Welcome to Cabra Matters!
In this episode, we continue to discuss the practicalities of the Columbo Tactic. We surface personal experiences, stories, and reflections to learn from each other. Our prayer is that our conversation may edify and equip you to better reach your non-Christian friends and families.
Welcome to Cabra Matters! In this episode, we dive into chapters 6 and 7 of Tactics by Gregory Koukl. We discuss how to navigate heated conversations as a Christian. Whether you're new or a regular, we hope this podcast may assist you in reaching your friends and families.

Welcome to Cabra Matters.
In this episode, we are unpacking chapters 1 and 2 of Tactics by Gregory Koukl.

Join us as we share our thoughts and experiences of how the lost art of debating can help us better reach Cabramatta.
Welcome to season 2 of Cabra Matters!
In this episode, we introduce how Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions by Gregory Koukl will play a core part in Let's Go 21 - our evangelistic campaign. We invite you to participate in reading Tactics with us while we consider how we, as a church, can strategically and practically share Jesus with our friends and families. We hope that our thoughts, experiences, and discussion will help you to leave a stone in someone's shoe in 21.

This week we have a special edition on the COVID19 Roadmap for our church. We currently face 3 options ahead for our gatherings. Tune in as we visualise what each one looks like, and voice our questions and concerns behind each one.
-
Can you jump on to www.cabra.church/gathering and spend 5-10 minutes sharing your concerns and feedback? We'd like to hear your voice as we make some big decisions for what gathering will look like in the upcoming months.
-
If you're available, can you come to one of our "Town Hall" meetings? Our hope for these meetings is to have a dialogue to hear your questions and concerns regarding the 3 options ahead. It'll also be a place for us to brainstorm alternative solutions and hear your input. We want to be decisive yet collaborative in this season and so please use either of these 2 meetings as an opportunity to share your voice.
Details:
1 Sat 6th June 1:30-2:30pm.
2 Mon 8th June 8-9pm.
For security reasons, the meeting link and password will be shared via our congregation's Facebook page just prior to the meeting.

How can we handle differences and arguments better within ministry teams in light of this passage (1 Cor 1:10-17)? (27:25)
