Conference Theme Returning to God’s Design for Gender, Sexuality, Relationships, and Marriage Primary Texts: Genesis 1:26–28; Genesis 2:18–25 Opening Illustration (5 Minutes) A man buys a complex machine that comes with a manual from the manufacturer. Instead of reading the manual, he rearranges the parts and uses it however he wishes. Eventually the machine breaks down. He wonders why it no longer works. The answer is simple: the problem was never the design. The problem was ignoring the designer. The same has happened in our world. God designed: humanity as male and female sexuality relationships marriage Yet modern culture attempts to redefine all of them. The result is confusion about identity, sexuality, and family life. The solution is not inventing new ideas. The solution is returning to the Designer’s instructions —the Word of God. SERMON 1 God’s Design for Gender and Sexuality Primary Text: Genesis 1:27 Purpose: To show that gender and sexuality origi...

A Turning Point in Global Anglicanism Why the Abuja Gathering Matters Written by Kenneth Malenge  A movement of conservative Anglicans met in Nigeria this week to elect their own “first among equals,” a development that directly challenges the incoming archbishop of Canterbury. The gathering took place in Abuja, where leaders connected to the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) formally organized what they are calling the Global Anglican Communion . This event may appear, at first glance, to be an internal Anglican dispute. It is not. It represents a significant moment in the ongoing struggle within global Christianity over the authority of Scripture and the moral direction of the church. What GAFCON Is The Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) began in 2008 in Jerusalem during a period of deep tension within the Anglican world. Many Anglican churches, particularly in Africa, Asia, and the Global South, had become increasingly concerned about doctrinal shifts wit...

Summary of your reading notes. The structure follows the flow of the book (Preface → Introduction → Chapters)... Summary of Prioritizing Missions in the Church Authors: Aaron Menikoff and Harshit Singh Preface: Four Principles of Church-Centered Missions The preface introduces four foundational principles that explain why missions must be centered on the local church. 1. Christianity Is Church-Shaped Christianity naturally forms believers into a community. The church functions as a family united through faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:11–22 describes the church as one new people in Christ. 1 Timothy 3:15 calls the church the “household of God.” The apostles commonly refer to believers as brothers and sisters , emphasizing the familial nature of the church. Thus, the Christian life is not individualistic but lived within the covenant community of the church. 2. Churches Are the Means and the Ends of Missions Missions must be shaped by the church because the Great C...

The Danger of Biblical Criticism BY KENNETH IGADO MALENGE  (A Confessional and Doctrinal Evaluation of Source Criticism, Higher Criticism, and the Assault on Inspiration) Abstract This paper argues that modern biblical criticism—specifically New Testament source criticism and Old Testament higher criticism—is fundamentally incompatible with the biblical, confessional, and theological doctrine of Holy Scripture. By examining Scripture’s own testimony concerning inspiration, preservation, authorship, and authority, and by aligning these doctrines explicitly with the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689), this study demonstrates that biblical criticism is not a neutral academic tool but a doctrinal system that undermines revelation. Particular attention is given to the denial of verbal–plenary inspiration, the erosion of providential preservation, the rejection of Mosaic and apostolic authorship, and the theological consequences of Ma...
