Lenses to help you see Scripture more clearly

Cherthala A KST SHORT COURSE

Course Introduction

http://fhaloanmichigan.org/free-mshda-report-com/ Christians generally believe that the Bible is an important resource for growing in faith. But, if we’re honest, we sometimes struggle with it.

• Perhaps you find reading the Bible difficult or dull.
• Maybe you struggle with confidence or aren’t sure you know how to read it properly.
• Maybe you find God in some parts of the Bible but not all of it?
• Maybe you don’t expect to learn anything from the Bible at all?

Misoprostol generic sale This short course, ideal for small groups, is a bit like a scriptural optician’s appointment. Over a series of six weeks you will have the chance to look at various passages of the Bible through a variety ‘lenses’, to see if they help you understand things better. The sessions will help you to recognise things like the subject, audience, context, genre, and other literary aspects of a text and appreciate how these can shape the meaning and deepen what you can learn.

La Celle-Saint-Cloud If you are up for hearing some interesting ideas and engaging in some rich discussions about the Bible then sign up and see how these lenses can help you see scripture more clearly.

Who Is This Course For

This course is for any Christians who want to go deeper in their understanding of the Bible. It’s suitable for new believers and those who have been Christians a long time. It’s best taken in a group, as there are elements to continue practising together afterwards. We particularly recommend it for church small groups.

“This course was rich, thought provoking, and immediately applicable. The concept of ‘lenses’ through which to look at the Bible was both simple and profound. The style was relaxed, engaging, challenging and fun. I have no hesitation recommending the course for small groups, churches and leaders”.
