Baptist Churches of NSW and ACT Church Consultancy Training Workshop 4

The theme of today’s consultancy training workshop was change and transition in churches, particularly the transition of pastoral leaders. We began the morning with a reflection on leadership in the wilderness time – Moses and Exodus style. This was adapted from some of William Bridges work on change. We looked at facilitating Pastors leaving churches well and considered an example of a consultancy around this topic. An update on a current consultancy the team is working on gave us plenty to reflect on after lunch and we finished the day exploring transitional consultancies and reflected on the 5 developmental tasks involved.

Notes for the day are available on our group website.

Punchbowl Christian Centre

I enjoyed spending the morning with friends at Punchbowl Christian Centre on Sunday. As part of the church’s “My place in God’s space” series we looked at the nature of Spiritual Gifts and their use for God’s kingdom. In this session we unpacked the New Testament teaching on “charismata” or grace gifts. I suggested that it is most important to be open to the Giver -God, and open to where and how God’s grace might flow through our lives to others. Rather than seeking out specific gifts, maybe the challenge is to find the areas in which God’s grace flowing through us impacts the lives of others for their growth.

Tim taught on Jesus’ approach to conflict over two sessions at Door of Hope Christian Church in Launceston on Sunday. In the first session, Matthew 5, 7, and 18 provided the basis for a pathway of resolution. At the 5.00pm service, the focus moved to forgiveness as a tool for resolving interpersonal conflict. The two powerpoints are displayed below.

Sheffield Bible Chapel – Encouragement

At his home church in Sheffield, Tim spoke on the topic of Encouragement. Through the sermon he did a word study on parakaeo – the NT greek term often translated to “encourage”.
