A six session, Bible-centred course for small groups – from Biblical Counselling UK and New Growth Press.
Whether we are new Christians or mature, we all have areas of our lives which need transforming. Some of us tend towards anger or impatience, others towards jealousy or discontent. Some of us struggle with addictions and, in different ways, all of us still harbour pride in our hearts. God is not planning on leaving us this way!
As Philippians reminds us, God is going to bring to completion the good work he has already begun in us (Phil 1:6). But how does this process of change work?
Based on the “three trees” model from CCEF, Real Change is a course for anyone who wants to find out how the gospel changes us from the inside out – anyone who wants to take a look at what is going on in their heart and grow with God’s help to see Real Change.
The course is available in two formats – one for adults, and another for young people aged 15-19+.
“Excellent short course for applying the truth of the Bible to the struggles of everyday life”

“Encouraging, manageable, and thoroughly biblical exploration of spiritual growth”
