In Ephesians 6, (please look this up in your Bible)  Paul exhorted his readers to be clothed with God’s spiritual armor. This armor includes things like the “sword of the Spirit” and the “helmet of salvation.” This Armor of God Word Search will helps us to learn the pieces of God’s armor found in this passage. The Lord provides the armor and weapons we need to live our Christian lives as He desires.

Who we are!

Youth in Action
                                           
A group for young adults
Youth in Action is a group for young adults (those attending Secondary School and beyond) that has been running at All Souls for many years. There are no criteria for membership. Anyone is welcome to join.
 
When we meet
We would usually meet, but not always, on the second and third Sunday of the month in the larger section of the church hall. We leave the church after prayer at the beginning of the service, with the crèche and the Sunday School. We would normally return to church at the Peace. Sometimes we meet at other times for social events and outings. During lock down we are keeping in touch the best ways we can.
 
How it is different from Sunday School.
Because the group is more mature, the “lessons” will be more demanding than Sunday School in terms of participation and challenge. Members will be expected to contribute, listen and support one another. Topics will be chosen that are important to young adults and they will invited to suggest them. The Bible will used to inform the discussions and the group will become more familiar with looking up passages and with studying and discussing the scriptures in greater depth.
 
What to expect
We begin with a short prayer and a discussion about how the week has been. The topic will then be introduced. We close the discussion with a prayer preparing us for Holy Communion.
 
Other Sundays
We only meet two Sundays in the month but the group will be encouraged on the other Sundays to engage fully in church life as young adults, using their gifts for ministry, such as welcome, reading, serving, taking the notices, counting the collection and so on. On some Sundays in the year Youth in Action will lead the service, including preaching and leading intercessions.
 
Confirmation.
Most members of the group will already be baptised and have done the First Communion Course during their time in Sunday School. At this stage they will be encouraged to step forward for Confirmation. Attendance at Youth in Action will be regarded as preparation for Confirmation.

An Introduction to the Structure of the Bible

Part 1: The first five books of the Bible Aka the Torah (the Law), the Pentateuch.
 
The books are:  Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.
 
Their place in the Synagogue and the Church.
 
The authors/sources:  J (the Yahwist); E (the Elohist);  P (the Priests); D (the Deuteronomist).
J - The Yahwist call God Yahweh (I am who I am.) See EXODUS 3: 13-15  (Moses and the burning bush – note also the anthropomorphic nature of God. The oldest stories.
E - The Elohist calls God Elohim (God most high.) Avoids describing God in an anthropomorphic way. Emphasis on his transcendence.
P - The Priestly source also calls God Elohim and has an interest in rather tedious details about rituals and the Law. Lacks the excitement and vigour of J and P.
D - The Deuteronomist wrote the Book of Deuteronomy  at a time of crisis and spiritual renewal ( the discovery of this book is described in 2 KINGS 22: 8-10.) Moses is in Moab, the place where he dies and is looking back and forward. The Pentateuch ends with the death of Moses on Mount Nebo, with Israel on the verge of entering the Promised Land.
Roughly speaking: Genesis and Exodus: J and E
Last part of Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers :  P
Deuteronomy: D
 
When was it written/ completed : Post Exile but some traditions much earlier, including oral tradition. Some of the sources adapted and adopted from other Middle Eastern religious traditions eg the flood.
 
The content: from Creation to the death of Moses. The historical narrative and the exposition of the law intertwined. The story of the giving of the law in history. We call this salvation history because the Law in OT times and the Cross in NT times is what makes us right with God -  ie saves us. The themes of the Pentateuch are: the promise (see   GENESIS 12: 1-4), the election (see GENESIS 12: 6-9), the covenant (see  GENESIS 15: 1-18 AND 17:9), the Law (see EXODUS 20 onwards.) 
 
Biblical Criticism:
From 19th Century, looking at Bible from a historical, literary, textual, form - from every angle; bringing modern scientific/academic research techniques to objectively analyse what we read in the Bible.
