With Rev. John Borthwick
John Borthwick leads Ministry Forum as the Director of the Centre for Lifelong Learning at Knox College. John knows intimately the ups and downs of congregational ministry. Having served in congregational ministry for 25 years, John has lived it and, as he would say at times, just survived and often thrived in this unique and challenging role. He is passionate about supporting ministry leaders as they answer the call to serve. During COVID-19, John responded to the needs he witnessed among his colleagues and friends by creating The Abbey, a virtual space for community and learning. He intends to translate his recent experience on a much larger scale as he stewards Ministry Forum. John looks forward to being available to ministry leaders - reach out to him today!
Schedule and Details
-
The Bible is a library of books, divided into two Testaments – Old and New. Together they form one story that centres on Jesus Christ.
-
Genesis is the first book of the Bible. As an ancient text, it still provides the best explanation of all the beauty and tragedy in our world.
-
Through a mass Exodus, God delivered Israel from slavery, into the Promised Land. Today, we can experience true liberation through Jesus Christ.
-
God raised up judges and kings to lead Israel. They were anointed with the Holy Spirit and foreshadowed the coming Messiah.
-
Israel experienced a dark period of division, defeat and exile. However, God raised up prophets who promised that the best was yet to come.
-
The Gospels capture the extraordinary life of Jesus Christ – Messiah, Saviour and Lord. Now this same Jesus calls to us: ‘Come, follow me!’
-
Acts tells the story of the explosive growth of early Christianity. This story continues today as we share the good news of Jesus with our world.
-
The Bible finishes with visions of a new creation. Paradise lost will be regained. Inspired by this hope, let’s make the Bible our priority until we get there!
