Bible Reading
Ps 119 gives us a picture of a man who delights in the law of the Lord, and desires it. What will that person look like? We used Ps 119 as a basis for our reflection, as we compared and contrasted our own attitudes towards Bible reading, evident from the Fellowship Survey we did in Oct 2017.
This Advent season, we've prepared an Advent calendar to help prepare us for the birth of Jesus, in whom God's plans and purposes are fulfilled.
We may be familiar with the narrative of the Christmas story and the key players are not entirely foreign to us. We think that the wise men, Mary and Joseph, King Herod, angels, shepherds and the baby Jesus are all there is. But why are we focusing on mothers this advent? Here are 10 reasons why this series is important for us!
We started this series by reminding ourselves of the need to read, but to also read in obedient dependence. Scripture shows us God’s great cosmic plan for all time and as readers, we are called to read with the past, present and future in mind.
In this series, we’ve been looking at different tools for reading the Bible. Reading comes (relatively) easy if it's all about tips and techniques, but what do we do with what we’ve read?
We've all struggled through passages in the Bible, or have encountered those moments when we don't really know how to answer questions posed by our friends about the Bible. How ought we to read these passages?
Our bible reading and prayer life seem disconnected. What we read rarely translates and connects with what we feel and bring before God. Praying through the psalms brings together bible reading and prayer. It is a helpful technique that helps us do something more – meet God and know Him more.
What does Jesus mean when He says says repeatedly that all the Scriptures bear witness of him? In this post, we'll learn how to make sense of the Old Testament, by considering how even the Old Testament speaks of Jesus Christ.
This was a talk given at our Fellowship Weekend in January 2016 that focused on learning to read the Bible with the Bible's own big storyline in mind.
This marks the start of our "How We Should Read" series, we'll slowly look at some practical tools that we can use in our Bible Reading. But before we delve into the practicalities, we'll pause to consider once more our attitude as we approach reading.
Bible reading is about loving God. But is this for all Christians? How can this be? In the last blog post of this series, we'll spend some more thought on why we should read the Bible, and want to do so.
How can all Christians love God with all our minds? In this post, we'll explore what it means to love God with our minds, and as a result, make Him known.
