This event is open to anyone in the Diocese who wants to come, all are welcome. 

Many Christians want to read and understand the Bible, but don't really know how it fits together, and so can easily get lost and discouraged. Looking at a 'Bible Overview' is a way of tracing the main story of the Bible, so we can see the one glorious plan of salvation in Christ, but also so we have a framework to help us understand all the other parts of the Bible. This free workshop will be suitable for those who are new to reading the Bible, as well as those who may have read it for years, but want to grow in their understanding. Please bring a bible.

Our speaker, Matt Searles, served in local church ministry in London before delivering training for the past 10 years for the South-Central Gospel Partnership, Crosslands Seminary and most recently with the Union School of Theology.

Matt and his family recently moved from Oxford to Kendal and he is a songwriter and the author of several books, including ‘God’s Story - The Bible Explained’ and ‘Tumbling Sky - Psalm Devotions for Weary Souls’.  His recordings of the Psalms are available for streaming. Matt has been a regular speaker at The Keswick Convention.
