So often the church is known for burning people out or asking too much of us when life is already busy and demanding. Jo Dolby explores how we can strike a healthy balance in being involved, and contributing as we participate in the life of the church, as well as not forgetting to rest and look after ourselves.

Why does the bible often use metaphors for talking about what our participation in community should look like, and what can we learn from those metaphors? Continuing our ‘Hands In’ speaking series, Amanda Higgin unpacks some of those metaphors, and helps us work out what they might say about the part we can play.

As part of our Partnership Sunday our minister in training, Amanda Higgin, shares her thoughts about what 'The Body of Christ' may mean.

Jo Dolby speaks on ‘What is this church?’ What is Oasis Church Bath all about, how does it differ from other churches and why is that important? What might we need to focus on in the year ahead?

Rob Trickey asks the question what is The Church? (big C!) What’s the purpose of the church, and why does it exist? Why is it so important to Christian faith and how should we understand and define it?

If we’re born good and we don’t need saving or rescuing because of original sin, why did Jesus come? This Sunday at Oasis Church Bath, Rob Trickey asks how can we reframe our understanding of Jesus and his purpose on earth in the light of original blessing?

We’ve spent the last few months exploring how we’re ‘already good’, in contrary to the traditional view of original sin. Jo Dolby brings this all together and asks – what now? How can our lives look different and how can we put into practice all we’ve learned through this series?

We were excited to have been joined by psychotherapist, author and speaker Jo Hargreaves, as she helps us understand the neuroscience of goodness and blessing. What happens when our starting point is our belovedness rather than our brokenness? How does it impact our wellbeing and mental health when we live out of that place?

Some think the idea of original sin comes from a certain interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis. Ian Spence revisits this famous story, and helps us understand it through a lens of original blessing.

We were joined on the sofa by retired Bishop and friend of Oasis, Paul Bayes. Paul shares some of his own journey, sharing stories and experiences from his time as a Bishop, and reflecting on our recent speaking series topics.
