just10

This autumn West Bromwich Network Church gets back to basics!

In the world we live, most people have heard of the Ten Commandments, God’s basic instructions for our lives that, when followed, help us live in freedom every day. These core principles are designed to equip and guide us through life, keeping us on the right path, and helping us navigate through the tough times. But are they really relevant to us today?

This autumn West Bromwich Network Church is joining with thousands of churches across the UK to present the Ten Commandments as you’ve never heard them before.

Unlike the do's and don'ts most people imagine when quizzed about the Maker's Instructions, the message is to be both a challenge and an encouragement. Thou shalt not steal is entitled How to prosper with a clear conscience and Thou shalt not commit adultery is unpacked as How to Affair-Proof your Relationships.

Inspirational speaker J.John, the founder of just10, believes that "the Ten Commandments - God's top 10 - are not obsolete, they are absolute," and of a recent series, J.John commented, "I have been enormously humbled at the way the series has helped people to re-assess, re-focus their priorities and in many cases, restart their lives."

The realisation that society shows many alarming signs of having turned its back on God gave J.John the desire to reach out to people in a new and engaging way. This autumn thousands of people from all across the UK will all have the opportunity to hear these life changing truths about ourselves and about the society we live in today.

Living in the 21st century has many challenges and not many answers. Over ten weeks we will be looking at the Ten Commandments and applying them to daily life. Rather than being an irrelevant set of rules West Bromwich Network Church will present the commandments as an essential guide to modern life.

The 10-week event, is being held at The Public and begins on Wednesday 8th September to Wednesday 10th November.

It is open to everyone, starting at 7:30pm until 9pm.

We have hired a 249 seater theatre right in the centre of West Brom so there is plenty of space. Get in touch with us if you would like to come.

We are using the theatre in The Public so that it is a non-threatening environment for non-christians and all denominations. We also want to keep this event free to come to. Therefore, we are looking for 100 people who want to support the just10 series in The Public by donating £10. This money will help us to cover the costs of running this series. If you do donate £10, attend all 10 sessions and bring a non-christian friend with you, then this works out at only 50p a session each!
