Summer 2010
- This term we will be studying Ecclesiastes together.
- The studies will be organized as follows:
-
Week 2 – 1 (Introduction, all is like vapor)
-
Week 3 – 2 (Worthlessness of worldly pleasure)
-
Week 4 – 3:1-4:8 (The purpose of man - taking joy in the Lord)
- Week 5 – 4:9-6:12 (It is God we must fear)
- Week 6 – 7-8 (Wisdom better than folly?)
- Week 7 – 9:1-10:7 (Live with joy)
- Week 8 – 10:8-11:8 (Folly of earthly things)
- Week 9 – 11:9-12:14 (Walk in the ways of God in your youth)
- Feel free to take a sneaky peek before the study! Even read through the whole book if you have a couple hours free...
What are they?
- A welcoming place which group members feel able to, and really want to bring friends to.
- An exciting place where we learn what the Bible says, be challenged by it, and share it with new Christians, seekers and more mature Christians.
- A safe place where we learn how to talk about Jesus naturally, passionately and clearly.
What we do in small groups?
- We take a look at a short passage from the Bible and discuss what it says, how we respond to it and how it affects our life today.
- We spend time in prayer for each other
- We encourage one another to follow Jesus more closely through the good times and the bad.
How are they run?
- Small groups meet weekly, on weekdays. See the college website for details of your small group time.
- The Small Group Leader prepares some questions to promote discussion of the passage beforehand and opens and closes the meeting.
- Members are sometimes encouraged to be help out in small ways, like hosting the meeting, bringing drinks or a snack/dessert, or by leading in prayer.
