Sunday Service: Joshua 3 - "Going across the Flow!"

Tomorrow we'll have our morning service to worship God together and to proclaim His Word at the social center Magnolia, a well known cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio.

At 10.15 we will continue our series on the Book of Joshua, exploring Joshua 3 - "Going across the Flow!"

We will also have our Children's Club, where children will engage with a talk on the same biblical text, followed by a programme for the different age groups.

"«For every New Testament doctrine, there is an Old Testament picture.» The doctrinal teaching of inheritance gazed upon in the New Testament letters of Ephesians and Hebrews is glimpsed in the Old Testament book of Joshua. Jesus is the hero of both the Old Testament and the New Testament... The Bible is a HIMBOOK and must be seen and understood through the lens of Christ. It was Christ who, «beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, … interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures» (Luke 24:27; see also v. 44). During Jesus’s conversation with his two disciples on the Emmaus road, after a bit, he exposited the Hebrew Bible to them. He revealed how the volume bears witness to his essence and his eventual bodily presence on earth in the incarnation. Never does the Bible foreshadow Jesus more than in the book of Joshua."

House Concert with David L. Ward

 

Tomorrow evening, in partnership with The Masterpiece Project we'll organize an evening of live music and stories of life and faith.

David L. Ward is a musician and singer-songwriter from Nashville, USA, a city where music and the art of storytelling hold a special place.

It promises to be a memorable evening in which, through his music and the stories behind it, David will lead us to reflect on the questions we all share and on a hope that can truly surprise us.

Theology for Breakfast

Tomorrow we'll continue our series of meetings of Theology for Breakfast!
Following Luther's Table Talks example, we'll meet from 9am to 11am at Central Café in Mezzolara where, while enjoying a breakfast with capuccino & croissants, we'll engage with God's Word discovering the beauty of theology in our everyday life!
Together we'll interact with the module: Union with Christ, starting Unit 9: Press on with the mission
 

Union with Christ is the centre of the gospel. It’s been called the central doctrine of salvation. This course will teach you how the profound truth of a Christian's union and identity with Christ drives us to mission and joy in him. All that Christ has achieved for his people is ours through our union with him. Heart change and mission flow out of who Jesus is, and how we are bound to him by faith. This course will teach you to understand and enjoy your relationship with Jesus in everyday life on mission.
