In the third part of our Advent Series, Rebekah looks again at Mary but challenges us to consider how she is presented in Luke's gospel and the recount of her proclamation/song/prophesy and it's impact in the modern age and for us today.

This series is inspired by 'Women of the Nativity' written by Paula Gooder.

In the second part of our Advent Series, Heidi looks at two women whose names we know and who are familiar characters in the Nativity, but she looks closer at the dynamic of their relationship and what we can learn from them today.

This series is inspired by 'Women of the Nativity' written by Paula Gooder.

Paula Gooder launches our Advent Series by introducing us the 'Women of the Nativity', based on her book by the same name. Paula invites us to think about the named women we know well, the named women we don't know too much about and the unnamed or unnoticed women who were also present at the Nativity. During Advent we hope to get to know some of these women a little better.

Michelle brings our series "Why did Jesus say that?" to a close with Jesus telling his followers not to worry. It's seems straight forward but it can feel hard to live out. Michelle widens the lens and reminds us, context is everything.

Jill Rowe continues our series 'Why did Jesus say that?' looking at Jesus' statement "I did not come to bring peace but a sword." It seems like a difficult message on Remembrance Sunday!

Continuing our series "Why did Jesus say that?" Steve Chalke looks at what Jesus said about divorce and marriage, it seems simple but he explores the context and the religious debate that was happening at the time. The implications of what Jesus said includes us all.

Bible text: Matthew 5:31-32, 19:3-9

Rebekah continues our series 'Why did Jesus say that?' by exploring an incident record in the gospel of Mark. It involves Jesus breaking Jewish religious laws and crossing boundaries to go to an "unclean place", to meet an "unclean man", engaging with "unclean spirits" and "unclean animals" - but why?!

Nathan launches our new series 'Why did Jesus say that?' We look at the passages where Jesus is reported to have said some rather challenging things. What did Jesus really say and mean?

We start looking at Matthew 25:31-46, this passage seems to talk about a final judgement and the separation of people like 'sheep and goats', doesn't it?

As a companion to the last part of our Seasons Change series, Nathan has created this short Contemplative Exercise to help you think about what stage you are at in your spiritual journey.

This was inspired by "Listening to your life" by Julia Moraunt, 2016.

Nathan brings our Seasons Change series to a close, encouraging us to reflect on our personal spiritual journeys. There is a contemplative exercise that follows, which you may want to use to explore things further. Bible text: Hebrews 11
