Behold & Believe

On the Blog this week, I will be mentioning a bible study book for our new series -
“Who Are You Jesus? I Am …”
I will not be following the book in detail but you may find it a helpful companion to the series.
There is nothing complicated in the study but it will take a bit of time to use it properly. There is a week of study for each I Am saying, but I reckon you would be doing well to complete it in the month between studies. I will make reference to it on the blog after each Sunday. You can buy it in local bookstores or on Amazon (link below) Normally £11.99 but on special offer on Amazon at £9.56 at the moment. On Sunday we will be thinking about Jesus as The Bread Of Life and this is one way to feast on Him.
