Ready... set...

Our little bible study will begin on Monday 2nd April starting with James.  For details about the passages and how to join in have a little browse through the 'Reading Plan' and 'Contribute' tabs along the top of the blog post.

As ever feel free to comment/make suggestions/ask questions about how it's going to work.  Also this is an open thing so by all means invite who you like to join in the conversation.  Please don't rely on facebook updates to tell you when a new post is up, probably the most reliable way to keep track is to join by using the button on the right hand side.

Remember too that this is not about reading a blog but about reading the bible.  Pray that God may use something like this to deepen our relationship with Him and each other as we read, study and discuss together.

God bless.

Getting going

Perhaps we don't talk about Jesus enough or discuss the impact of being His disciple on our lives.  If you feel this is the case in your world or you would simply like to take part in a biblical discussion then this blog could be of use to you.

The plan is to read through a book of the Bible together discussing the meaning and application of each passage as we go using the 'comments' section; a kind of on-line Bible study if you like. It would obviously be better to meet together and work through it in person but that isn't always possible and so I hope this blog will be a useful alternative for those keen to get into the word.

This is something new for myself and probably a few others.  It could potentially be very useful although it will be of greatest worth if people are brave enough to comment and discuss.  This means that we must be careful in our discussion and ensure our conversations are 'full of grace, seasoned with salt' (Colossians 4:6) so as not to put contributors off and to enable us to learn from one another.

So... are you up for it?  Comment below to see if there is a want for this and/or to make suggestions on how we could make it work.
