Does God still speak to us today? How do I recognise if it’s His voice, or just my own?
In a noisy and distracted age, how do we recognise the word of God – and how do I know if what I’m ‘hearing’ is the word of God, or just the voice of my own heart?
As a Christian, should I be supporting Israel, Palestine, or just be neutral?
As wars rage in the Middle East and opinions divide, we are confronted with the question of how we should respond. What does God have to say about war in general, and what might he have to say about this one in particular?
Is it okay to believe in evolution? And if yes, where to draw the line with Darwinian theory?
How should we read the ancient text of the Bible in light of our ever-expanding scientific knowledge? Does evolution contradict the Bible, or just help us understand it better?
As Christians, how can we be sure that what we believe is true and that what others believe is not?
Jesus claimed to be ‘the way, the truth and the life’ – but isn’t that arrogant? Aren’t all religions basically the same – a different path to the same destination, shaped by the perspectives of the particular time and culture we live in? Or is it possible that we’re wrong? How do we assess all of these truth claims?
Can I be queer and Christian? Is there a space for queer Christians in the church?
In a culture where LGBTQ+ people are affirmed and celebrated, the church often seems critical and judgmental. What does the Bible say on these issues and to people wrestling with their identity? How should Christians live out these truths in their communities today?
How do we share Christianity with friends who are successful and going well in life?
Many people around us are going pretty well in life; they’re kind, they help others, they are successful and have purpose – so why (and how) do you share the good news of Jesus with people when they seem to be doing fine without it?
Should women teach, preach and be pastors?
The roles and responsibilities of women and men in the church have been the source of much debate and controversy since the early church – so what does the Bible really say about it all? What do we know about God’s design for men and women in ministry, and how do we live that out here at City on a Hill?
How should Christians respond to the ‘Woke’ movement?
‘Woke’ is a term we hear a lot and yet its definition is hard to pin down. Where does it come from – and how should the church respond to it? Do we celebrate it or resist it? It’s worth asking – what would Jesus affirm and would he confront? And what is the way forward from here?
