There’s no better way to grow as a Christian than through studying God’s word together with other Christians. That’s what Focus is all about.
We meet on Tuesdays 7-9pm. There’s a meal all together, we listen to a talk, and then we go into groups, led by members of the wider church family, to study a passage, pray and encourage each other.
At Focus we aim to handle God’s word carefully, in order to hear the authentic voice of his Spirit. This term we will be studying Mark 9-16 to think about true discipleship, as we follow Jesus on his journey to the cross.
Focus is a great way to get to know Jesus better, but it’s also the best way to get more connected with other people at St Andrew the Great. You are free to try it just once; and if studying the Bible is new to you, you are very welcome to sit and listen in.
At first I didn’t really understand why people seemed so keen on Focus! But over the past year I have seen what a significant impact studying the Bible together has had on the lives of people in my group as we try to follow Jesus. It might not feel that significant in any one week but over the year there has been a big change.
