The atonement is the crucial doctrine of the faith.  Unless we are right here it matters little, or so it seems to me, what we are like elsewhere

Recently, Rev Andy Longwe, a member of Edinburgh Bible College’s Board of Trustee, preached a powerful and timely sermon on Psalm 46 at College devotions. Since it is deserving of a much wider audience, with Andy’s permission, I commend the message to you. Andy is a Minister of the Free Church of Scotland and recently moved to London to become minister of their London City Presbyterian Church congregation.

EBC Principal, Pastor John Brand, writes, “This morning I had the great joy and privilege of leading the first in a series of seminars on preaching for this group of men who hail from the north of Scotland, the south of England and several places in between. What a delight!” If you would be interested in joining this monthly online seminar, let us know.

At the quarterly meeting of our Board of Directors, today, followed by the AGM, we were delighted to welcome a new Board member, Dr Adele Pilkington.

Adele is a Consultant Occupational Physician who has worked across the UK, including mission and humanitarian aid organisations. For 17 years she was Executive Editor of the remote learning MSc programme for Occupational Medicine at Manchester University. Her part-time theology studies reflected mission interest and research into mental health and Christian identity. She is a voluntary drugs educator for Hope UK and pro-life groups, part of the PRIME tutor network, anti-trafficking groups and a Board of Reference member for the Scottish Council of Human Bioethics.

We are so grateful to Adele and all of our Board members who give of their time and experience so freely to support and advance the work of the College. You can find out who is on the Board here.

The faithful and passionate preaching and teaching of Scripture is at the heart of everything the EBC student is trained for.

In this 18 week course, two hours per week, EBC’s Principal, Pastor John Brand, will guide you through the process of preparing and preaching or teaching a message based on a passage of Scripture. Even with more than 40 years’ experience of preaching and many years of training preachers, he can’t make anyone a preacher, but we can help you develop a gift that God has given you.

The fourth gospel is the subject of a series of nine one-hour classes, starting in mid-January, we will study the fourth gospel. Dealing briefly with introductory issues of authorship, date, recipients and purpose, and identifying the structure and themes of John’s Gospel, the majority of the course is spent in detailed expositions of selected passages from John’s Gospel with an emphasis on developing exegetical skills and the ability to move from text to biblical talk or sermon.
