Everyday struggles tackled in a 6 week series

2008-08-05T22:31:00.000-07:00

Suicide, anger, depression, greed: they’re not the topics that many people like to talk about, but figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed that around 7 Australians committed suicide each day in 2007, while AAMI’s 2007 road safety index said that one quarter of Australian drivers have been identified as being “reckless and aggressive”.

Associate Pastor at Riverlands Christian Church Penrith, Adam White, had this to say about the upcoming 6 week series which will tackle such issues: “We’ll be covering these everyday struggles that many Christians face, but feel they can’t talk about with others.

“For some people, they might not see their anger or greed as a problem, whereas others might feel too ashamed to talk about, and for this reason, we’re going to discuss one of these topics each week from a biblical perspective and give keys on how to deal with it,” he said.

The series will commence on August 17 at Riverlands Christian Church Penrith, and be presented at the 6pm evening service. Speakers include:

17 August: Suicide. Speaker: Rachel White

24 August: Depression. Speaker: Rachel White

31 August: Anger. Speaker: Adam White

7 September: Vanity. Speaker: Graham Blok

14 September: Greed. Speakers: David Patterson and Jeff Brislane

21 September: Slothfulness. Speaker: Eric Roggeveen
