With Rob explores the nature of God, the connectedness of the Universe and his thoughts could change...well...everything!

Drawing on inspiration from Plato, Alice in Wonderland and Quantum Physics, Rob led us in a morning, discussing the essence and expression of our community.

It's The Climb by QYork

Q Revisited - Don't Burn The Guitar - An Ode To Perspective by QYork

Jenny, Danny, Kev and Joel reflect on what we've heard over the last month at Q.

Liminal Space by QYork

It can be easily observed that the pursuit and expression of our faith may take on different forms at various stages in our lives. Can these stages be observed and understood in ways that help us take on new dimensions to our faith, in the same way that a tree adds rings over time? This message draws on thinking from writers such as Brian McLaren and Richard Rohr to question the earlier structures to our faith that may support us well for a time, but then fall short. This message will challenge you, if you let it, but there is great beauty to be found within and beyond any perplexity, when we keep walking. Catch the whole picture on the blog at QYork.co.uk

Is the Christian story defined by and limited to one collection of books or is it bigger than that? One of the New Testament writers wrote that we are living epistles and as we approach life and faith with intelligence and critical thinking we may find that The Bible is still on the move...

Explore 3 roles that we can play in life and how we can escape the drama triangle!

In this week’s inspiring message you will hear about Christ, the vision of the whole; fear as a motivating ingredient that stops us embracing more than one string to our fiddle; and the unromanticised life of a pioneer spirit, which must empty the wagon of old identities and beliefs in order to truly live a Christ-following life with people, not just from a briefcase of facts.

Why is life so unfair, why are we afraid of missing out and how do we find our flow?

The Secret Ingredient is YOU! - Sunday 4th September 2022 by QYork

The famous White Paintings of the Minimalist Artists demonstrate how the same thing can hold a different meaning for each of us. How do we find meaning in the world and in our faith? Are we seeing as we're told or can we embrace the philosophy "What you see, is what you see"?

"If you remove the element of doubt you'll never get free of the prison of belief."
