Light & Life
 Welcome to Light & Life - a reading plan that will take you through the inspiring story told by Luke in his two-part account. The plan is based around the key events in the Christian calendar and uses 'Mary's Diary' as a narrative thread. From this and the associated Bible readings we hope you will gain a fresh insight into the story of what God has done to redeem us - and rediscover your place in the story.
Light & Life is linked into our Christmas teaching series and also to key events in the life of SBC leading to Easter. We see this as a great resource for use as individuals, but even more in families, small-groups or ministry teams.
About the reading plan
For the most part, there is one new reading a week - each comprising a Bible passage together with a number of extracts from 'Mary's Diary' to give background to the story. There are also some notes to help you and your group explore the message more fully. As we approach critical seasons such as Christmas and Easter there are more readings each week, but none should take more than 15 minutes to read - although they may take longer to prayerfully respond to!
How to use Light & Life
Each day that a new reading becomes available, it will appear below, alternatively you can click on the calendar to see the entry for that day or to show when the next reading is. Below the calendar will be a list of recent readings in case you need to catch up! Finally, if you can't wait for November, or if you prefer to have the whole set at once, you can download it as a Word document containing the 'diary' and the reading notes from the panel on the right.
About Mary's Diary
Mary's Diary itself is a work of imagination. That said, it is not in essence a work of fiction. It is rooted in the acounts written by Luke (the gospel and 'Acts') with some material from the other gospels. It is researched with regards the cultural context of the time and my imagination has been restricted to a thorough Biblical framework. Some of the extracts have songs associated with them which you can listen to as part of the Diary, or seperately using the links opposite.
