The Falling Of Dusk - Why? - Dave Steell
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, Dave gives space to consider Jesus' cry 'Why?'

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.

Lent - A Journey With The Mystics - St. John Of The Cross
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 for the next six weeks we're going to learn from their experiences and teachings as best we can.
This week, Sam speaks about St. John of the Cross' experience of the 'Dark Night'. Full text of the poem 'The Dark Night' by St. John Of The Cross can be found at http://www.catholictreasury.info/books/dark_night/dn1.php

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.

Paul - The Damascus Road
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, Sam looks at how Paul's life was turned completely upside down by an experience of meeting Jesus.
