The Bible Course Daily Reading: As part of the Bible course we are encouraging everyone to pick up their Bibles and read them on a daily basis. Read each passage through carefully. Then consider: What did this passage mean in its context? Now what does this passage mean for my life today? Pray it through, asking God to help you live this truth.

Bishop’s Memory Verse: Making Disciples – 2 Timothy 3:16 Bishop Julian as part of the Diocesan year of discipleship is encouraging us to develop the spiritual discipline of learning Bible verses by heart, this is a great thing to do and so we would like to encourage you to meditate on and memorise this verse this month. ‘All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.’ |
