How To Be Right - Politics
In what seems like an increasingly divided society, what does it look like to 'be right'? How do we hold opinions that we're passionate about and manage to bring people with us rather than pushing them away? How can we learn from those with whom we feel like we've got nothing in common?
This week Fran and Avril discuss articulating our own political standpoints whilst having generosity for others.

The Falling Of Dusk - Thirst - Fran Beckett
It's Lent - an invitation to go to places that aren't comfortable to find the God who seems to be found more easily in the wilderness than in the comfort. On the cross, Jesus speaks seven 'words' as darkness falls on the land. Paradoxically, in the darkness of that moment and those words, we're invited to see the light and voice of God. Through lent we're reading the book 'The Falling Of Dusk' by Paul Dominiak, and learning from Jesus' seven last words as he hangs on the cross. This week Fran leads us in looking at the phrase 'I thirst'.

Discipleship - Windows and Mirrors - Dave Steell
'Come, follow me'. The invitation of Jesus is an invitation to follow, to learn, to grow, to become. That said, we've not always done a great job of learning from Christ. Often, discipleship has become about leaders enforcing their own perceptions of what someone's life should look like. At other points, the church has completely omitted to mention that Jesus asks us not just to 'believe' but also to live more and more like the one we say we believe in.
Dave finishes our series with a look at what discipleship looks like in community.

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.

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.
