In 2026, we are reading trhrough the Bible in a year. All of us are encouraged to download the app called The Bible with Nicky & Pippa Gumbel and to read a section every day. Alongside this, we have sermons exploring the books we are reading, and monthly meetings for discussion. There is also a WhatsApp group for instant reaction.

Nick launched the series with two stories from the early chapters of Genesis. Dwelling on the bad news of human rebellion and murderous jealousy, contained within the grim stuff is a remarkable promise: a “seed” who will one day crush the power of evil, while sustaining a mortal blow himself. Who could this “seed” be? We will see many candidates presnting themselves, but each time our hopes will be dashed as they fall short. In this way, the Bible builds anticipation to a remarkable level, until a carpenter’s son fulfils the ancient promises in a quite unexpected way.
