1 Corinthians
Taught by Justin Fourie
It is hard to imagine a church with more problem than the one in Corinth – rivalries, chaos in their gatherings, lawsuits between members, sexual immorality, and even people dying because of sin. This unit dives into 1 Corinthians helping us understand what Christian life should be like in the time between Jesus’ cross and the resurrection of the dead.
Thursdays | 7:30-9:30pm | 22 Oct – 26 Nov

John
Taught by Ewen Lin
John wrote his gospel so that its readers might believe that ‘Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by believing have life in his name’. (John 20:31) Go deeper into John’s gospel and engage with Jesus and his abundant, eternal life!
Tuesdays | 7:30-9:30pm | 20 Oct – 24 Nov

Evangelism
Taught by Jordan Thyer
How can they believe in Jesus if they haven’t heard of him? (Rom 10:14) We live in a context where most have not heard the gospel of Jesus clearly. In this unit we will clarify what the gospel is and explore practical ways to do everyday evangelism, so that those we know can hear, understand and believe.

Time: 7:30pm – 9:30pm
Venue: Morley Baptist Church, Bassendean

Sharing the Gospel with Muslims
Taught by Mike Webb
Many Muslims who now follow Jesus testify that what touched them most was experiencing the love of Christ through Christians. This course is designed to help you do just that—love Muslims well.
Through a deeper understanding of Islam, you’ll learn how to reduce barriers, build bridges, and form genuine relationships. You’ll also gain firsthand insight by visiting a mosque, hearing directly from imams, and listening to powerful stories of those who have come to faith in Christ from a Muslim background.

Reformation, revolution and revival; how have past movements such as these impacted the church? This unit focuses on the history of the church from 1550 to today. Examine some of the past major events, issues and people to see what they can teach us about ourselves and what influence they have on the spread of the gospel today.
Date: Thursday, 7 May – 11 June
Time: 7:30pm – 9:30pm
Venue: Trinity Theological College
Inspired by Trinity at Night
“After experiencing the faithful proclamation of Christ in the teaching in the Trinity at Night courses and the guidance of mentors, I chose to study for my MDiv at Trinity. The teaching and guidance of the staff and lecturers has been extremely valuable and not only am I learning about Christ, but I am encouraged to grow and be built up in Christ Jesus in all areas of my life. At the completion of my studies, I would like to work in pastoral ministry.”
– Shawn Tan
