Beginning with Godās covenants with Noah, Abram and David, these readings explore Godās ongoing mission to restore his broken creation, drawing people back to himself. Godās mission finds its fulfilment in the person and work of Jesus Christ, a mission which the church continues today.

We're jumping into the Outspoken Bible stream for this Bible 2020 theme in order to tell you about a new series of interviews linked with Hope in Suffering.
------
Welcome to Hope / Suffering ā a new series of interviews where we ask the question ā where do you find hope in times of suffering?
We've been talking to people from all over the world who have had very different life experiences, but who have all had to deal in one way or another with suffering in their lives.
And while the ways of suffering have been different, the place they look for hope is the same ā they look to the Bible.
On this episode we talk to Kellye Stelling. Kellye is Master Facilitator with Trauma Healing Institute.
Ā
Alasdair and Fiona speak to Kellye about THI, the process of confronting trauma through Biblical based counselling, and her own personal trauma that led her to wanting to know what the Bible truly says to someone about hope when they experience suffering.
You can find out more about the resources the Trauma Healing Institute have produced for the church during the coronavirus pandemic at https://scottish.bible/#embrace

We round off our mini-series on the book of Ruth asking the question - where is God? God is mentioned, but unusually for a book in the Bible, we don't actually hear from Him directly. What can we make of this story, it's place in the wider context of the Bible, and our daily experience of relationship with God?
