Timeline Īverage rainfall, rainfall anomaly, and observed rainfall from 24 January to 8 February 2023, NIWA Late January įrom 27 January, a tropical atmospheric river carrying a long band of rain and thunderstorms lay mostly stationary over the upper North Island, blocked by a large anticyclone to the southeast of the country which prevented it from moving south across New Zealand. Significant flooding events had previously occurred in Auckland in August 2021 and March 2022. Tar seals and concrete surfaces on roads, carparks, and buildings also prevent rainwater from dispersing into the ground, causing water to pool up and surfaces to flood during heavy rain events. Īccording to Victoria University of Wellington climate scientist James Renwick and University of Auckland urban planning lecturer Timothy Welch, Auckland, along with many other areas in the country, experiences ageing stormwater infrastructure systems which are unable to cope with population growth and the impact of climate change. Before the events of 27 January, there was already sentiment brewing among some in the country that the summer of 2022–23 was the country's "worst summer ever". Heavy rain plagued the northern and eastern areas of the country through most of January, with flooding events shortly after New Year, and Cyclone Hale impacting the country on 10 and 11 January. In January 2023, Auckland and the upper North Island experienced relentless maritime heatwave conditions caused by the annual La Niña cycle and exacerbated by climate change. Minister of Finance Grant Robertson stated at the time that the event was New Zealand's costliest non-earthquake event ever. Over the following days other areas of the upper North Island were impacted. ![]() The event is considered to be the worst floods in Auckland's modern history. ![]() NIWA reported that an entire summer's worth of rain fell within one day in what it described as a 1-in-200-year event.

This doesn’t mean you can’t have a Bible study on the book of Romans. Here’s a great way to cut your Bible study attendance in half:Ĭall your Bible study “The book of Romans.”Īll the cerebral people will love it. Don’t always focus your Bible study topics on a single book Pro tip: To make it simpler to manage both your Bible studies and small groups, use a church management software with a "Groups" feature. If you do this, you’ll increase attendance at both. Keep your bible study a Bible study, and make it a topical bible study. People who want to build community will think the meeting is too stuffy and intellectual. People who want to understand God’s word will think the meeting is too fluffy and social. If you blend the two into a single meeting, no one will continue to show up. A small group is meant to help Christian communities apply what God says in personal, case-specific situations. A small group is like going to the gym and applying that knowledge to your routine.Ī Bible study is meant to be a focused engagement on understanding what God says. Studying the Bible and preparing a Bible study is like learning how to exercise from a personal trainer. Many churches treat Bible studies and small group Bible studies as the same thing-a recurring social get-together where Christians chat about life (and maybe the Bible). Don’t treat your bible study as a small group What NOT to do in a Bible studyīefore you add anything to your Bible study, you need to make sure you’re not making these common mistakes that keep attendance low.

You can build Bible studies that attract people and build sermon engagement.įirst, I’m going to give you three small tactics to change your Bible study culture. There is a high chance that if your church members don’t like the bible study topics you choose, it’s because they didn’t see the value. People will stop showing up for Bible studies that don’t add value to their lives. People will show up for Bible studies that add value to their lives. Amen.Why isn’t there a thriving Bible study culture in your church? We should be going where the people are and taking the good news of Jesus to them.ĭear Jesus, help us to be willing to go to those who need You and tell them of Your love. Instead, we need to be doing what Jesus did. We sometimes sit in our churches and wait for people to come to us so we can tell them about Jesus and His love. Is there anyone here who has never been sick? Of course not, so we all need a doctor! Who needs Jesus? (Pause for response.) Everyone does! Is there anyone here who has never sinned? No way! The Bible tells us that "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." That means we all need Jesus. Who is someone who might need a doctor? (Pause for response.) The sick need a doctor. ![]() I came to call sinners to repentance." Just like our doctors once did, Jesus went to the homes of the people who needed Him and He touched them and made them whole. Jesus heard them and answered, "It isn't those that are healthy that need a doctor, it is those that are sick. They asked His disciples, "Why does your master eat with these sinners?" The religious leaders of the day were very displeased that Jesus was even talking to such people, much less eating with them! Many of Matthew's old friends came there to listen to Jesus teach. One day Jesus went to Matthew's home to eat dinner with him. Jesus changed Matthew's life and he became one of Jesus' disciples. ![]() Tax collectors were hated in Jesus' day because they were often greedy and dishonest. One of the people that Jesus went out and ministered to was a tax collector by the name of Matthew. He went to where the people were-especially people who were hurting or had problems in their life. That's what Jesus did when He was here on earth. The doctor would carry a little black bag filled with medical supplies and go to the homes of those who were sick. There was a time when instead of going to the doctor when you were sick, the doctor would come to you instead. They might use a stethoscope like this one, or they might write you a prescription for some medication. Can anyone tell me what this is? (Pause for response.) That’s right, it’s a stethoscope! Who uses a stethoscope? (Pause for response.) Oftentimes when we’re sick or not feeling well, we go to the doctor’s office to get checked out. I’m sure that all of you have seen one of these before.
