The Bible is
used amongst Christians and within the fellowship of the church to develop our
theology. Theology
is derived
from the two Greek words, "Theos" meaning God and "logos" meaning word.
Theology is the means by which God gives us understanding in the things
concerning himself and our relationship with him. In a broader sense, theology
is Christ living out his life in our lives through his Spirit so we may know God
as he knows God and be one with the Father as he and the Father are one.
The
interpretation of the Bible is an important undertaking. We want to know what
the Bible says and what it really means for us today - not what we think it
means or what we would like it to mean. We want to be faithful and competent
interpreters of Scripture. But how are we to do that? Many thousands of people
throughout Australia meet in groups each week to study the Bible together.
We have a number of Bible study
groups operating. If you are interested in attending one of these, ring our
minister
Pastor Steve Parker,
for details.
