More BB Online Bible School additions

During the 1990's the Raglan Road Christian Fellowship operated a residential course which they named "The Christian Workers Programme". The 'tutorial staff' was made up mostly of visiting speakers. Les Wheeldon conducted an extended series on the Life of Christ based on the Gospel according to Matthew.

Now, thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can share in the sessions. Why not set some time aside to work consistently through the 30 sessions? You are bound to find treasures here!

You will find them at the The Gospel according to Matthew. You will also find the first of our "Church Life School" study sessions on The Word of God.

New Modules for the BB Online Bible School

We have just uploaded Les Wheeldon's series on The Revelation. This was a 17 session series taken at Epsom during the winter of 05/06. It is not a verse by verse exposition but a sharing of spiritual truth provoked by The Revelation of Jesus Christ.

You can also follow the Edgar Parkyns' series on The Revelation which is also available on line here.

If any of these studies provoke your thinking we will be happy. If you would like to discuss or talk about any aspects of the studies you can do so on the New Covenant Workshop discussion forums.

Registration is free.

Just click here for the whole week in the comfort of your home.

a Biblebase Online Bible School?

The Biblebase Online Bible School is at the very early stages but there are a few live items to whet your appetite. Take a look at The Whitestone Correspondence Course. The site is hosted by a brother in Phoenix, Arizona and, as I know from my frequent conversations with him, his heart desire is to lift up Jesus Christ and make Him visible to men and women.

Take a minute or two to scan the Correspondence Courses on the Whitestone site. Do you know folks who might benefit from this kind of interactive Correspondence Bible School?

From Judas to da Vinci

The Da Vinci Code premiered in UK cinemas on 19th May 2006. On the 18th May I shared a presentation with my home church in the UK. We opened the evening to other local churches and Matthew Steed videoed it. We have now uploaded it to the google video site where you may download it free to your PC/Mac, Video iPod, or PSP!!! Or if you prefer you can just watch it streamed from the video.google site.

We did not video the Questions and Answers but we can raise some questions on the New Covenant Workshops Forum site. Please give it a spin and let us know if you found it useful. You will find it here: From Judas to da Vinci.

Introduction to the Old Testament

I have completed the uploading of the studies on the Old Testament so there are now 14 of them and an appendix. I need to convert the actual spoken studies from cassettes to mp3s so it may take little time to get the whole thing together.

Still, the notes were intended to stand on their own feet so see how you get on with them...
You ought to be able to find them here... Following the Seed under the Workman Workshop section.

Mission Prayer Centre

I am going to try to restart the Prayer Contact element of Biblebase. There will now be a section within the named preachers entitled Mission Prayer Centre. I will populate this with appropriate prayer information or links to other prayer information sites.

The first example is Margaret Beckett working with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Tanzania.

Next Door to Heaven

Some time ago I began a thread on a Sermonindex forum called "Next Door to Heaven". This is the book I have always wanted to write... in instalments! For some reason, probably distractions, the thread ran into the sand and ended. I kept the thoughts in my heart and have always wanted to return to it. Enter... the wonderful world of 'blogs'!! (trumpet fanfare etc)

So I have begun again on Next Door to Heaven. It is intended to be an introduction to the wonders of Full Salvation aimed at a level of a fairly intelligent but fairly new convert. I had a specific person in mind when I began and still do.

So if you would like regular instalments you can use the subscription tool on the left of the Next Door to Heaven blog and never miss a thrilling episode. Until we can figure out a way to put the entries into chronological order you will have to remember to read it backwards!!

Shuffling the Saints

If you have been having problems finding some of the recordings of Dai Patterson or Blaesius Fultang... my apologies. We have been restructuring the server and some of the links from our mp3 site (the successor to Biblebased ) may be pointing in the wrong direction. If you haven't yet heard Blaesius... you are in for a treat!

If you discover any which mis-direct you please let me know and I will try to put you back on track.

There are other changes 'afoot' so if you discover any other 'glitches' please drop me a line.

This blog straight to your mailbox?

If you would like to receive new entries to this blog you can set up a 'blog subscription' account at blogarithm.com. It will take you no more than half a minute and is quite free. All you have to do is visit the blogarithm site and enter the biblebaseblog URL in the "Blog URL to Watch:" space...

http://biblebase.blogspot.com/

Then whenever I add new messages or pdfs or news items etc I can put it in my blog and it will arrive in your email. Is that 'communication' or what?

Following the Seed

About 10 years ago I did a series of 13 or so Friday Night Bible Schools at a little church in Haringey, London which was mostly comprised of Greek Cypriots. They had asked for help with the Old Testament. We had two sessions each evening and completed an overview of the Old Testament. As a support for the 'lectures' I did notes on each section which included charts and diagrams and other helps.

I adopted the device of using Matthew's genealogy as a 'time line' so that we could be sure to keep things in some kind of chronlogical order so we called the series "Following the Seed"; it seemed to work well. See what you think

I have the tapes for most of the sessions and will get them into mp3s and make them available, but in the meantime you could take a look at the 'workbook' that accompanied the series.

Polish Bible Studies

We are intending to provide some messages in languages other than English. Sometimes the preacher (usually Les Wheeldon) will preach in French or German, the rest of us will preach through interpretation. The first examples are now online.

If you 'click' here "Polish Messages" you can hear Ron Bailey and his Polish 'interrupter' (Waldemar Lisieski) in a series on "the Will of God" given in the Polczynska Evangelical Church in Warsaw in May 2006.

If you know of any Polish speakers in Poland, or scattered through the world, they might be glad to hear a little of 'home' and be blessed as they listen. Non-Polish speakers may also benefit from the messages especially if English is not their mother tongue. Tell us what you think?

Website Refurbishment.

The man from the boiler room has surfaced and the result is a home website with a completely different look and feel to it. Gary, the webmaster is a full-time Christian worker in Romania and visiting the UK for a few weeks. As my webmaster, he is the man who keeps the whole ship afloat. From time to time we have a chance to do some in depth thinking and planning on the bridge and the new style site is the result.

We are setting up the site with plans for a much more comprehensive provision of Bible study preaching, teaching and general helps, including on online Bible School. Some of the links do not yet lead anywhere but be patient and all will be revealed. If you haven't actually come in through the front door and you want to see how we look, click here.

What is the BibleBase?

The Bible Base is a one-stop teaching resource for Bible students of all ages and degrees of knowledge hosted by me, Ron Bailey. Read on to see what is happening on the site.
