Fresh from the Word - Bible readings for 2018
The church family are using the IBRA Bible reading notes, Fresh from the Word once again this year. It is very appropriate that the theme for the year is leadership. As the church family begins the process of seeking new ministry and leadership for the church the Bible readings this year invite us to ask two key questions: What does the Bible imagine good leadership to be?
What are the qualities of a good leader?
These are very timely questions we put to scripture, to God, and to each other, this year.
Please contact us for a copy of the notes ... or follow the readings online by following this link
