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.

JULY 2025: 2 CHRONICLES
In July we are reading 2 Chronicles. 1 & 2 Chronicles can be thought of as 2 scrolls but one book. Some of the resources below are focused on 1 Chronicles but they will remain here throughout July.
Some helpful links:
Daily Reflections on most of 2 Chronicles written by our Vicar.
The Theology of the Chronicler - what is with all the long lists and genealogies in 1 Chronicles 1-9? James Bejon shows us the rich theology packed into these chapters.
God’s Promise to David - 1 Chronicles 17 is a crucial chapter as God makes promises to David. In this short article Peter Leithart shows us how the promise connects with Adam and Jesus.
An Introduction to Biblical Genealogies - There are genealogies across the Bible, not just in 1 Chronicles. Why does God give us these? Another article by James Bejon helps us value these parts of the Bible.
