Bible Study

The Bible is a collection of different books written by different authors at different times. To understand it one must be able to know the context in which a particular book is written.

Understanding the culture and the historical background of the people during the time of their writing will serve very useful in understanding the Bible. One must also pay particular attention to the literary forms employed by the authors. The more we know about them the more we could benefit from the Bible.

One thing that we should always bear in mind, the Bible exists for a very long time and has been consistently a best seller over those times. This is so because when we read the bible we encounter God. It is a personal encounter which leads to a personal relationship. Studying the Bible enriches faith and relationship with God.

A bible guide will prove very helpful and studying the bible and if done in a group the more that it will be fulfilling. When two or more persons study the bible God is in their midst.

It's a baby Girl???

I heard it's a baby girl. Is it?

Well done Jo and Jess. My Congratulations.

Jo and Jess had been very active in the group until they migrated to US. Jo was about 6 months pregnant then. It was indeed a tear-flooding moments for everyone.

Being united through genuine love, friendship and prayer is sharing in the divine life of the Triune God. Hence when it's time to part, it's like a quasi breaking away from God. It hurts a bit.

Good luck to the new chapter in your life.

Filipino Christian Community in Brighton

For three years now a group of Filipinos in Brighton UK meets every Friday to study the Bible. Using a 'study guide' from a Local Baptist Church they share their day to day experiences in the group and then discuss among themselves if how could they find meaning from those experiences by relating them to the Word of God.

After sharing the Word of God, comes a spiritually nourishing table fellowship. At this special moment members of the group take advantage of this opportunity to chat socially with each other - a very relaxing, nourishing, and unwinding moment.

Each meeting is always formally opened and concluded with a prayer. Members take turn in hosting the prayer meeting and senior members take take turn in leading the prayer meeting.

Together members experience a holistic growth, i.e through the prayer meeting they are able to nourish their body, mind and spirit.
