Colossians 4:2–4 (Listen)

2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.

(ESV)

Eleanor’s story

“I couldn't believe that I’d gone to chapel all my life but I wasn't a Christian”

I was asked, ‘Do you believe in Jesus?’ and I said ‘Of course, I do!’ because I did – after all, I had been to church all my life. The problem was I believed in a Jesus that I didn't really know. But over time I accepted what the Bible was saying so I confessed to God that I was a sinner and came to know that there was no hope without him. And the older I get the more I realise how totally undeserving I am of all that God has done for me. That is what it’s all about — all I had was religion but it’s not about religion, it’s about really knowing God.

Growing together… in God's Word
Growing Together is a monthly meeting for all those who want to to understand the Bible better, and put into practice what they learn. Each month we cover two topics with plenty of time for discussion and questions. To make the most of our time together, each member of the group reads a short book each month, to help prepare for the discussion.
