LIVING WATERS

DISCIPLESHIP COURSES

LIVING WATERS is based on the biblical truth that men and women are made in the image of God, and that image is still at the core of our being. However, it has been overlaid with the sinful effects of the fall, deficiencies in the ways we have been nurtured, other wounding to our lives and reactive decisions we have made. These have messed up our ability to relate to others maturely, and to have a wholesome, Godly sexuality.

The aim of Living Waters is to call forth the true masculine or feminine, the true image of God in each one of us. This in turn, enables us to put off the false ways we have learned to relate to others and to find God's clarity in our confusing and sinful sexuality and patterns of relating to others.
