Guard the Gospel

2 Timothy is Paul’s last recorded letter, written to his son in the faith just weeks before his own death and is one of the most straight forward and urgent of the New Testament letters and one of the most relevant for our day and generation.

In our new series of evening classes over zoom, our Principal, Pastor John Brand, will be opening up this challenging New Testament letter over 5 Tuesday evenings, beginning on Tuesday 9th November. The cost is just £45 and you can register for this course here.

Are You gripped By The Gospel?

There’s just one week to go until the first of our new evening classes – see more information here.

Each Tuesday evening, for this first series, Rev Kieran Banks of Dedridge Baptist Church, Livingston, will be examining what the gospel actually is?

Kieran, who is as gripped by the gospel as anyone we know, says, “What the gospel actually consists of seems to be as varied as the number of people we ask. Given that this can’t be so, the Gripped by the Gospel course takes us reflectively through the Bible to identify it anticipated in the Old Testament, enacted in the gospels, proclaimed by the apostles and, finally, witnessed to by ourselves. The course crystallises the gospel’s component parts and helps us think through our own attempts to better share it.”

I’ve been a Christian 40 years and never heard the gospel put this way!”

Evening Virtual Bible College

It’s now just two weeks until we start our new online evening classes. Each Tuesday evening during term time there will be two 50 minute lectures with a short break in between. Registration is required but very simple.

For the first series, Rev Kieran Banks, Pastor of Dedridge Baptist Church in Livingston is taking as his subject something we know him to be really passionate about: Gripped by the Gospel.

What the gospel actually consists of seems to be as varied as the number of people we ask. Given that this can’t be so, the Gripped by the Gospel course takes us reflectively through the Bible to identify it anticipated in the Old Testament, enacted in the gospels, proclaimed by the apostles and, finally, witnessed to by ourselves. The course crystallises the gospel’s component
parts and helps us think through our own attempts to better share it.

Please Pray!

We would value your prayers this afternoon (Monday 13th) for the College Board of Directors as they meet for their quarterly meeting. We are grateful to God for these Christian leaders who give of their time, experience and wisdom to help guide and oversee the work of the College.

Tomorrow, the College staff meet – in person for the first time in 18 months! – and would also appreciate prayer as we prepare for the start of the new session in two weeks’ time.

Acts

The growth and expansion of the early church as recorded in the book of Acts is nothing less than spectacular. In the space of little more than 30 years the church grew from 120 frightened believers in Jerusalem to tens of thousands of them all over the known world. What were the secrets of their success and what can we learn from them today? Join us for this exciting journey of discovery.
