body and what you do with it? What perspective of the world has creeped into our hearts and minds, in our churches and ministries? How do we avoid cliche and misunderstood answers of "I need to glorify God"? What does it even mean to be made in the image of God? As always, TTC will be time to make your mind bigger, to love God deeper and serve His church better.
"What people revere, they resemble, either for ruin or restoration." - Dr G. K. Beale.
