      “Accepting the Embrace of God:
  The art of Lectio Divina”
 
Lectio Divina has been practiced by Christians over the centuries. It is the slow, contemplative reading and praying of Scripture. As followers of Christ we want to cultivate the ability to listen deeply, to hear “with the ear of our hearts".
 
Heb 4:12 says that “The word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires” So how come when I read the Bible I get bored or fall asleep? How come I don’t feel God’s ‘living power’ or hear God speaking to my deepest thoughts and desires?  Mostly, it’s just about ‘how’ we read, rather than ‘what’ we read.  God wants to communicate personally to us through The Bible, but often we read for information or out of duty and we lose the intimacy that God intended us to receive from His Word.  This course will change all that!  Learning the ancient practice of Lectio Divina and embracing the spiritual wisdom passed down through centuries of Christian faith, you will find your heart is quietened and refreshed. You will embark on a journey of deep discovery where you will encounter the life-changing presence of God through the reading of His Word.  No more lifeless letters on a page – The Bible will become alive to you as you encounter the Spirit of God speaking to you through every page.

This evening is designed for those who are seeking further growth in their journey with God. Look forward to seeing you there"
 
The evening will be broken into 2 sessions with a tea and coffee break. An expense offering will be taken up.
