EBC’s Chairman on ITN News

Last night, Professor Steve Taylor, Chairman of EBC’s Board of Directors, featured in an ITN news report on work that he and his team at Liverpool University have been doing on dinosaur remains.  Click on image to play video.

On the significance of this research work, Steve says, ‘This is another example of where science (in this case palaeontology) confirms the Bible. If these dinosaurs lived and died millions of years ago, there could not be any of their collagen left, but the results clearly show the presence of original collagen. The explanation is that the catastrophe which suddenly killed and rapidly buried these huge creatures was the worldwide Flood spoken of in the Bible (Genesis) to which the Lord Jesus also referred in the Gospels.’

Prayer and Praise

The second of our new monthly Prayer and Praise powerpoints, with a few pointers to inform you in your praying for the work of the College, is now available (click here).  If you could use this yourself or even encourage your church fellowship to take 5 minutes a month in their Sunday or midweek meeting to pray for us we would be enormously grateful.  If you would like to receive the new powerpoint each month, just drop us an email and we will be happy to oblige.  Thank you and the Lord bless you.

There’ still time – but only just!

There’s still time to sign up for one of our new modules which start this week – even Revelation which begins this evening.  You can find more information here:

Revelation

In general, people have one of two opposite and extreme approaches to Revelation – they either become obsessed and preoccupied with it or they avoid it as much as they possibly can; they either become caught up with, and even dogmatic, about the interpretation of the symbolic nitty-gritty and detail, or they find the whole thing so perplexing and confusing that they simply keep away.

In this module we will work our way through this last book of the Bible, making sense of its complex structure and contents, but do so in a way that will be edifying and spiritually profitable.

We will help you become familiar with the teaching and truths of Revelation and have an understanding of its nature and structure. You will gain a real appreciation of the assuring message of apocalyptic literature and of God’s sovereignty, especially in times of testing and trial and you will be equipped to interpret and apply Revelation in a hermeneutically correct and consistent way.

The course will be taught virtually over zoom n ten Monday evenings from 7.00 – 9.00pm, starting on Monday 13th January.

There are two ways to get involved:

  • You can audit the course – simply taking part, enjoying the teaching and online fellowship, and benefitting from lots of notes and materials
  • you can submit assessments – completing an assignment for marking and gaining EBC study credits

The cost is:

  • auditing option: £140 (20 hours of teaching @ £10 per hour)
  • assessments option: £200 (20 hours @ £10 per hour)

Please note that fees must be paid in advance. Registration is essential and can be done here.
