We value reading and learning from the Bible since it is the foundation of our faith. Its teaching never goes out of date because God and people have not changed. In the Old Testament we read of how God made the world and tried to establish a relationship with us, which we kept breaking until we were almost completely out of touch with him. The prophets looked forward to a time when God would do something new to bring us back to God. This special agent or Messiah would be identified with God Himself.

In the New Testament we read of the coming to earth of this rescuer, Jesus. We read of his life, his teachings and miracles, his death and resurrection, God who became a man. We read then of what his disciples did in spreading the message about Jesus as rescuer. Paul and others write letters to encourage the early Christians in their relationships with the risen Jesus and with one another.

Our home groups last an hour and include prayers at the end. Sometimes the sessions are grouped by theme and sometimes we study a book. The emphasis is not on academic study but on finding out what the Bible is saying to us about how we should run our personal and church lives.

House Groups begin again

House Groups resume in the week beginning Monday 6th February with a series of seven on the Creed. The passages will be drawn from various passages in chiefly the New Testament. Times and venues as per usual – look out for notice sheets and on the web site nearer the time.  All are welcome – it’s always good to welcome new faces – we have done every year so far. It is quite alright to sit and listen - there is no pressure to read or contribute. No previous knowledge is assumed or expected.
