KOINOS
SEMINARS
GROUPED AROUND THE THEME OF PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY
Jesus meant our relationship with him to be central, the factor around which all the rest of life revolves. If you would like to help make this principle a reality in the lives of Christians in your church, why not consider bringing one ore more of the following seminars to your church?
The following seminars (individually or in a series of your choosing) focus on how we can live as Christ-followers seven days a week.
Would you like to see dates on which the following seminars are currently being offered?
Current KOINOS Practical Christianity seminars include:
Improving your
relationships
What is God's ideal for our relationships? In real-life
terms what does it mean to love one's neighbor as oneself? Do we have the same
obligation to love all our 'neighbors' in the same way? This seminar examines
biblical teaching on these questions and more.
Does God have a plan for our financial lives? If I tithe, I
can do what I want with the rest of my income, right? Scripture says far more
about money than many Christians think. How practical are some of its seemingly
impractical financial instructions? This seminar combines both biblical theology
and practical teaching from one with years as a wise steward of God's resources.
Bringing together your
occupation and your vocation
God wants you to see your occupation as a vocation, as a
calling from him. That's a nice true statement, but what does it mean for a
public school teacher, an office assistant, a lawyer, or a salesperson? This
seminar offers practical hints on integrating your Christian faith into those
40+ hours per week.
Living in a post-modern
world—the Northwest
The gospel has not changed, but the address to which we
deliver it certainly has. What does it mean to live in a world that is seemingly
more open to spiritual matters, yet still rejects Jesus as Savior? How do we bring Scriptural living and Northwest lifestyles together?
In layperson language, this seminar introduces you to the new world in which we
live.
Using technology (without
letting technology use you)
Most of us take technology (cell phones, computers, medical
technology) for granted. We have no idea how much our electronic devices have
changed life in the last thirty years. This seminar goes beyond a discussion of
the evils of internet pornography (serious though they may be) to examine the
often ignored impact technology has had on such crucial life themes such as
relationships, worship, and communication.
Setting personal
priorities
Today's pace of life seems to drive so many of us. At the end
of many days, we wonder who or what drove us through the race. Would you like to
hear some wonderful insights on how God and you can regain control of your
actions and attitudes? Plan to attend this seminar.
Recreation—(using free
time to re-create yourself and others)
Who in the Northwest needs a seminar on recreation? We
Christians who are looking for more than new ways to take time off, but true
means of allowing God, in our expendable time, to re-create ourselves.
