Exodus - The Wilderness

Exodus - The Wilderness

The event of the Exodus is fundamental to the arc of the story of the bible. This story of liberation, empire, injustice, pillars of cloud, baskets with babies in, women with tambourines has been both a source of inspiration and bewilderment. Why is God so violent? Why so vindictive? Doesn't this ancient story perpetuate the kind of harms that it's also trying to fight? It's a fascinating account, and not one that we'll do justice to in a few weeks.

This week we join the Hebrews as they journey out beyond Egypt's borders, into the unknown and precarity of 'wilderness', and have to learn in that wandering a new way of being that's more about trust and intimacy.

This week we've done it a little differently, with more voices than our podcasts often feature. You'll hear Anton retelling the story of Exodus 3 and 4, Stella reflecting on her own observations of the text, and Sam offering a sermonette on how the story invites us into new ways of seeing. Oh, and some hauntingly good music.

Journey With The Mystics - Therese of Lisieux

Journey With The Mystics - Therese of Lisieux

This Lent we're getting to know some of the stranger voices in the story of faith. The mystics are those who've pointed beyond head knowledge of God to a more intimate kind of knowing. Beyond simple statements to awe. Beyond knowable creeds to union with God. Our particular brand of protestant Christianity has largely lost this thread over the past few hundred years, and so during the six weeks of Lent we're going to learn from their experiences and teachings as best we can.

This week, Dave concludes our series looking at the 'little way' of Therese of Lisieux, and how Jesus walks his own little way, entering Jerusalem not as a military king, but a servant of love.

Paul - As Mentor

Paul - As Mentor

It's impossible to overstate the influence that Paul's letters have had on shaping the thought and practise of the Church. Way too many times, his writings have been wielded as weapons against women, enslaved people, the LGBTQIA+ community, divorcees, people of other faiths, and many more. The temptation is to just discount Paul, and focus on Jesus. But if we took a bit more of a look at his life, might we meet someone altogether unexpected?

This week, Dave looks at Paul's legacy of building communities of love, where people invest in, learn from, and above all love each other.
