The story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch is one that begins by highlighting the exclusion of those who are different by the religious authorities, and ends with the jubilation of those on the margins being fully welcomed into God's Kingdom. Through this story, Nick considers the barriers preventing many people from feeling fully welcomed into our churches, and the need to learn how to better communicate the Good News to all people.

In the second part of our look at the journey of Jacob, Jamie explores how the theme of 'return' sheds light on our idea of 'repentance', as Jacob must wrestle with God, his past and his character in order to find reconciliation for his future.

In many ways Jacob's dream at Bethel marks the beginning of his transformation, from a fleeing deceiver to the father of a nation. Jamie looks at the idea of 'the quest' as a metaphor for how we approach our lives, and take hold of the purposes that God has created us for and called us to.

On this Pentecost Sunday Jamie looks at the battle fought by the Israelites during the Exodus at Rephidim, and asks what this reveals about their evolving relationship with God. He suggests that this story has much to teach us about the way God partners with his children to act in the world.

Retired Baptist minister Richard Starling continues this series with 'The Way of Generosity.' If there are any positives to come out of the current 'lockdown' situation, surely one of them is the way that people have been moved in compassion and generosity towards one another. This impulse points to something deeply true about what it means to be fully a human being, made in the image of God. Generosity is key to understanding the heart of God and to unlocking an authentic and life-giving response to Him.

This Sunday, Nick focused on the Israelite's journey of exile to and from Babylon. We look at the prophets Jeremiah and Ezra, and how we as Jesus followers are called to find a 3rd way in navigating life's challenges, particularly in this time of lockdown.

Throughout the Bible there is a message of hope to the poor, the outsiders, the marginalised and the despised. Yet we can still find ourselves pushing certain characters and stories to one side, or regarding them with negativity. Jamie explores how one such story can challenge our innate tribalism, and encourages to recover these wonderful biblical narratives afresh, with creativity and hope-filled imagination.

As we continue our series ’The Way', Nick tackles the book of Jonah, highlighting different themes from Jonah’s journey that are still incredibly relatable to us today. Tune in as we ask the questions of 'What is our Tarshish?' and 'Who is our Nineveh?’, whilst exploring how Jonah’s big journey reminds us that we are called to be God’s modern day prophets.

In this talk, Jamie explores the famous journey of Abraham and Isaac to Moriah, where God has apparently told Abraham to sacrifice his son. This story can be intensely troubling and raises many questions - not least of which are about how we read our Bible and how we should interpret it. Jamie makes a case that a truly faithful reading of scripture puts Christ at the very centre.

This is the first of a new series looking at how some biblical journeys speak to our journeys... and how God meets us along the way. In a famous post Resurrection scene, Jesus meets two disciples on the way to Emmaus. What does this encounter have to teach us about times of defeat, dismantling our categories, following Jesus with 'head, hands and heart' and recognising him in the glimpses?
