Focus
Focus is our mid-week Bible study for students
at St Andrew the Great. Come along and give it a try to:
- get connected with other students at church.
Really good friendships can develop over a meal and in a small group at Focus. - learn more about Jesus.
Each week we dig deeper into the Bible with a talk and then a study led by our graduate Student Team. - be helped to follow Jesus.
At Focus we can encourage each other to keep putting Jesus first and we can pray for one another.
We meet from 7.00pm-9.00pm every Tuesday evening during the Cambridge University term. If this sort of thing is new to you, why not join a group and just sit and listen for a few weeks? We reckon small groups like Focus are vital in looking after you and helping you look after others. Make it a priority!
Focus on Romans
The gospel is the Christian good news, and
Paul’s letter to the Romans sums it up like this:
‘The righteous will live by faith’. But what
is this ‘faith’? What is the ‘life’
that it brings? And what does it mean to be
‘righteous’ in response to it? This year
we’ll be studying Romans together, taking a term to
answer each of those questions.
- Michaelmas Term: Romans 1-4, Understanding the Gospel
- Lent Term: Romans 5-11, Experiencing the Gospel
- Easter Term: Romans 12-16, Living out the Gospel
This term, we focus on ‘Living out the Gospel’. Romans 12-16 takes us to the heart of worship and shows us how the gospel transforms our attitude to ourselves and others. Paul has shown us that the gospel is the best news in the world, and these are key chapters in helping us to live flat out for it.
