Discernment: The Flourishing Lens (19/04/2026)

Women of the Torah- Sarah and Hagar

This Sunday Ralph talks about Sarah and Hagar as we continue our Women of the Torah Series. In this series, we are listening to the stories of women from the very beginning of the Bible, and thinking together about what their stories tell us about life and God in today's world.

Women of the Torah: Eve (24/05)

We are starting our new series - Women of the Torah, with Dave Parr CEO of Oasis UK as our Guest Speaker . In this introduction to our series, we look at the story of Eve. Eve has had a bad press, but does she deserve it? We will explore gender and equality at the beginning of the Bible, and reassess Eve's Place as the mother of humankind.

Discernment: Jesus lens (17/05)

Claire talks about the Jesus Lens, for our final talk of the current series. Looking at everything through the lens of Jesus and his love helps us to see what is healthy and helpful, and what we might want to question or re-interpret. This week we explore how the lens of Jesus helps us to understand the Bible and apply it to how we see and treat people who are on the margins, thinking about immigration and ethnic minorities

Discernment: Context lens (03/05/26)

Our current series continues , looking at the Context Lens. Context is so important to how we understand the Bible, and also how we understand our Christian lives. This week we explore the importance of context and use it to interpret what the Bible says about the role of women in a way that shows that maybe Jesus and Paul were feminists after all.

Discernment: The Flourishing Lens (19/04/2026)

Join us as we continue our new Series , looking at the Flourishing Lens, one of the 4 different lenses that we are using to help us to discern what are good ways to interpret the Bible and the Christian life. Jesus came so that we could live an abundant, flourishing life and yet sometimes our interpretations of the Bible lead to teaching that do not promote flourishing. This week we will think together about how to use the idea of flourishing to discern how we follow Jesus
