Two bible study series are beginning this November, one at Barnt Green & Redditch Meeting, and one online:

Engaging with Scripture: Jesus – The Road to Emmaus

Barnt Green & Redditch Quakers warmly invite you to join this series of engaging with scripture study sessions.

Our guest speaker is Michael Ashton, a Christadelphian.  He will present for discussion material that attempts to discover details of a conversation briefly mentioned in Luke’s gospel.  Two disconsolate disciples were returning home from Jerusalem three days after Jesus’ crucifixion. Their hopes were completely dashed, and they fell into conversation with someone they met on the road. After a long time, their companion revealed that he was their hoped-for Messiah, whom they thought was dead.

By searching for the details of the conversation that occurred, more information will be uncovered about Jesus’ life, mission, crucifixion and resurrection.
