But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.
Psalm 1:2-3
We believe Scripture is God’s living Word, powerful enough to transform our hearts and minds. Yet many of us find it difficult to understand the fullness of it, how it fits together, or how it can affect our lives today. As a result, we can miss the deeper encounter with God that His Word offers.
Over six days, we invite you to journey through the Sermon on the Mount using BibleProject Classroom videos. Together, we’ll explore the heart of Jesus’ teaching and discover fresh insight into Matthew’s Gospel and its startling connections to the Old Testament.
Through the teaching of BibleProject scholar Tim Mackie, we’ll uncover the biblical context and themes that are often overlooked, revealing new depths within familiar passages.
What makes this event so special is that in addition to the BibleProject videos, each day will include group discussions, personal reflection, creative response, and prayer. This intentional and unhurried rhythm is designed to help God’s truth move beyond information into transformation, allowing His Word to reshape our thinking and deepen our relationship with Him.
Our prayer is that this time will strengthen your confidence in engaging with Scripture, deepen your love for God’s Word, and equip you to continue exploring it long after the retreat has ended. While we won’t complete the entire BibleProject Classroom course, we hope you’ll be inspired to carry on the journey at home.
We are extremely grateful to BibleProject for allowing us to use their videos and resources for this event. They are all freely accessible online, and on their app, courtesy of thousands of supporters who generously support their work.
BibleProject helps people experience the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. They are a nonprofit, crowdfunded organisation that makes free resources such as videos, podcasts, articles, and classes to help people experience the Bible in a way that is approachable and transformative. They do this by showcasing the literary art of the Scriptures and tracing key biblical themes from Genesis to Revelation. To find out more about the Bible Project, to explore their vast library of resources, and to support their work, please visit: bibleproject.com.
