Romans 10:9 ‘If you see something that doesn’t look right’… That could be the harsh reality of the world we live in – so much of it doesn’t look right! But the solution suggested by the British Transport Police is surprisingly similar to the meaning of Easter, ‘See it, say it, sorted.’
Various We all love stories. But as we get older, we wonder if there is a bigger story of which we are part, which gives meaning to our lives. The Bible reveals this bigger story, in which the main character is Jesus. The mini-stories in the Old Testament are part of this bigger story and point to him, as we see in this talk which focuses on Jacob, Joseph, and Judah.
Various How would you sum up in one word your philosophy of life, your beliefs? What would be the one word for someone who is a Christian? Christianity is about Christ; the Bible is about Christ; even the Old Testament is about Christ. As we continue to explore Jesus in Genesis, this talk focuses in on the stories of Noah, Abraham, and Isaac.
Psalm 1 Of all the many ways our world says we can live, did you realise that it really comes down to just two? While from our perspective it looks like there are lots of paths our life could take, from God’s perspective, there are just two.
Various How do we see Jesus more clearly? Not just by reading the Gospels, but by paying attention to the Old Testament Scriptures, which bear witness to him. In this talk we continue our journey through Genesis, exploring how it points to Jesus.

What do you think about the Bible? While millions of people treat the Bible as a book to be respected, as a message from God for all of creation, for others it is divisive and out of date. For others still it is a repository of texts weaponised in culture wars. But what actually is the message of the Bible? And is it a message for you? In this talk, we will look at an overview of the Bible’s message and consider how inclusive it is.
Various What happens when we die? Some think that death is the end; others that everyone goes to a better place. The Bible says that after death comes judgment, and hell. This is what we need saving from. This is why Jesus came.
This seminar is for all women who work in the Wharf, to help each other to consider how to apply Jesus’ greatest commands in our workplaces.
Various Confessing that we are sinners, and asking God for mercy through Jesus, is how we enter the kingdom of God. But how does anyone get from thinking they are essentially good and en route to a better place, to recognizing that they are sinners heading for judgement? This is the first talk in a series of two called ‘Crime & Punishment’.
