Event Description
Bible@10:30 is a weekly profitable Bible study to deepen our love for God and equip us to serve others. Our vision is to delight in God’s Word and live out Christ!
After completing the study of 2 Samuel, Bible@10:30 moves to studying a New Testament book, this time the book of Ephesians, using another guidebook from the Good Books Company, UK, entitled Ephesians – God’s Big Plan for Christ’s New People”.
Many Christians view the Christian faith primarily in terms of individual or small-group activities; faith is a personal and a private matter. At best, church is something we do out of convenience, and at worst, it distorts what it means to be Christian. “Spiritual” experiences and beliefs are the important thing, but the concrete, gritty reality of living together as Christ’s people is just an optional extra. Paul, however, shows us a radically different view of church in his letter to the Ephesians. Not only is the church of Christ not an inconvenient extra, it is the display of God’s wisdom to the universe! The church is God’s handiwork, made up of people from every kind of background, living under the gracious rule of Christ himself. As part of the church, we are hand-selected by God through Christ so that, by being a new kind of community, we will show the world the mystery of God’s electing love. In short, Christianity is far more corporate and public than we might expect. We are redeemed individually, but we are placed in a family. Living out the Christian life means living together with others who love the same Lord. It means actively participating in the church, for the church is God’s only plan to raise us to full maturity in Jesus Christ. The ten sessions in this Good Book guide will help us, as groups or individuals, to discover from Paul’s letter the richness of God’s grace in his church, and to grow as part of the body of Christ.
We meet Sundays from 10:30 am to 11:30 am in church, usually in the Reboulet room in the French Church. Any changes in venue will be announced ahead of the session. Come join us – anytime! And even if you cannot make it every single Sunday, you will still benefit from the study and enjoy the group.
