Restored to Live
Welcome to Teachers Talking for 2023. As the new year opens the door to new opportunities, let us express our deep gratitude to the Lord for His indwelling presence and for the students He has entrusted to our care. For some, you are commencing your teaching vocation, for others, you are continuing in your current schools.
We know that teachers are dedicated to their God‑given calling and, in the midst of the daily routines and demands of teaching, Christian teachers can struggle with what it means to express the deeper purpose of education in practice. Our aim is to bless, inform and encourage teachers in their tasks. This year, the theme for The Excellence Centre is Hope with Grace, for the hope we offer to students is anchored in the grace of God, found in our risen Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
To this end, during Term 1, the Teachers Talking offerings will focus on the theme Restored to Live for it is only in embracing Christ and His Gospel work, can our students experience resurrection living; the restoration of what it means to be truly human. We trust these talks will be a valuable resource for you, as you assist your students to anchor their lives in the amazing grace of God. May our classes and school communities be the rich soil where we, as teachers, sow the seeds that will help our students explore and discover that which was lost but is now found.
“And if the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.” (Romans 8: 11)
