Hmm... So What Do You Do?
Each time we meet, we look at one small part of the Bible and discuss what we can learn from it.
This semester we’re going through the Gospel of Matthew!
The Gospel of Matthew is a book in the Bible that gives an account of the life and teachings of Jesus. The Bible, a collection of books and writings that many have come to believe as inspired by God, carries a central theme regarding the salvation of mankind from sin through God’s promised Savior. Through his book, Matthew endeavors to show that Jesus is this promised one from God, the Messiah, the Christ.
Shockingly to many of us, Jesus’s life and teachings is quite counter-intuitive and different to what we would imagine a world savior to be like. Instead of using force and control to conquer the world, Jesus shows us that self-sacrificial love and righteousness is what it takes to change the world for the better. To this end, Jesus demonstrates that what we need is a living relationship with God, who after all is the source of love and life.
If you’re interested to go through this book together with us, please come and join. We are open to new friends any time!
Wait, Can Anyone Join?
Absolutely!
Our goal is for everyone to enjoy the Bible no matter where they come from.
I'm Not Sure I Can Join Every Week...
No worries. Please come when you can. Being a student is tough for sure.
What's the Story of the Club?
In 2010, while studying at UofT, a group of friends discovered an interest for reading the Bible and coming together to talk about it. Even though they had no background in the Bible or religion in general, they decided to make this an official university club and it has continued to this day.
Why Logos Fellowship?
The word “λόγος” is Greek for “word”, with Koine Greek being one of the languages that the Bible was originally written in.
The Bible was not originally written in English. Some parts of the Bible were written in Hebrew and Aramaic, while others were written in Greek. The versions of the Bible that we find today in English (and other modern languages) were translated from the manuscripts that are originally in these languages. Understanding the cultural background and context of the people who spoke these languages are important for understanding the Bible.
The “Word of God” is a common term used to refer to the Bible. It is also a recurring concept throughout the Bible, from the creation of the universe through the word spoken by God, to the instructions on how to live as written by God on stone tablets given to Moses, to a source of life with God dwelling in us as exemplified by Jesus, God’s word come to life.
Learning to live like what the Bible teaches is not something to go through alone. In fact, neither is going through life in general. A fellowship is like a few fellows in a ship where life is like a vast ocean, full of uncertainties and sometimes scary, but as long as you have others with you, you can sail any storm and cross any sea. This is what we hope Logos Fellowship to be!
