Bible Basics

Bible Basics

For this year’s Bible Basics, we are doing something a bit different. In the past we have looked at specific Gospels and letters of Paul, and even the entirety of the Old Testament last year!

This series has focused down on just three chapters of Matthew’s gospel – Chapters 5 to 7 which comprise the ‘Sermon on the Mount’. This passage offers the most comprehensive and coherent example of Jesus’ teaching in the New Testament, and provides us with a model for the upside-down Kingdom values that Jesus taught. The ‘Sermon on the Mount’ includes the Beatitudes (“Blessed are the ...”), the Lord’s Prayer and the Golden Rule (“Do unto others ...”). This block of Jesus’ teaching offers many of the foundational values of our faith and so repays careful and deeper study.

‘Bible Basics’ is intended to offer a fairly gentle entry into Bible Study and is aimed at those curious to find out some of the basic stories and themes of the Bible. ‘Bible Basics’ will take place on Tuesday mornings at 10.30am in the Guild Room and will last around 60 – 90 minutes. The relevant materials will be provided.

Lent StudiesLent Studies 2026 'Gravity Defied' - based on the film 'Wicked'


The Minister will be leading a series of Lent Studies entitled 'Gravity Defied', based on the film 'Wicked'.

The course explores a number of themes relevant to each of us in the contemporary world, including recognising what is good and right and standing up for it, the temptations of success, popularity and respectability, and the importance of friendship and solidarity.

The studies will run on four Tuesday evenings: Tuesdays 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st March at 7.30pm.

If you are interested in coming along please let the Minister or the Office know, or just turn up on the night(s)!

There will be an advance ‘screening’ of the film on the evening of Tuesday 24th February at 7.00pm (film is over 2 ½ hours long!) and all are welcome to this too, even if you cannot make it along to any, or all, of the Lent Studies.  We might even have popcorn!
