August 25 10:00 am - 12:00 pm  |  Northcross Church

826 East Coast Road, Oteha, Auckland, New Zealand

We are excited to announce that Alisa Childers (USA) will be sharing two seminars at our Sunday Service on 25 August.

This will not be one to miss! Come along, bring a friend, and your family to hear from Alisa.

10AM – Live your Truth
Live Your Truth (and other lies): How Popular Deceptions are Making us Anxious, Self- Obsessed, and Exhausted
Popular slogans like “live your truth,” “follow your heart,” “you are enough” “you are the boss of you” and “you’re perfect just as you are” flood our social media feeds. In many cases, even materials marketed as “Christian” promote these ideas. But are they biblical? In this talk, we’ll look at these cultural lies, demonstrate the bad thinking underneath them, and then turn to the Bible for a much better story.
Short Break – Potjie Feast for lunch and Fundraiser for Christmas in Lights
12:15ish – Is the Bible Sexist?
Does Christianity oppress women? Does the Bible teach that women are less valuable than men? In this talk, we will look at how Christianity has historically been liberating to women, and how the Bible elevates the status of women and teaches that women are made equal in value and worth to men, both being made in God’s image.

ABOUT ALISA: As a lifelong church-goer, follower of Jesus, and former CCM recording artist with the Dove award-winning group ZOEgirl, I experienced a period of profound doubt about my faith in my mid-thirties. I felt as though I had been tossed in a stormy ocean of uncertainty with no life jacket or lifeboat in sight. I didn’t know where to find answers to my questions, or if answers existed at all. Did I have to accept it all on some kind of blind faith?  I began to investigate my faith intellectually—I took seminary classes and read everything I could get my hands on. This began my  journey from  unreasoned doubt into a vibrant, rational, and informed faith.
