MAF conference

This weekend the MAF staff from Cairns and Mareeba got together for a mini conference. It was good to talk with a few people whom I'd only met in passing before (or not at all).

Our speaker was Matt Hannan, who shared a number of lessons we can learn from the book of Numbers (based on 1 Cor. 10:1-6 - that the Israelites' faults are warnings for us). In summary, we can be guilty of:
- Complaining about our circumstances (Num. 11)
- Criticising other people (Num. 12)
- Contempt towards God (Num. 14)
- Conspiracy (Num. 16)
- Controlling behaviour (Num. 20)

Challenging stuff, but refreshing to hear someone teaching from the Bible!
