This months at THEOS we will be turning the spotlight on our understanding of 'sacred' and 'secular'.
Are there bits of your life that seem irrelevant or discordant with your faith?
What can we learn about enacting the mission of God in our whole lives from the whole life, death and resurrection of Jesus. He is the ultimate manifestation of mission who united the sacredness of God and the 'secularity' of human life in himself.
Join us tomorrow, 9th March, 7.30pm at the Nazarene Theological College, Dene rd, Didsbury.

Discipleship - The 'Mark' of Following Jesus
Is discipleship really an essential for the Christian or is it just an extra for those who are really interested?
Why does Jesus seem to frame the whole of his mission around the idea of discipleship in Matthew 28?
On Tuesday night at THEOS this is our discussion. It would be excellent if you would join us.

Happy New Year!
Hi Everyone,
Just a heads up about our next THEOS gathering on 12th January 7.30pm at Nazarene Theological College, Dene Rd, Didsbury.
This month Trevor Hutton will be sharing with us on The Spirit & the Mission of God.
In all of our discussions on the Mission of God so far the big question for me has been 'how does the Holy Spirit fit in here?' It seems there's a danger either of dimissing the personhood of the Holy Spirit within the coming of God's kingdom by speaking of him/her/it as the force of God in the world. Or limiting our understanding of the Holy Spirit to specific expressions or gifts such as tongues or prophesy that only come into play during the slow songs in a worship time.
There must more to the Holy Spirit than this!
Trevor Hutton is a lecturer at Nazarene Theological College in Church Development & Evangelism and is also Director of Momentum an organisation bringing creative thinking and action to mission and evangelism across the UK.
Should be a good night, I hope to see you there!

THEOS November
What is the mission of God?
Remember it is Neil Hudson this month and he is going to take the line of Mission, Humanity, Jesus and the story of reconciliation. This with reference to the book 'Mission of God'. Neil is going to be considering us as individuals and our responsibility in making disciples. Should be a great time and I am sure Neil with be stimulating and challenging as ever. This will lead on to Chick Yuill's session next month when he will be taking more of the Mission and the Church emphasis as collective activity.

What is God up to?
It's the question that on some level the whole world is asking.
In trying to following Jesus in a real and meaningful way we want to know what God's doing and how he wants us to respond or get involved. For people unsure about the reliability of the creator of the universe this is often the cry of their hearts as they look for hope in their world.
This week in THEOS we are starting with the conviction that God is up to something, but we're holding our preconceptions lightly and trying to take a fresh, big picture look at the Bible to figure out just what is the mission of God.
Join us!
THEOS, Tuesday 13th October, 7.30pm @ Nazarene Theological College... and THEOS Extra afterwards at the pub!

THEOS in October - Tuesday 13th 7:30pm
What is the mission of God?
How is the story of that mission told in the Bible?
This month at THEOS Chris Lane and Anna Thompson will be exploring both sides of the Bible asking that very question.
It would be great to see you there.
Also, don't forget, we'll announce the location of THEOS Extra so we can all continue the discussion after THEOS if you so wish.
