Peter & Sarah Sholl



Peter and Sarah Sholl are our new link missionaries. They work for CMS, and will next year be departing for Mexico to head the Moore College PTC Course into Spanish (for Latin America).


Please pray for them:

* Sarah: humble and prayerfully dependent upon God during this transition time.

* Sarah: they are in the middle of transition, kids, new country. etc

* Peter: 6 months of deputation, lots of opportunies but stress (pray for energy + patience)

* Peter: organisational structures and issues to do with the job (ie: Visa's, approvals, structure in new country).

Hebrews Bible Studies

We've been learning from the book of Hebrews recently at TBT. For those interested, there are some great bible studies available in January's edition of the Briefing. They cover chapters 1 through 7, and are well worth a look.

Either look in your bookcase for those who are already subscribed, or subsribe here (although you wont get Jan 2008 by subscribing now).

TBT Winter School Wrap: Grace Alone

Last night at TBT Winter School we looked at the Reformation's 1st big idea that changed the World - Grace Alone.


It is by Grace Alone through which we are saved. It is not anything in us, or us, or because of us. It is in spite of us that God saves us. It is purely God's grace, or generosity that saves us.

We looked at Ephesians 2, in particular verse 8: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God [...].


Last night, our featured Theologian was John Calvin, details about him can be found here.

If you wish to read some of the best writings from the Reformation, you can purchase The Classics of the Reformation, here (which contains excerpts from all 4 of our featured theologians - Calvin, Luther, Tyndale and Cranmer).

Or, you can download the Essence of the Reformation, for $5 from here.

If you wish to read Calvin's Institutes, referenced last night, you can read them here.


The book reviewed by Mandy last night was Ray Galea's Nothing in My Hand I Bring, which you can buy here, or at the Cathedral bookshop.

And lastly, the interview with Ray Galea, can be found here.

Dinner at TBT

Since its the first Sunday of the month, after TBT this week we'll be sharing together in a meal. There will be no break and no supper. So, don't have dinner beforehand, and do have dinner together afterwards.

It will be a great tomato concoction, and it will be yummy!

See you there.
