This Year’s Bible Study Theme 2024:

Israel, the Church and the Messiah

A major teaching programme

Put prayer and the Bible together and what have you got?
Spiritual power! Something as Christians that we all long for. When we use the Scriptures in our praying we are praying the very words of God. That must make them powerful.

With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfilment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. Ephesians 1:8-10

God sees the big picture-the jigsaw of human history, its present circumstances and its future. He is working His purposes out for the Jew, for Israel, for the Church and for the coming Messiah.

We are sometimes too parochial. We need God’s big picture and see how the parts fit so perfectly together. So this year’s study will bring a greater understanding of this beautiful plan that the Lord has for unity.

This Year’s Bible Study Theme 2023:

THE BIBLE & THE SWORD

Using Scripture to Empower Prayer

Put prayer and the Bible together and what have you got?
Spiritual power! Something as Christians that we all long for. When we use the Scriptures in our praying we are praying the very words of God. That must make them powerful.

We need that kind of praying today; using the Scriptures to empower our vocabulary and enlarge our vision of just who God is and what our prayers, in the power of the Holy Spirit, can achieve.

So over this year we are going to engage in a spiritual experiment which is essential practical. Using the Bible in prayer. A dynamic combination which has the power to transform our walk with Jesus.
We look forward to seeing you at our NEW VENUE: ‘Scott’s Project Hall’ in Tonbridge.
Our aim is to build up the ‘Body of Christ’ with biblical Truth to prepare and equip us for the days to come.

2022 Sessions

This Year’s Theme 2022: ‘ON SOLID ROCK’ – 12 CERTAINTIES FOR ETERNITY

We are living in an age of deep uncertainty. Many believe that there is no such thing as absolute truth anymore. We live at a time of pluralism, liberalism, idealism. We have lost our Judaic-Christian foundation. There is, as Amos prophesied ‘a famine of the Word’. There is no clear spiritual leadership at national level; the voices of secular humanism have diluted the power of the church’s message.
But there are certainties, there are absolute truths and now is the time to declare them clearly and audibly. It is what makes the church unique. Uncompromising, inspiring, dependable truths act as an anchor in the storms of life and give to all who will receive them, rock steady hope. What a message for our time!
We look forward to seeing you at our NEW VENUE: ‘Scott’s Project Hall’ in Tonbridge.

2021 Sessions

Bible School Sessions 2021

We meet the first SATURDAY in every month at Tonbridge Evangelical Free Church, Douglas Road, Tonbridge TN9 2TE. Times 10:30am to 12 noon with a break for refreshments. Attendance is free with a voluntary retiring offering.

2021 Year’s Theme: Jesus, Yeshua, the great I Am

They’re more than a bunch of letters grouped together to sound pleasant to the ear. Names are more than a convenience allowing people to talk to each other. Names are a gift from God. These words contain His power. They give things meaning. They bring us meaning.
“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” – Proverbs 22:1 (NIV)
We read that Jesus is the Name above all names and that one day every knee will bow at the Name of Jesus. Names have meaning. Our names have meaning. The meaning of the Name of Jesus is ‘to rescue, to deliver.’ More simply put it means ‘Saviour.’ This year we will be taking as our central study the great I Am’s of John’s Gospel. This rich study is aimed to increase our faith and hope in that most precious of all names.

2020 Sessions

Bible School Sessions: 2020
Theme: The Temple and the Messiah

‘The most valuable piece of land in the whole world.’ That is how the Temple Mount in Jerusalem has been described. And indeed it is, for it is here that a future Third Temple and then Messiah’s Millennial Temple (the Fourth Temple, described in Ezekiel) will be built. The study of the link between these Temples and the coming Messiah is fascinating. Beginning with the travelling temple, the Tabernacle in the wilderness, we move through history tracing the development of the Temple history and the importance and significance of its furniture. Our studies conclude with the theme of the future Temples.
