In this, the second of our New Year series “Open”, Chris Lane encourages us to expect great things from God and to attempt great things for God!
Talk from Chris Lane on Sunday 10th January 2016
The Jordon River posed as a great obstacle to the Israelites in their quest to obtain God’s promised land for them. Louie identifies some of the more common everyday Jordon’s we face today, and discusses how we can cross over these to inherit the promises that God has in store for us in 2016. In light that nothing is impossible for God and that He is for you, are you really going to bow down to the obstacles (Jordon’s) in your life that currently discourage you from entering Gods best for your l...
Why should we have great joy? Because in Jesus we have a saviour, a protector, a provider, one who sets addicts free, heals the broken hearted and comforts all who are grieving. He is the Master over every situation we will ever face. Will you make Lord and Master today and experience this fullness of joy?
Chris brings our Christmas talk series to a close this week, reflecting on hope as a supernatural gift that is eternal and indestructible. Hope in God is the language of promise. Hope that God gives is able to wash away disappointment and cleanse us from despondency. We pray as you listen to this Christmas talk you receive that gift of hope.
How does hope breed generosity? Jesus has given us a hope that is steadfast and certain; how does this hope affect our choices and actions? Dennis discusses how we respond by offering the best treasure we have: to regard and offer our time, energy and money as an act of worship. What will you bring him?
In the second of our Christmas talk series, Wendy takes two pivotal characters in the Christmas story: Zechariah and Mary, and looks at how their differing hopes in God leads them to completely opposite reactions. When our hope is in God and we believe in his promises, hope will undoubtedly lead to thanksgiving and a healthy gratitude.
Talk by Chris Lane on Sunday 29th November 2015
As we bring the first part of our teaching on The Blessing to an end, Chris Lane reflects on the relationship between the blessing and God the Holy Spirit.
When living under God's blessing we can experience and know his peace and protection. Kev takes us through how God's blessing is activated by faith and imparted by words, and asks us, what do we need to know God's peace and protection in?
We're all called to lead a life of significance - but how? In this talk Mark looks at how God makes His abundant provision available to us, so that we can walk in our God-given potential and fulfil His purpose for our life.
To be blessed is a core desire for every human being. It’s astonishing how far we will go to get it. But it’s more astonishing how far God went to give us it to us. As people who've stepped into God's blessing through Jesus, Richard provokes us to ask ourselves, why have we been blessed? For what purpose?
An introduction to a Vineyard 'signature series'. Chris Lane encourages us to believe that God the Father’s promise of blessing upon the patriarch Abraham, has been passed on to us through our unity with Christ.
To come home is to reconnect with who we are. It’s where our roots are found, where we are known and make ourselves known; it should be a place of safety. Coming home to God therefore means we return to receive His light, life and love as we overcome our fears of rejection and shame. This week Dennis asks us what are the lies and fears we live under which need to be brought into God's light? As we step into this light, we experience God's love and affirmation for who we are - and not just for wh...
We finish The Land Between series on the same week that we host this year's Global Leadership Summit. Chris draws on some GLS15 stories about leaders who are emerging around the world; people who are leading forgiveness and reconciliation at a national level, and pointing people to Jesus. We hear from one of our own FEED team about how God is drawing people here to receive His love and care. This talk gives a great insight into what God is doing here and how Phase 2 is going to serve our Growing...
In this series Chris has talked about those challenges we face whilst in the ‘land between’. God’s blessings to us in this place include provision, protection and presence, but there is a greater blessing that God is working into our lives, and that is uniting us as ‘a people’, His people.
As we walk further into Phase 2 of our Growing Family, we discover that 'the land between' is in fact a fertile land, full of God's provision, protection and God's presence.
As we regather after the summer break, Chris Lane updates us on how far we’ve come and where we presently are in Phase 2 of our Growing Family Campaign. Make sure you watch the 3D walk through video on our website. Talk by Chris Lane on Sunday 20th September 2015.
Kev Nash concludes our Apostles talk series with a look at the ordinariness of Philip.
Wendy looks at not one apostle but three! Three apostles with different characters and backgrounds but the same passion and dedication for following Jesus - and the same name: James. How can we see current victory in present trials? Give blessings instead of curses? Experience vital living instead of merely existing? As Wendy examines some key themes from the Bible's letter of James, she addresses how these can transform our lives for good.
What's In A Name by Chris Lane
We continue our Apostle talk series with, arguably the most famous of Jesus’ twelve disciples, Judas Iscariot. In this talk we look at how Judas’ expectation of Jesus’ purpose was in conflict with reality. Jesus’ intention and plan to bring the Kingdom of God into the world contrasted fundamentally with what Judas imagined it to be. As a result Judas attempted to control Jesus, which soon took a dark turn. Through Judas’ story, Richard challenges us to consider whether we currently have our own ...
The apostle Paul was a man who, through faith and perseverance, learned to trust in God’s words and promises rather than the limited depths of his own understanding and reasoning. He was a great example of how we can be calm in the midst of a storm. So whatever storms we face – whether as individuals or as the community of God’s people – we can like Paul, experience peace in the middle of turmoil as we put our trust in God.
Jesus calls us to take risks and launch into the beautiful deep where our feet don't touch the ground! This is an exciting place to be - but also renders totally dependent on him. Our guest speaker this month, Simon Fordham, poses the question: are you willing to go deeper than you've ever been before?
This week Chris Lane look at the apostle John, who in his own gospel commonly refers to himself as 'the beloved disciple'. We learn a bit more about John and his relationship with Jesus as well as the other disciples. As we do, we begin to understand that John's desire to follow Jesus was free from ulterior or ambiguous motives; and this experienced freedom impacted his capacity to believe and receive Jesus’ love and acceptance.
We’re delighted to welcome Wendy Howson to start our summer series The Apostles.
Cross Culture by Chris Lane
Chris Lane encourages us to attend this year’s Global Leadership Summit, hosted by the St Albans Vineyard on Fri 9th & Sat 10th October. He encourages us to use the summit as an opportunity and tool to consider the state of our heart and identify how we view God and ourselves.
