Steve Osmond’s Talk Details

Talk 1: Conversations that Count

For many Christians, the thought of evangelism is something that fills them with anxiety and fear.

What if there are questions that I can’t answer?

What if they disagree with me?

What if I just look like an idiot?

Rather than trying to have all the answers, this talk will help prepare you to become better in having good conversations that will lead you to sharing your faith in Jesus more naturally and confidently.

Talk 2: Injustice in Jesus’ Name

War. Genocide. Abuse of power. Racism. Corrupt leadership. Hypocrisy. Sexual abuse.

These are some of the charges that are brought against the church. How do we as Christians respond to these realities personally as well as when faced with questions about these issues from others?

This talk will help people think through some of these issues as well as use these questions to direct others to the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus.

Practical Details

Venue: St Mungo’s Church – Balerno
