'Both vintage and fresh David Wilbourne . . . His] gift is to enable us to see again the face of Jesus delightfully present with us through our Lent journey.'

GRAHAM USHER, BISHOP OF NORWICH

Whatever our church denomination, we all use the same Sunday Gospel from the Revised Common Lectionary. Year A focuses on Matthew, but during the first five Sundays of Lent, four of the Gospels are curiously from John. By basing each of the five sessions in this course on the previous Sunday's Gospel, David Wilbourne provides a brilliant connection to the preaching and teaching that has just taken place.

Serious yet full of life and humour, the course covers:

Session 1: Temptation . . .

On checking every word that comes out of the mouth of God

Session 2: Strangers in the night . . .

Nicodemus came to Jesus under cover of darkness: finding God in surprising places

Session 3: The winner takes it all

'You worship what you do not know' upping our game with worship

Session 4: I was blind but now I see

'A god who can be understood is no god'

Session 5: Them bones, them bones, them dry bones, hear the word of the Lord

Contrasting events in John with parables in the Synoptics

The course booklet is accompanied by a lively CD, in which David Wilbourne and guests from various denominational backgrounds, put forward their thoughts on the themes of the course.

    Our group found the introduction on the CD a bit liberal in its attitude to the Bible, also the questions a bit woolly for being based on the Bible passage - a knowledgable and able group were able to supplement them, and there was very good applied discussion. Also the CD didn't appear to activate a counter for the tracks on the CD player or have a dedicated 'closing refection'. That's ok and the concencus was to continue the course, with the proviso of extra input...
