Riverside Refresh Conference

The Holy Spirit was more than just the topic of today's conference. Far from Him being merely the object of our study, as we learned from God's Word together, He made us His objects, teaching us, filling us, giving us understanding, changing us, and equipping us.


It was a fantastic time of teaching and learning and fellowship, as visiting lecturer and preacher Dr Andrew McGowan, principal of Highland Theological College, led us in three addresses on:
1. The Holy Spirit and the Mind
2. The Holy Spirit and the New Birth
3. The Holy Spirit and Evangelism

Here is Andy doing his best to look like a dour Scot! He was usually more cheerful than this, I just have a knack of catching people at the worst moment...


A very diverse group from all round the state attended to hear Andrew speak. Represented were old and young, Pastors, Ministers, Elders and lay people, men and women, Presbyterians and others, Australians and foreign visitors. All agreed that we were mightily blessed with the Word of God opened to us in a very meaningful and helpful way.

During the day we shared refreshments and lunch together, sang to God's glory and prayed together.

Here is June and Andy enjoying their lunch...

When I get time I will add links to MP3s of Andy's talks.
