Bible Study Group Has Begun

October 10, 2016 by 2

Rev. Geoff McKee has started a joint Bible Study for St James’ and St Gerardine’s High in the Manse (St Gerardine’s Road, Lossiemouth IV31 6RA – which can be found at the junction of James Street and St Gerardine’s Road) on Wednesday nights at 7.30pm.

All welcome.

Here’s what Jean Symon thought of it:

We were studying John 18.

It is being looked at over several weeks, in sections. We read aloud part of the passage – a couple of lines each – and Geoff guided us throughout with an in-depth explanation of the significance of these verses. He referred back to other passages and reference points which had already been studied. There was no expectation for us to arrive at details with which we were unfamiliar.

It was a comfortable 30 minute class and, afterwards, tea, coffee and biscuits were served.

We sat in a comfortable room, with settees and extra folding chairs brought in until all were seated. Unexpectedly there was the added comfort of an open fire. It is therefore not difficult to understand how this class is to be recommended.

Just a friendly atmosphere and an opportunity to learn and meet new people.

So, the Bible Study Group has begun and, if you would like more information, feel free to get in touch via the Contact form on this website.

Why having low expectations in life to avoid disappointment is a bad plan

January 16, 2021 By 2

The virtual service for 17 January 2021 is available on this page. It is the Second Sunday after the Epiphany.

The service includes scripture readings, prayers, a sermon and, below the video further down, a musical selection chosen by Kath Robertson.

The Lectionary readings this week are: 1 Samuel 3:1-20 and Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18;
1 Corinthians 6:12-20 and John 1:43-51. Geoff reads these as part of the service.

The sermon is based on the text from John’s Gospel and that Bible passage set out below for you. It is the story of how Jesus called Philip and Nathanael as disciples.

Rev. Geoff McKee contrasts different commentators’ views and reflects on whether meagre expectations of life serve us best or, as he argues, if we’re not expecting so much more than that then we cannot live as we have been made to live.
