Oak Hall Holidays: 'WORD. online!' - May 8th 2021: 2Corinthians with Andy Robinson

WORD. online!

During our first 'WORD. online!' events, over ten thousand have joined us for inspiring Bible studies with excellent Bible teachers.

These sessions are free and you are warmly invited!

For our next 'WORD. online!' on Saturday May 8th, Andy Robinson will again be opening the Scriptures as we explore 2 Corinthians together...

2 Corinthians - Treasure in Jars of Clay

It is so easy to grow weary and discouraged perhaps particularly at the moment. The apostle Paul had plenty of reasons to grow fed up - he faced frequent opposition and difficult relationships with the churches that he planted. 2 Corinthians is the most personal of Paul's letters as he opens his heart to his readers. He is realistic about the discouragement he faces but he comes back to the phrase 'We do not lose heart'. We'll discover the secret of Paul's perseverance and learn how to follow his example.

Andy Robinson works as one of the leadership team of Woodstock Road Baptist Church in Oxford and has been speaking on Oak Hall expeditions for over ten years. Andy has already spoken on three of our 'WORD. online!' events and we are very much looking forward to him joining us again.

"Thanks SO MUCH for an absolutely wonderful morning..."

Alison

March 2021 - WORD. online! #11 - three selected Psalms with Andy Jack

'The soul's medicine chest'
The psalms have been called the soul's medicine chest and are a great place to turn when life is difficult and questions abound. They remind us what God is like; they point us to the Lord Jesus; and they provide us with words to speak to God in those dark times. Here we consider three psalms that train us to think not just on the basis of what we see and experience but on what God has revealed. And there lies our hope.

Psalm 13 - How long O Lord?
Psalm 73 - When the bad guys are winning
Psalm 131 - The secret of a quiet heart

October 2020 - WORD. online! #06 - Psalm 23 with Andy Jack

Psalm 23 speaks to our situation so poignantly... here Andy Jack takes us through this ancient poem.

Here are some resources that Andy recommends on the psalms:

1. Willem A. VanGemeren — “Psalms” in the Expositor’s Bible Commentary (1991) - Quite academic.
Derek Kidner — Psalms 1-72; Psalms 73-150 (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries, 1973).
Gerald Wilson — Psalms Volume 1 (NIV Application Commentary, 2002) - More accessible and practical
Donald Williams — Psalms 1-72; Psalms 73-150 (The Preacher’s Commentary, 2002). - Very readable and devotional

WORD. events - welcome!

At Oak Hall, Otford Manor, our prayer is that all we do will point to the person of Jesus Christ. Central to our events, holidays and expeditions is the Bible teaching that is shared. Through these sessions, some meet Jesus for the first time and respond to His call on their lives, many others grow in their walk with Him.

Supporting each other to support local churches

Our aim is that all those who join us would return to their home churches to enthusiastically support these frontline communities - reaching out to their friends, family and colleagues with the news of God's love shown in Jesus.
