Read the Bible Together (RBT)
RBT is a way of reading the Bible as church, trusting that the Lord speaks to us in his Word and through us to strengthen one another. Over three years we will read the whole Bible. As we read we are guided by seven questions to help us learn from the Bible what God wants us to learn. Each month we get together and share what the Spirit has been teaching us and how we have seen Christ in the Scriptures.
We meet on the Wednesday before the First Sunday of each month to share our answers. There is a 10am meeting in the morning and a 7.30pm meeting via Zoom. Our feedback often reveals that God has been emphasising particular truths, and this feeds into the sermon on the First Sunday of the month.
