Oasis Church Birmingham: Talks

In John 17, Jesus dedicates his final prayer before heading to the cross to praying for the UNITY of those who have centred their lives on him. This isn't random: the unity of God's people has been a core theme of the story of the Bible. The sad reality though is that across that story and across the history of the church, the call to unity is not one we have lived up to. In this short series, we'...

This week, we had the joy of welcoming Melanie Crane, from Real Life Church in Sutton Coldfield - also part of the Catalyst family of Churches - to share with us.

Rather than seeking to be everything and do everything in their own strength, they created a Spirit-filled community - one where the power and presence of the Holy Spirit was central to everything they did. 2000 years later, the invitation for today's followers...

“A wilderness season is a time of testing, stripping, and formation in which familiar supports are removed so that deeper dependence on God can be established. It is often marked by hiddenness, waiting, or hardship — yet it serves as a place of encounter, transformation, and preparation for future fruitfulness.” This week, Guest Speaker Wendy Mann explores what it means to be in a wilderness seaso...

Keep on sinning so God can keep on forgiving? I should hope not! If we’ve left the country where sin is sovereign, how can we still live in our old house there? Or didn’t you realize we packed up and...
