"Discover what it means when Jesus chooses YOU.
This is the official companion study to season 1 of The Chosen, the groundbreaking television series about the life of Jesus. What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? parallels each episode, connecting readers to the Bible in a brand-new way.
You will learn how to:
-
•Take a deeper look at Isaiah 43 and its fulfillment in Jesus and the lives of His followers (including us!).
-
•Have script excerpts, quotes, and illustrations from the show.
-
•Helpful guiding questions for groups or individuals.
Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications—although it says even more about the Chooser than the chooses.
We are loved because He’s love.
We are saved because He’s merciful.
We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen nation.
What does it actually mean to be Chosen? To answer that question, we’re going Old school—Testament that is—which leads us back to the New. Which always leads us directly to Jesus."

We are delighted to announce that Paul Langham, chair of the new Wine Trustees, will be speaking at our next DEF day on 3 October at Abbotsbury Church, Newton Abbot, TQ12 2NF from 12noon to 2pm. His theme will be "hearing what the Spirit is saying to the churches". Please bring your own lunch and if you are able, please park in the town centre, rather than at the church. This meeting will also include a very short AGM for the DEF - please let me know if you want to find out more about joining the committee.

Please do publicise this event as widely as you can. The attached Facebook flyer gives the information that you need, and please pray that we will indeed hear what the Spirit is saying to the church at this time.
This is also a reminder that there is an August prayer meeting for Exeter DEF on Thursday 20th August at 1pm. The Zoom code is as follows:
