IN FOCUS - More FREE Bible Reading Courses |
|
Our very successful Learn to Read and Understand the Bible courses have been run in local
venues in Manchester for the past 4 years. The main course is a 6-week overview of the
whole Bible. Many people have enjoyed the course and found it helpful, so much in fact
that they've wanted to learn more. We have run many follow-on courses in the same local
venues, in the same relaxed, no-pressure style as the main course, and for the same
price - that is completely FREE!
The follow on courses are essentially a more in depth look at individual books or themes
in the Bible, all the topics we've covered have been suggested by the students. So far
we've looked at Genesis, Exodus, Revelation, Acts, Matthew's Gospel, Prophesy in the
New Testament, Daniel, The last week in Jesus Life, Little letters (An assortment of
some of the shorter letters from the new testament).
The course is currently running on Tuesday evenings Chorlton Adult Education Centre
(see What's on section) if you'd like to know more
just get in touch...

THOUGHT - "A Different Kind of Leader" |
|
The country is in the middle of an election campaign in which each political party
and its leader makes promises of actions they will take if they win. William Hague
and the Conservatives promise tax cuts whilst Tony Blair and the Labour party promise
a stable economy. Each party assures us that it is their policies, which will solve
problems in the NHS, in education, in the environment and so on. However the public
seems unimpressed. There is growing evidence that many people are disenchanted with
politics and there has been a large fall in the number of those going to the polling
stations. Many members of the public believe it won't make much difference who's in
government.
But what if there was a leader who could deliver on all his promises, a leader who
could solve all the problems not only in England but the world?
What if there was a leader who could dramatically improve your life, a leader who
wants to know you, not for his own political agenda but because he cares?
What if there was a leader who had no corruption in him, who would (and already has)
sacrifice his own life to improve yours?
Surely if there was such a leader you would vote for him. Well there is and his name
is Jesus. Jesus Christ the Son of God is coming back to the earth to set up and rule
over the Kingdom of God. Vote for him with your feet... follow him.
Look out for our forthcoming election campaign entitled "A Different Kind Of Leader",
also keep an eye on our web site
(www.OTChristadelphians.org.uk) during the election.
