Discussion for 1st February

Image
Instead of set verses, this Monday's Discussion is on a  pastoral theme: living with long-term/chronic illness or disability. It will be led by Francis Elliot-Wright. Many people, more than we might realise, live with physical pain, discomfort and limitations. Can the Bible help people in this situation? Which verses do you think could be helpful for people who are living with chronic or long-term illness, or with a physical disability?   Instead of having set verses, you are invited to bring to the discussion verses that you consider to be of benefit to people whose lives are lived with physical limitation, pain or discomfort.  You might also want to think about verses and approaches that are unhelpful for people living with long term illness or disability.  The focus of this discussion will be on living with illness or disability, not healing.  Join the Zoom meeting with this link: https://zoom.us/j/5396749825?pwd=R0JvcmZOL1NnWWp1RnlZbFVXK0pJQT09 The Zoom...

Discussion for Monday 25th January

  This Monday's discussion is led by Judith Fantozzi. She writes: (ZOOM LINK BELOW) "Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?" John 10, verse 34 In the Bible, there are little verses, or part verses that 'hide' in the text. Then they suddenly pop out and hit you between the eyes, as it were. Such is John 10, verse 34. What can we understand from this? Are we 'gods' such as the ones in Greek Mythology? Or are we real, actual 'gods'? What is a god? What did Jesus mean/understand by this? Background reading - Psalm 82. John 10, verses 22 - 39 Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/97587717478... Meeting ID: 975 8771 7478 Passcode: 539936
