Encountering Paul: From Acts to the Epistles

21/05/2026

This five‑session course offers a concise yet rich introduction to the life, mission, and theology of the Apostle Paul through both the narrative of Acts and the undisputed Pauline epistles. Participants begin with Paul’s dramatic emergence in Acts before moving through key epistles that reveal his pastoral heart, theological depth, and evolving relationships with early Christian communities: the hope and urgency of 1 Thessalonians and Galatians, the joy and reconciliation of Philippians and Philemon, the complex dynamics of the Corinthian correspondence, and the sweeping theological vision of Romans. Together, these sessions provide a coherent overview of Paul’s thought and its enduring impact on Christian identity and practice.

This course is suitable for pastoral workers helping in the Ministry of the Word. It is also ideal for people who would like to delve deeper in knowledge about Paul and all Christians who would like to continue to invest in their relationship with God.

Running, Returning, Renewed: A Journey Through Jonah

12/05/2026

This verse‑by‑verse study of the Book of Jonah examines the text in its historical, literary, and theological context. Participants will analyse Jonah’s call, his resistance, the narrative’s use of irony, the response of the sailors and the Ninevites, and God’s final challenge to the prophet. The course also considers how Jonah is referenced in the New Testament to understand how early Christian interpretation engaged with this story. The aim is to provide a clear, structured exploration of the book’s themes, its portrayal of divine mercy and human reluctance, and its ongoing relevance for readers today.

This course is suitable for pastoral workers helping in the Ministry of the Word. It is also ideal for people who would like to delve deeper in knowledge about Jonah and all Christians who would like to continue to invest in their relationship with God.
