WORD ALIVE

Bible Study with a difference

There are groups meeting from time to time journeying through the pages of the Bible together. Word Alive is not just about reading the Bible, but ...

entering into the events described, as if you were there
reading the Word of God with the Holy Spirit as your teacher
learning together by asking questions and sharing insights with one another
hearing God speak to you personally

The Full Bible Course uses 'The Way of the Spirit' materials which include a reading plan, work book with questions, a guide book giving historical and contextual understanding and most importantly, weekly teaching tapes/CDs lasting 20 minutes - summarising and bringing out the main theme of that week's readings.

The course was the work of John McKay (1941-2001) - a highly educated and Spirit-filled Bible teacher from Kingdom Faith Ministries who had a passion to see Christians today discover the livingness of the Bible, and to gain an understanding of the whole Bible story.

The course covers the whole Bible and is divided up into 4 parts, each centred around one of the four gospels and adopting its theme:

The Call and the Cross - Mark - Jesus as Priest
Times of Refreshing - Matthew - Jesus as King
Heirs of the Prophets - Luke - Jesus as Prophet
My Lord and my God - John - Jesus as Lord

Each part of the course is divided up into 24 weeks. This means it is possible to complete the whole course in 2 years, but it can be done at a much slower pace or in seasons, whatever is best for the group members.

If you are interested in taking part or starting a group, please speak to Maggie Mowle or Janet Bright.
