The Grace & Truth Conference is excited to offer a sneak peek at the topics we'll be exploring! This year, we're diving deep into the heart of the Reformation with a focus on the Five Solas. These core theological principles have shaped Christian thought and practice for centuries, and they continue to resonate with profound relevance today.

Thursday Night: Igniting Faith in the Next Generation

We're kicking off the conference with a special emphasis on our youth and young adults. Thursday night's "Faith on Fire" event will feature dynamic TED-style talks and discussions centred on making the Five Solas relevant to a new generation. Here's a glimpse at the topics:

  • Why the Five Solas Matter to Gen Z: An exploration of the enduring importance of these principles for today's young people.
  • Sola Scriptura: Is the Bible Enough?: A look at the sufficiency of Scripture in a complex world.
  • Sola Fide: FOMO vs. Faith: Trusting God's Plan in Your Teen Years: Addressing the challenges of faith in the midst of cultural pressures.
  • Solus Christus: Jesus or Something Else?: Focusing on the centrality of Christ in our lives.
  • Sola Gratia: Grace for the Struggling Teen: Finding Hope & Forgiveness in God's Grace: Emphasising the transformative power of God's grace.
  • Soli Deo Gloria: What Are You Living For?: Examining the ultimate purpose of our lives.

The evening will culminate in a thought-provoking panel discussion: "Ask the Reformers: What Would Luther & Calvin Say About...?"

Friday and Saturday: Deepening Our Understanding

The conference continues on Friday and Saturday with a series of in-depth talks that will enrich your understanding of each of the Five Solas:

  • Solus Christus: The True Messiah: Exploring the unique role and significance of Jesus Christ.
  • The Historical Development of the 5 Solas: From Reformation - Modern Day: Tracing the historical context and ongoing relevance of these principles.
  • Sola Scriptura: The Sufficiency of Scripture: Authority in a Postmodern World: Examining the Bible's authority in contemporary culture.
  • Sola Fide: FOMO vs. Faith: Trusting God's Plan in Your Adult Years: Delving into the concept of faith and trust in God.
  • Using the Solas in Gospel Conversations: Understanding how these core beliefs shape the way we share the Gospel.
  • The Five Solas and Reformed Ecclesiology: Connecting the Solas to our understanding of the church.
  • Sola Gratia: Amazing Grace: Understanding God's Unmerited Favour: Celebrating the gift of God's grace.
  • Soli Deo Gloria: God's Glory vs. My Good?: Considering the tension between God working everything for his glory and our good.

In addition to these focused talks, the conference will also feature a panel discussion to further explore these important themes.

We believe that this conference will provide valuable insights, encouragement, and a renewed appreciation for the foundational truths of our faith. Join us as we explore the Five Solas and their enduring power to shape our lives!
