St Alban’s Church Bible Study

​

Lent Course 2025    Theme: 'Desert Walk with Christ'
12th March to 9th April 2025
in the Community Room from 6.00pm to 7.00pm

 

My dear friends in Christ, you are invited to join the Lenten Bible Study 2025. The spiritual desert of our life will come sooner or later. This is a journey which cannot be avoided by any single living soul. I am talking of those dry, often painful weeks, months, years where God seems so far away. We struggle to find restoration and joy.

 

The struggle leaves us bone weary and isolated, and we have nothing left. The path into the desert can be varied - the death of a loved one, an illness, divorce, or loneliness. They may be broken relationships or isolation. The burnout we get from serving and serving and serving. It can be a moment where we are confronted by our own secret sin or an idol that has crashed down around our ears. It can be when other people's brokenness rub against us and cut us deep. It is in the space between hope and reality that our desert emerges.

 

When we meet obstacles, we lie down, too tired and weary to go over the wall in front of us. In all these trials and tribulations, God remains God and is inviting us to walk with him in the situations we find ourselves in.


Please note that Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, and all are invited for the imposition of ashes in church on 5th March at 10.00am and 7.()()pm respectively.
