St John’s — Lent Courses

Meeting with God

Meeting God is an aspect of life at St. John’s which I believe is crucial for all of us in 2008. These study series have been written in the hope that we would encounter God together. The aim of the studies is to provide us with a framework for reading through the biblical narratives and learning from the lives of the main characters.

Engaging with Scripture

Each week there is a section of scripture to read. Please take time to do this reading, as it is important to engage with the texts themselves rather than our memory of the stories. You may find that some of the questions don’t connect with you or you may think of better questions to discuss! That’s fine, please feel free to use these guides in a flexible way – they are guides and not straight jackets.

Making the Connection

My hope is that these studies will provide an opportunity to learn the history of the Bible, be inspired by the characters and make connection with our daily lives. It is important to make space for everyone to discuss and pray about the ordinary issues of life that are touched on by these books.

The Accompanying Sermon Series

The sermons that complement this study series will be available on the Sermon Audio Page or you can listen to them live at St John’s, see our Service Calendar for more information.
