A New CBR Journal for 2022
There are some exciting changes coming to the latest edition of the Community Bible Reading Journal! Find out more…
Here at Redeemer we believe that the Bible is the word of God, and that reading it daily equips us as Christians to honour and follow God in everything that we do. We also believe that however long you have been following Jesus, be it 5 minutes or 50 years, there are always new things that we can learn from every passage of scripture.
That is why we encourage everyone to not just read the bible daily, but to share with others at Redeemer how the word of God has impacted, challenged and encouraged us each day. We do this with the help of the Community Bible Reading (CBR) Journal, which leads us to a chapter of the Old & New Testament each day, and encourages us to write down our thoughts on the passages, and share them with others.
In order to better equip people to read the bible daily, and benefit from the incredible wisdom it holds, there are some changes happening with the CBR Journal, which will be seen in the new journals published for the beginning of 2022. We’ll have these journals available soon at Redeemer!
You can hear all about these changes from the founder - Ted Sinn - below.
If you would like more information on how we use the CBR Journal at Redeemer please email hello@redeemerlondon.org.
We are also running a meetup this term for men who would like to follow the CBR reading plan together! Sign up to that group, or any of our others below!

Get thinking.
At the end of November we have close friend of the church Matt Hosier returning to speak at our Sunday meeting. Matt and his wife Grace first visited Redeemer a year ago to preach about eldership, and to stand with and pray for our church as we started a new chapter of our story.
Matt is a gifted preacher. Just as he served us so well last November, we’re anticipating he’ll bring a combination of theological clarity and heartfelt encouragement this November!
Those who were at the Advance conference earlier in October will know he’s a wise, measured and phenomenally well read theological thinker, and it’s with that in mind that I wanted to point you in the direction of an excellent website to which he often contributes, Think Theology.
“Think” describes itself as a “collaboration of thinkers and writers who are passionate about the Church, and who enjoy spending time wrestling with deep theological questions and helping others to engage with them.” Matt, Jennie Pollock (another speaker from the recent Advance conference in fact), and Andrew Wilson produce the majority of the content for the site and you’ll find roughly a post per day on a broad range of topics.
Looking back at posts over the last two weeks you’ll see posts covering social media, wisdom in engaging politically, sexual identity, reading well, TV show theology, book reviews and Psalms.
Whether you’re starting to explore theology for the first time or looking to expand your regular reading, posts from Matt and others at Think are worth your time. I find they’re perfect for the commute, and regularly engage the mind, the emotions and stir the spirit. Enjoy.
