"Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90.12

This is some of the greatest advice you will ever be given whatever age you are. The average life expectancy in  the UK is now around 82 years  depending which region you live in. In 1950 the average was around 67.  In Singapore today the average age for life expectancy is around 84 and in 1950 it was just 60.

Join Dr. Williamson in this webinar about the profound connection between storytelling, prophetic imagination, and healing. Stories are powerful tools that can foster personal transformation, emotional release, and a deeper understanding of oneself. 

Record numbers of divorce and remarriage, along with all kinds of sexual compromise plague the modern Church. Sadly, the rates of divorce and remarriage among Christians practically mirror those outside the family of faith.

This is a fascinating condition characterised by roller coaster highs and lows in mood. You will discover why this is a condition where psychiatrists could miss the diagnosis through no fault of their own. Yet accurate diagnosis is needed for correct treatment to be given. With proper management, the best chances of recovery can be achieved.

People’s values; their morality, as well as their assumptions about life and themselves are all driven to a large extent by the values of modern culture. Imbedded in modern culture is the idea that truth is what’s true for you. There can therefore be no moral absolutes, since truth cannot be fully understood or known.

The difference between a Christian who does something great with their life and one who doesn’t is whether their life is propelled by ‘prophetic vision.’ When we know God’s unique purpose for our life, and when an image of His potential for us burns deep into our heart, then we’ll live for something bigger than ourselves.
If our lives are not governed by prophetic vision, our spiritual lives are at risk, as the writer of Proverbs highlights: “Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained” (Proverbs 29:18).

If we do not gain power over money then money and wealth will seek to have power over us and influen̈ce and control us.

If money and possessions do have power over us then as Christians it doesn't matter how much we tithe and sow and give, God will not bless us financially by giving us more of what has power over us to harm and control us.

The doctrine of divine healing is both controversial and polarising. Some Christian groups believe that it is always God’s will to heal. Other groups state that the miraculous ability to heal was only given to the apostles, and that after their passing, healing gifts were withdrawn from the Church. Between the two extremes are a host of divergent views and perspectives.

For about 25 years, the hippopostman has delivered "love letters from God" across the world through many platforms, including the printed word, DVDs, television programmes, and now, through e-books. Come hear the "hippopostman" himself, Dr. Joseph Ozawa, tell of the wondrous deeds God has done over the years in many nations through previously unpublished "tales"!   All to the glory of God!

The Christian life is lived on a battlefield. What we find to be true – from personal experience and the testimony of Scripture – is that our life is one of continual conflict with unseen powers of wickedness arrayed in the heavenlies. These powers manifest through entities aligned to the kingdom of darkness – whose objective is our defeat and our demise.

In the west over 70 per cent of Christian young people who go on to higher education and university do not return to church. What is taught about origins and evolution and life is one of the reasons for this.

We would look at the scientific and social and spiritual effects of what is taught about creation  and evolution and how it has affected our young people and the way we think.

In more recent years, the topic of “prophets” and “prophecy” has been hotly debated in the Church, especially following the volume of prophetic words spoken into issues as diverse as the coronavirus pandemic, the US elections, and natural disasters. When prophecy fails to bring about all it promises, it leaves those holding onto it confused and asking, “Why did the prophet get it wrong?” In reality, all any of us can do at that stage is to speculate.

The issue of “discernment” is one of vital importance to the Christian life –given the range of competing voices spoken both inside and outside the Church. What has made this all the more urgent, is the ease with which we can access any number of sermons and teachings online. But how would we know whether these are ‘spiritually safe’ or not?

Mood swings happen to normal people. They are common in persons with certain personality disorder and those with neurological conditions, for example a stroke. In this talk we will focus on Bipolar Disorder. This is a fascinating condition characterised by roller coaster highs and lows in mood and its accompanying behavioural changes.  Discover why this condition could be easily misdiagnosed and undetected for years.

The topic of money and finances reaches into every area of our lives – touching the core of who we are and what we believe. The implications of our belief towards money – whether good or bad – impact us at a heart level. For as Jesus says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

While the world promotes the idea of gaining as much money as we can, and enjoying life to the fullest, the Bible presents to us a very different approach to living. It also teaches that if we have prospered in God, “to whom much is given, much will be required.”

The ‘New Age Movement’ is used to describe the alternative spiritual subculture that exists in society, whose interest is in things such as meditation, channelling, reincarnation, crystals, psychic experience, holistic health, environmentalism, UFO fascination, earth mysteries, and crop circles. From this movement has sprung diverse literature on new forms of spirituality, music, holistic medicines, as well as crafts and healing practices.

Our world is under siege by a pandemic much worse than the coronavirus, known as “pornography.” This ‘virus’ is transmitted via cyberspace and crosses every demographic. It has the ability to overthrow even the strongest among us—men and women alike.

As we journey through life, the challenges we face often evolve. For older adults, maintaining mental well-being becomes increasingly important, yet it can also become more complex. In this talk, we will explore the intricacies of coping with psychological and physical changes that take place as we age. Learn about taking care of your physical, mental and spiritual health.

An adult makes about 35,000 conscious decisions each day. Some of these are what we would call mundane, such as what to wear to work or where to park our car. Other decisions over the course of our lives, however, are much more significance. These include things such as where to live, what career to undertake, and who to marry. Obviously these kinds of decisions will have serious implications for us.

Schizophrenia, the dreaded term which conjures visions of madness and insanity, is one of the most severe, stigmatised and misunderstood forms of mental illness known to mankind. For many years the condition has been cloaked in myth and mystery.

Music is so much a part of our lives. We are constantly exposed to its influences on a daily basis. Loud beats, clever melodies, catchy lyrics, all draw us into its arena and reinforce what behaviourists have always known: music is powerful. Its influence has a profound effect—to impact hearts and minds—whether for good or for bad.

What happens to a person who’s been offended against by another in a deep and harmful way? We know that God’s children, we’re commanded to forgive our transgressors. Yet mustering the courage to forgive can be like walking on broken glass. It remains one of the hardest things to do!

What makes a study of First Corinthians of such importance for believers today – is the way in which the Apostle Paul who wrote it – addresses the same problems that plague our modern churches. Some of the issues Paul targets in his epistle include sexual immorality, moral laxness, and lawsuits among believers.

The promise to all in Christ is one of freedom and abundant life. And yet, many believers fail to experience this. Instead of victory, their walk with God is one of ongoing frustration and defeat.

The Bible states that in Christ we have become a “new creation,” and that God has made provision for the healing of our body, soul, and spirit through the work of the cross.
