Whatever our church denomination, we all use the same Sunday Gospel from the Revised Common Lectionary. Year A focuses on Matthew, but during the first five Sundays of Lent, four of the Gospels are curiously from John. By basing each of the five sessions in this course on the previous Sunday’s Gospel, David Wilbourne provides a brilliant connection to the preaching and teaching that has just taken place.
Serious yet full of life and humour, the course covers:
Session 1: Temptation . . .
On checking every word that comes out of the mouth of God
Session 2: Strangers in the night . . .
Nicodemus came to Jesus under cover of darkness: finding God in surprising places
Session 3: The winner takes it all
‘You worship what you do not know’: upping our game with worship
Session 4: I was blind but now I see
‘A god who can be understood is no god’
Session 5: Them bones, them bones, them dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
Contrasting events in John with parables in the Synoptics
The course booklet is accompanied by a lively CD, in which David Wilbourne and guests from various denominational backgrounds, put forward their thoughts on the themes of the course.
