My Church is doing this life changing thing at the moment. It is called reading the Bible! (crazy right?!) and not only that but Reading the Bible Together! (Hence RBT). God is transforming our church into something that was unrecognisable when I first came back from university as they started it then. It really is very exciting stuff.
Basically the premise is we have a set book(s) that we are supposed to read each month and once a month we have several different meetings at different times for different people (you go to the one that is most convenient for you to attend) and we talk about what God had shown us through the book(s). To give us some direction we have a set list of 9 questions, to which we have to find verses which go along with that. i.e what did you learn about Jesus, and you would say this verse taught me this about Jesus. Sounds a bit boring? Well trust me it isn't!!!
So basically I am going to be posting every month (and quite a few in the coming weeks as I need to catch up with all the books that I have done so far) what I was shown through different books. I am hoping that it will help cement just how amazing our God is by putting pen to paper (or rather fingers to keyboard)
I don't know about you but with me personally is I have never been very good at reading my Bible and when I did I just read it with my mind being completely blank. It was a chore and I in no way enjoyed it, but when I came back to Swansea I realised on what God had done to the church so it made me take notice and it had never really clicked before but the Bible is God's Word, I know that is common knowledge, I never really believed it before if that makes sense, it really is what he speaks to us through. I look forward to learning more about what God has to teach me.
