Curso Bíblico Online

By Susannah Catlin • 06 Jan, 2020
De acordo com o Evangelho segundo São Mateus, João Batista clamava no deserto para que preparassem o caminho do Senhor, endireitando as suas veredas. ‘O machado já está posto à raiz das árvores e toda árvore que não produz bom fruto é cortada e lançada no fogo. Em verdade eu vos baptizo com água... mas depois de mim vem alguém mais poderoso do que eu. Ele vos baptizará com o Espírito Santo e com fogo’. Mat 3:1-11 O QUE SIGNIFICA ser baptizado com o Espírito Santo e com fogo? O que tem o baptismo de fogo haver com raízes na Bíblia? Qual é a relevância deste baptismo para os nossos dias? Que tipo de fruto busca Deus em nossa vida? Neste estudo preparado e apresentado pela Reitora Susannah Catlin da River Bible Academy, no Reino Unido, estas e outras perguntas são respondidas com um profundo conhecimento das Sagradas Escrituras de modo a facultar uma compreensão e aplicação objectiva para o crescimento e maturidade Cristã, com base nos princípios de fé e amor. O curso decorrerá ao longo de cerca de 20 semanas, em Português, à quinta-feira, com duração de sessão de 40 minutos em vídeo conferencia por meio do link de convite através da Zoom. O curso é grátis e começa dia 23/01/2020 às 20:00. É necessário se inscrever mandando um email com o nome, apelido e endereço electrónico para: rivericf.info@gmail.com . Este curso é de especial interesse para aqueles que se definem como discípulos de Jesus.

Mission Forum

By Susannah Catlin • 03 Aug, 2019
In March 2019 Cyclone Idai wrecked havoc through central and northern Mozambique leaving the livelihoods of millions affected. Whilst relief operations have been forthcoming, few consider how the message of the Gospel brings new hope and peace to those who are suffering. Pastor Daniel, our mission-partner, is a true visionary and shepherd who goes looking for God's lost sheep even in the midst of a flood.

The Pastor's Faith Blog

Some have asked me why come to Bristol to plant a new church? Several years ago I felt the Lord call me to return to the country of my birth—England. I had immigrated with my parents to South Africa as a child, where I grew up, got saved and then served the Lord as a missionary. When praying further about the Word of the Lord, as a family we decided to make an exploratory trip to the UK in the 2010 and Bristol was the city we fell in love with. Historically Bristol has been a key city in major moves of God such as the Great Awakening with George Whitefield and John Wesley. Bristol has a great heritage in works of faith and God’s Kingdom, but what inspires me the most is Bristol’s prophetic destiny. We believe God is already pouring out His Spirit in the city but wants to increase that momentum and measure to reach levels of city-wide and nation-wide awakening. 2019 is a strategic year for the UK. The fields are ripe unto harvest. Churches must get ready for what God is about to do. We’re delighted to be in Bristol to be a part of all that the Lord has in mind.
