RIOT IN THE CITY

Sunday Evening we shall be looking at the riot in Ephesus from Acts 19v21-41. Over the centuries there have been several riots in Bristol. The worst seems to have been in 1831. Follow the link to read an interesting short booklet about this.


Or for a briefer version:


This riot was about who can vote. But why does Christianity sometimes result in riots? Is the message we preach something that should concern you? Hope to see you on Sunday evening at 6:30pm. Stay afterwards and talk further with us about this over coffee or tea.

We shall be ordering on the 11th November. Please add your name to the list at church or contact me directly. 

Desiring God make available free copies as a pdf file of a Leaders Guide and a Student Workbook. These can be found at:


You can also listen to the original sermons on which the book is based at:

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN OUR FAMILY HISTORY

Who do you think you are? In his retirement my Dad research his own family history. Maybe you or a relative has looked into yours. What do you know about OUR family history - the Christian family history - God's family history? 

The Bible recounts our family history from Adam through to near the end of the fist Century. What an exciting story it is. Read the book of Esther and see how nearly it all came to a premature end. What do you know after the book of Revelation? 

Ligonier Ministries founded by the late R C Sproul is currently showing a video series by Robert Godfrey on the first 500 years of Church History. Each one lasts for around 24 minutes. A new episode comes out every Saturday and is repeated on Sundays. (There are others shown by different speakers on different topics on the other days of the week.) The first episode came out on the 1st June 2019.  They seem to keep the last four months episodes available. Click where it says playing and a list of episodes drops down.

They are highly recommended. A great way to learn our family history.
