Bible Study

E-Bible Study

Back to Bible Study is intended to stimulate reflection on some of the basic teachings of Christianity. The idea is that each reader will use this study for personal Bible Study. Of course, it could also be used for Group studies. Please feel free to share this study with anyone who might be interested.

Please take the time to check the Scriptures used and to participate in the reflection sections. I suggest that each study begins with prayer during which the reader asks for God’s guidance in understanding the biblical passages used.

Each study will refer to the relevant section of the Statement of Beliefs of the Worldwide Church of God.

The studies are intended to be heavily scriptural. Bibles used are the 1982 version of the New King James 9 (NKJ) by Thomas Nelson and published by Broadman and Holman (USA), and the New Living Translation (NLT) of 1996 published by Tyndale House Publishers (USA). Scripture taken from THE MESSAGE is copyright © by Eugene Peterson, 1993, 1994, 1995 and is used by kind permission of the NavPress Publishing Group, USA.

Back to Bible Study - Day by Day

In April of this year we mentioned that a new Bible Study was planned for late in 2008 or early in 2009. From 1st January, we plan to publish a daily study on www.daybyday.org.uk. These studies will be written by members from various congregations of our church.

The title “Day by Day” is taken from 2 Corinthians 4:16. This scripture is very exciting. It tells us that even though our physical bodies are ageing, our inner self is in the process of renewal. Our spiritual life is about newness, not oldness. The point is that you are not the same person you were yesterday.  You may feel like the “same old, same old” but the truth is that with each passing day we all change mentally, physically, emotionally, and, according to the scriptures, spiritually. Day by day the Holy Spirit is changing us spiritually as “we are being transformed into the same image” of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJ). 

An essential part of that transformation is our daily communication with God. Perhaps we think that, because we know God is always present, there isn’t the need to contact Him. It is like living in the same house as someone, knowing that he or she is always or usually around, and yet never talking to him or her. Imagine being in a marriage where you know your partner is always there somewhere in the background of your life and yet you rarely speak to one another.

Speaking to God brings Him from the background into the centre of your life. It is acknowledging His presence. It is stating that you have an active relationship with Him. It means that you don’t take that relationship for granted, that you value the contact.

Linking everyday to God is part of not losing heart. It lifts us up. It renews our inward being, our very soul.

At the beginning of each year there is a human custom about making resolutions to change and to get around to doing some things that we have put off doing. Maybe your daily contact with God is one of those things that never really seem to get off the ground.  Is your daily walk actually a weekly shuffle during church? Perfunctory at best?  Think about committing yourself to a daily relationship with God as you begin 2009. Day by Day can help you on that journey.

This year, be renewed day by day.
