Ebenezer Machen - Bible Study
Our church weekly bible study meeting is ready for the new season....!
You can find a rota that you can download from this page. However, you should check back here from time to time to see if there are any changes to the running order!! Please have a quick check to make sure there are no glaring errors or slots you can't do etc.
General Points
When the bible study comes to your home you have the opportunity to lead it if you feel you would like to. There is absolutely no compulsion.
If you do not want to lead or are too busy on that given week please let me know and I will arrange for someone else to lead it in your home (or swap the venue). Jon Bilton has not been allocated a particular slot on the schedule - the reason for this is that he can fill in if you're too busy to lead, or don't feel you want to lead - so don't be afraid to ask!! Even if he is unable to do it, there will be someone who can - so please don't feel under pressure. It is supposed to be a blessing :-)
Bible Study Subject
The idea of our Bible Study is that you lead on something that you have learned recently, or something that you have found particularly helpful that you have read or heard.
Ideally it should be something fresh to you - so that you can share your excitement with everyone who comes along. It is not supposed to be a deep theological study and you should not feel under pressure to spend hours and hours preparing.
Examples of things you might like to share:
- A passage that you have read from your daily reading that has really helped you.
- A message that you have heard recently that has challenged you.
- Something from the Sunday services that has helped you or made you think.
- A theme that the Lord has laid on your heart that you feel you want to share.
- A podcast/video or other recorded message that you feel will bless people.
The subject you choose (and the style you choose to present it) is entirely up to you. Pray and ask God to speak to you and through you - and He will. Remember John 10:27....
Please email me for any help or advice. I won't presume to tell you what to do but I am happy to chat through any ideas you have and give you suggestions if you want them...
