SUMMER SCHOOL 2026
25 Dec 2026 – 2 January 2027
Main studies:
Judges: Bro Peter Owen
The book of Judges records one of the darkest periods in Israel’s history, yet throughout its pages God continually raised up deliverers to save His people. These judges were more than historical figures—they foreshadowed the greater Deliverer to come.
This series will explore the lives of Ehud, Barak, and Gideon, considering not only the lessons of faith, courage, and dependence on God that their experiences provide, but also how their work points forward to the Lord Jesus Christ. Their victories over Israel’s enemies offer glimpses of Christ’s first coming, where sin was conquered through sacrifice, and anticipate His second coming, when He will finally overthrow every opposing power and establish God’s Kingdom on earth.
By following these remarkable records, we will see how God works through human weakness to accomplish His purpose, discover the rich prophetic patterns woven into the book of Judges, and deepen our appreciation of Jesus as the perfect Judge and Deliverer in whom every earlier saviour finds its fulfilment.
The Future Restoration of Israel: Bro Roger Lewis
”The restoration of Israel is a most important feature of the divine economy. It is indispensable to the setting up of the Kingdom of God” (Elpis Israel, Page 439).
The future restoration of Israel, is one of the most enthralling themes of Bible prophecy. It begins with the advent of Christ, and ends with the uniting of the twelve tribes in the land under his wise administration, that the millennial age might begin. These studies unfold the dramatic sequence of events outlined in scripture, by which, both the house of Judah and the house of Israel will be grafted into their own olive tree again. In the process, the Mystery of the Covenant of the Holy Land will be made plain, and our own part in this story of their restoration will be revealed.
