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 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.

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.
