FAQs Q Why are you doing this? A The Bible is scarcely read in to-
day’s fast-paced society. Our faith and belief in God motivates us to share His message and Truth. We believe that the Bible teaches us what is right and good in directing our lives and families. In Jesus’ day, his followers spread the good news Jesus had spoken about as well as the things he had commanded. We try to follow their example, to share with eveyone who is willing to listen the wonderful plan God has promised for the earth.
Q Will I need any prior knowledge of the Bible?
A These seminars are designed for
everyone, whether you are a regular Bible reader, or new to Bible reading. A wide variety of topics are covered but no prior knowledge is assumed.
Q Who will be paying for the seminars?
A All costs are being paid for by the Christadelphians in the area.
