What we believe is the ground upon
which we live our lives. That's why it's so important to get a good
grounding in what the Bible teaches. As we do this, our lives and faith becomes
increasing stable, enduring and strong. That being said, why not join
many others in deeply exploring what the Bible teaches about God,
creation, humanity, Jesus Christ and salvation?
We've launched the Grounded course to help you do just that. The demands of the course are as follows:
1) attending four Monday nights in total (the dates for the next Grounded course will follow soon)
2)
listening to, over a period of 3 months, and in your own time, to 21 powerful talks (see mp3 and word doc downloads below)
3) being tested on your understanding of the specific talks (from 4-6 talks each time) for the first 30 minutes of each of the four nights
Each night will start with a test, but will culminate in question-led conversations on the subject at hand. As you do this course we hope it will greatly deepen your insight into the Christian faith - it will even earn you a well-deserved Grounded Certificate (assuming you sufficiently understand the contents of Eaton's messages).Click here for a download which summarizes the introductory night:

Michael Eaton's talks
We regard Michael Eaton as one of the world's best Bible teachers. Decades of preaching and church leadership experience in a diversity of cultures, as well as his numerous books (including commentary on all 66 books of the Bible) attest to the quality of his gift. As a church we've already benefited greatly from his teaching. In 2008 Eaton did 25 powerful talks in a series called 'The Whole Counsel of God, part 1' in Johannesburg at Cornerstone Church. We've excluded the first four talks since they serve as an extended introduction. We felt it best to dive right into the body of his teachings. That is why we start with session 5. Also note that each mp3 is compressed to about 3-4 MB, so it downloads relatively quickly.
