Newsletter - October November 1998   IN FOCUS - "Learn to Read and Understand the Bible" Course This course has been developed by the members at Old Trafford Christadelphian Church. They are ordinary people; mums & dads, engineers, teachers, students, builders, nurses, pensioners and teenagers, who read the Bible regularly feeling the importance and relevance of God's message for them. For Centuries some Churches have denied 'their' people access and inclusion to the spiritual life of the Word of God. This course has one aim, to give your Bible back to you! You'll never be asked for a penny, you'll never be ‘converted' or pressured and if it's not for you can just leave. You'll learn about prophecy and archaeology. Find out how to use cross-references and concordances. Plus much more. Relax and enjoy learning about God in a friendly environment.

He left home and wasted all his money on prostitutes and wild living. He ended up with nothing. He was so hungry he had to resort to eating pig food! Eventually he decided that he had to go back home and work for his Father in order to pay off the huge debts that he had accumulated. But his Father wouldn't hear of it. He was so pleased to have his son back that he bathed him, gave him some new clothes and threw a huge party to celebrate his return. What a wonderful Father he was! Sometimes, we all feel a bit like a lost son, don't we. We have so many good things in our lives and yet we waste them and misuse them, and end up losing our way. Sometimes, it can be very hard when you stop and look at your life for a moment, and wonder how on earth you came to be where you are. But, just like the Father in story Jesus told us, God is always waiting for us to get back in touch with Him, even if we think we're the last person he wants to hear from! No matter what we may have done in our pasts, we all have the hope of a better future if we will turn to God and let Him help us put our lives back on course.
