Bible Overview

by with No Comment AnnouncementsNews

Here is a great way to get to know every book of the Bible, and see how it contributes to the storyline of the Bible as a whole. Over 30 Monday evenings throughout the College year we will guide you through every book, helping you to see its main theme, it’s key verse(s) and its structure. We will also set each individual book in the unfolding revelation of God’s plan and purpose.

Held over zoom, you don’t even need to leave home to benefit from this course! And because all sessions are recorded, if the live teaching time doesn’t suit you, registered students can access and watch them at a convenient time of their own choosing.

The course is taught by one of EBC’s new Adjunct Lecturers, Grant Earley

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 three assignments for marking and gaining EBC study credits

The course starts on Monday 30th September 2024 and runs from 7.00 – 9.00pm each Monday evening during College term time. Specific dates will be provided.

The cost is:

  • auditing option: £150 per term (10 sessions @ £15 per night); £400 for the whole year if paid in advance
  • assessments option: £200 per term (10 sessions @ £20 per night); £550 for the whole year if paid in advance

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

Romans

While, of course, “All Scripture is profitable” (2 Timothy 3:16), some Scripture is undoubtedly more profitable than other parts, and there can be little doubt that the Letter to the Romans is among the most profitable of all.

This 10 week evening class would make a great Bible study session which would hugely benefit anyone.

Objectives:

This module is intended to open up one of the most important individual books of the Bible to the student, showing how it brings together so many of the Bible’s greatest themes, and to do so in a way that will increase the student’s knowledge and appreciation of biblical truth and further equip them in their understanding and effective communication of the good news of the gospel.

Evangelism That Understands Today’s Culture

by with No Comment AnnouncementsEvangelismNews

The next session in our online series on Evangelism is on Wednesday 22nd May and runs from 11.00am – 1.00pm on zoom. You can register for just this one session or for others in the series. Registration is essential, as is payment in advance, and you can sign up here. The cost is £20 per session.

Martin Povey will be addressing the subject of Evangelism That Understands Today’s Culture.

Martin became a Christian aged eight but was up and down in his faith for many years. In his early 20s he started to grasp God’s awesome holiness and enormous grace in Jesus and was compelled to share the Gospel! He completed an MA in Evangelism Studies before spending nine years with UCCF and Bishop Hannington Church. Martin now travels throughout the UK with two aims: to equip Christians to communicate and defend the Gospel naturally; and to help those who don’t yet know Jesus hear the life-transforming Good News. He speaks at church, university, and FE college mission weeks/events and loves interacting with people’s objections to Christianity – be it at a Café Night or over a burger at McDonald’s! He’s married to his lovely Essex wife Claire and have two kids
