Read the Bible in 2025
Do you want a meaningful New Year's resolution? Have you always wanted to read through the whole Bible but never got round to it? Will you resolve to find time to study a Bible passage and spend time praying every day?
Please check the Reading the Bible section of the Church website, updated for 2025. We have compiled a list of links to many resources, including books and study notes, apps and websites, for phones, tablets and smart speakers. Many of the plans will take you through the whole Bible in a year.
If you don't own a Bible to read, please contact the Church Office and we will make sure you receive one, in English or Traditional Chinese.
Hope Explored
There are few emotions more powerful than hope. But these days, hope often feels hard to come by. Where can we find a hope that won’t disappoint us?
Hope Explored looks at the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in Luke’s Gospel. This three-session series shows that Christianity is about real hope: a joyful expectation for the future, based on true events in the past, which changes everything about my present.
- When: Mondays 13th, 20th and 27th January @ 7.45pm
- Where: St. John’s Church Centre
- What: The structure of each session is simple: we’ll watch a short introductory film; discuss the theme; watch a film on Luke’s Gospel and then explore the passage & video together.
- Who: For anyone who’d like to explore a hope that will last. Perhaps you've been to one of our Christmas services and want to know more about what is means to be a Christian.
You can watch the short course trailer on YouTube.
