'Rebuilders' delves into the journey of an Old Testament figure whose heart for prayer, service, compassion and the presence of God brought transformation to his community, city and nation. It's an ancient story that speaks powerfully into this modern moment and into each of our stories today!

This week, Alice (plus a few friends!) explores how each of us are called to help build out part of the wall - recognising that no individual can do it all themselves, but that we all have a unique role to play in building today for the kingdom that will endure.

This summer, we are releasing Adrian Hurst, who leads the Oasis Team, for a three month sabbatical from the beginning of June until the end of August.

This is a fantastic opportunity for him to recharge after helping to lead the community through a period of significant transition over the past few years — including the move to South Street, it’s renovation, restoration and purchase, and the COVID pandemic. 

This week, Mike takes some time to unpack the Biblical basis for sabbatical, as well as honouring Adrian, Lucy and the Hurst Family for the significant role they play in the life of Oasis.

This week, Oasis welcomed Jonathan Bell from Churchcentral Birmingham as a Guest Speaker for the morning. Jonathan and Helen moved to Birmingham in 1996, just a couple of years before Oasis began, and together they have become great friends of Oasis over the past quarter-century.

Jonathan has an incredible gift for unpacking the Bible in a way that is both profound and accessible, and his talk explores how the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed.

This week, David wraps up the series by recapping where we've been, and exploring a passage at the very end of the story. His invitation is for each of us to sit with the sadness of the broken walls, embrace the hope of restoration found in Jesus and press on even within the reality of the work never being finished.

This week, Oasis was joined by a Guest Speaker - our friend Jon Tattersall from St John's Church in Harborne. He brought a message centred around Exodus 33:7-11, with an invitation to 'linger longer' in the presence of God.
