The YOBL team sit around, drink coffee, eat cake whilst discussion and attempting to answer some of the questions that have arisen during the first few weeks of YOBL.

+John reminds us of the "holy ones" and that we are not individual in our walk with Jesus. We are part of a community that supports, finds support, encourages each other to run the race of faith to the finish line.

Laura shows us how the Bible is both an ancient text but also shows a continuing narrative of God's wrestling, love for and engaging with His people, all leading to the one that fulfils the story, Jesus.

Owen explores the historical development of the Bible, showing how we can trust it, how we can see the consistency throughout history in it's transportation through Hebrew, Greek, Latin and modern culture.

Owen explores the Authority of the Bible through the lens of Covenant instead of Contract; the authority of the Bible through the lens of the Person of Jesus and His authority.

Owen explores what the Bible is, how we should approach it, and the traps and pitfalls that come with attempting to grasp an ancient text in the 21st Century. We start at Genesis 1, looking at the wider context the Hebrews found themselves within and how we can easily miss the point of this incredible text.

In the second of this term's Vision Sundays, Rich expresses the need to courageous in taking the next step in our journey as a church as well as within our own lives.

Rich encourages us to "Keep Going" in part 1 of this years vision talk. We are given an outline and glimpse of what the next term and year will entail in our community as we seek to spend a year engaging with & getting to grips with the bible in a deeper way. A year of biblical literacy starts here!
