Bible Basics

Bible Basics

For this year’s Bible Basics, we will do something a bit different. In the past we have looked at specific Gospels and letters of Paul, and even the entirety of the Old Testament last year!

This year we will focus down on just three chapters of Matthew’s gospel – Chapters 5 to 7 which comprise the ‘Sermon on the Mount’. This passage offers the most comprehensive and coherent example of Jesus’ teaching in the New Testament, and provides us with a model for the upside-down Kingdom values that Jesus taught. The ‘Sermon on the Mount’ includes the Beatitudes (“Blessed are the ...”), the Lord’s Prayer and the Golden Rule (“Do unto others ...”). This block of Jesus’ teaching offers many of the foundational values of our faith and so repays careful and deeper study.

‘Bible Basics’ is intended to offer a fairly gentle entry into Bible Study and is aimed at those curious to find out some of the basic stories and themes of the Bible. ‘Bible Basics’ will take place on Tuesday mornings at 10.30am in the Guild Room and will last around 60 – 90 minutes. The relevant materials will be provided.

September sees the start of our Saturday Morning Coffee Concerts Season!

Chris Nickol, New Kilpatrick’s Director of Music has agreed to open our new season on Saturday, September 20th, with a recital on our Lewis organ. Chris has chosen a most attractive and varied programme – both traditional and modern. We will hear music by Bach – preludes and toccatinas written for one of his sons, plus pieces from the Anna Magdalena Bach Book of 1725, Handel – movements from the Water Music and Haydn – pieces for musical clocks. In addition, there will be recent pieces by James MacMillan, Frikki Walker and Chris himself.

As usual, fresh coffee and tea with home baking will be served beforehand from 10.45 am in the small hall, with the recital in the church at 11.30 am.

Tickets, priced £15 (free for accompanied children), will be available at the door. Do please join us if you can
