Bible Study Group
Foundations Explored
Thursdays, 7.30pm – 9.00pm
From Thursday 28th April, Pilgrims Hall is offering an opportunity to join together for informal studies in God’s Word, starting at Genesis chapter 1, looking at the important teachings that the LORD set down “in the beginning” as the foundations for our faith; scriptures which we often take for granted—but that we hope we may see with new eyes.
We shall be exploring such things as: how we were created to be, the gospel in Genesis, and seeing Jesus in the Hebrew Scriptures. In addition, understanding the Hebrew (Jewish) roots of our faith, and the depth of meaning in the original Hebrew words and names, opens up Scripture in an amazing way – building our faith in an unchanging, faithful and loving God and Father.
Our studies will be in the context of what the original text meant to those who wrote it down, to those who heard or read it at the time and throughout the centuries before the birth of Jesus, and therefore what it must have meant to our Lord Jesus himself. These sessions will be in depth, but suitable for beginners and more mature believers alike.
When: Thursday evenings from 28th April, 2022 (with breaks over holiday periods)
Time: 7.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m., followed by refreshments
Leaders: John Coulthard (Resident Team) and Suzanne Cousins (Trustee)
Cost: No charge, but we ask for a donation at the beginning of each term towards costs/the work of Pilgrims Hall

Bible Study Series
Studies in Isaiah
Starting: Saturday 17th September 2022
Ending: Saturday 21st January 2023
Time: 9.30am to 11.30am, plus short time for Q & A’s, followed by drinks.
Those of us who have been able to attend the Pilgrims Hall Summer Schools in the not so distant past will be delighted to learn of this opportunity to study again under Ariel Berkovitz. Ariel is a gifted and renowned international Bible teacher. (Please see the short biography below.)
In a nine session Bible study series, Ariel will be taking an in depth look at key themes in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. In a first for Pilgrims Hall this will feature live-streamed teaching from Ariel in Arad, Israel. It will be shown on a large screen TV in the Main Lounge at Pilgrims Hall. It is hoped that Ariel will be able to attend at least one of the sessions in person.
The sessions will run fortnightly, with a couple of modifications as you can see from the programme information below, on Saturday mornings commencing at 9.30am. Each session will be approximately two hours with a short break mid-session, and with time at the end for questions. Tea and coffee will be available at the end of each session for those who wish to stay and chat.

Isaiah addresses the people of the nations and delivers messages that the Holy One has for them. He begins with the nations immediately surrounding Israel, then expands to prophecies about the entire world.
17th December: Songs of the Servant Part 1: Isaiah 41–50
Chapters 40–53 are a unique section of the book. The subject is an individual called “The Servant”. Is the Servant Israel? Is it someone else? Let us explore and see if we can answer those questions. The climax is Chapter 53.
7th January 2023: Songs of the Servant Part 2: Isaiah 51–53
The Servant is also High and Lifted Up. The climax of the Songs of the Servant is Chapter 53.
