Small Group Resources

We have a number of Small Group DVD's for you to borrow:

7 Laws for Life 7 Laws for Life DVD is based on Selwyn Hughes Book "The 7 Laws of Spiritual Success" and are as reliable as the laws of nature. This resource includes eight 20 minute sessions covering an introduction and 7 key principles for living the Christian life.

Christian Life & The Bible This innovative DVD resource for small groups and individuals is designed to kick-start enthusiasm for the Bible and to inspire confidence in its authority and relevance today. Conrad Gempf, lecturer in New Testament at London School of Theology, skillfully takes you on a journey from thinking about what to make of the Bible, to wondering what the Bible should make of you. The DVD includes six interactive sessions plus a bonus CD-ROM containing additional resources, a leaders' guide and notes for those using it.

Christian Life & Today's World In five ready-to-use sessions, lectures from London School of Theology and other experienced scholars and practitioners bring in-depth reaching and biblical wisdom to issues we face everyday, such as personal identity, pluralism, progress, and consumer culture.

Friends Rediscovered A great resource for group and individual Bible study in four inspiring sessions. Join Jeff as he takes a close look at the priceless gift of friendship through the life and relationships of the apostle Paul.

Imagine How We Can Reach the UK Mark Greene addresses the challenge of living well as fruitful missionary disciples in today's rapidly changing culture.

Pastor Dave Baxter's New Year Message

10th January, 2012

Pastor Dave Baxter welcomed in the new year in the PBC News with a story of Hans Nielsen Hauge. That touch of God's hand and answer to prayer was the start of Hauge's God-driven mission to the whole of the Norwegian people. It was a time when Norwegians were emigrating to America and consequently, Hauge's teaching on repentance and salvation went over to the US with the Lutherans. What will God do in our lives this year? What are we praying for? Click on the header for the story and our Pastor's welcome in full. Happy New Year!
