Hope 25: Hope in an uncertain World

Devotionals or Bible Study (for the benefit of Growth Group Leaders):

Term 2 preaching at LMAP is a funny beast this year, because unusually we have four short Bible Talk Series happening (Hope 25, Christian Citizenship, God & Life, NT Exegetical TBA) and we have the proposed shut down of the LMAP MT Riv for renovations before the reopening (Soft start then Hard advertised start). As such, we thought that our Growth Groups would be better served by doing the one Bible Study series across the term – and we are suggesting that be a series in Proverbs. This is a helpful text as it is wisdom literature and can run parallel to each of the fours Bible Talk series.

Dave Swan is working on this Bible Studies and will have them ready on the Leaders Resource Page and Church Central by the end of Term 1. It will be those Studies that we review in the Weekly Huddle.

Commentary suggestions (for the benefit of Growth Group Leaders and Preachers):

This online commentary from the Gospel Coalition is super helpful, and it is free! https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/commentary/ezekiel/

This TGC Course on Ezekiel is also very helpful. It is a good overview of the book, along with sections that define key themes and words, and historical background, along with helpful sections for reflection and discussion. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/course/knowing-the-bible-ezekiel/
