The lowdown on Life Explored

In the New Year members of Emmanuel Westbury and Bishopston are going to be running the Life Explored course. 

The course is similar to the Christianity Explored.  Each session builds on the one before and contains Bible interaction, discussion time and watching a talk given Rico Tice and one or two others.  We’ll sit around tables in groups of around 8 people.  Each session will be around an hour and a quarter.  

The new thing about Life Explored is its starting point. Each week begins with a 10 minute, beautifully produced, wordless film that’s intended to engage with the longings we have for fulfillment and happiness – the sort of longings we all have but always find are unmet.  Each opening film simply intends to provoke thought rather than provide any concrete answers.  For a sneak preview of some of the films go here.

From that basis there’s an opportunity for discussion around tables followed by another talk. The evening ends with a short Bible study looking at a passage that sheds light on the topic of the evening.

As the weeks go by we’ll hopefully see that all of us, whether we are religious or not, are all living for something and that life in all its fullness can only ever be found in Jesus Christ.

Join us, or bring a friend…  All details about the course are here.
