Canterbury Vineyard Church

This week we continue our series, "All Yours." This is meant as a prayer for more of God in more of us! This week we deal with Matthew 16:24 in context and first tackle the phrase, "deny yourself." What does Jesus mean? What does it not mean? How do we begin to grow in this? Enjoy.

This week discuss "connections." Solid ones. Weak ones. Deeply rooted connections and shallow, fragile connection. In John 8:31-33 and John 15:3-8 we see that the kind of connection that Jesus is asking for is captured by the word "Abide." But do we know that word actually means? Is our understanding of it a bit weak? We hope this talk challenges, inspires and changes the way you look at your rela...

This week we dig deeply into Matthew 18:21-35 to understand Jesus' priority for and motivation for "Forgiveness." Why is there so little difference to how Christians and non-Christians deal with conflict? Have we realised the miracle of our forgiveness? Enjoy.

After our Summer break Jim comes back to finish our series with a discussion of the 3rd element that holds us back in our pursuit of "Hearing from God." This week he discusses "how to distinguish between His Voice and our voice." We look at Hebrews 11:6 and Matthew 11:27-30. Enjoy!

This week Jim tackles the second lie that holds us back from a normal conversational lifestyle with God: "Something is wrong with ME." To do this he explores the Truth of our "Qualification" from Scripture and examines how we might come to "know" this more than merely intellectually. Enjoy.

This week Mark Iles does a second week in this series going further in his equipping you for "Hearing God's Voice." He discusses: "Being Family," "Living by Faith," "Standing Your Ground" and "Don't Panic!" Such good stuff. Get your notebooks ready! Enjoy.

This week Jim begins to explore the lies that hold us back from hearing God. Did you know that God is always speaking to you? As sure as the stars are above - whether we can see them or not - God is speaking. A relationship with God depends on mutual communication! This week we deal with the lie "I can't hear God." Enjoy.

This week Mark Iles kicks off our Summer Series, "You can hear from God" with this fabulous exploration of "How to LISTEN to God." Enjoy.

This week our video is a combination of Jim teaching about "the filling of the Holy Spirit" and how we need it frequently! Daily! Constantly! And then some prophecy leading into a special time of prayer ministry for people to experience the filling of the Spirit. Enjoy!

This week we tackle Ephesians 1:15 -19 and discuss what is meant by "the eyes of our heart" and the centrality of the heart as key to receiving God's Love and becoming Love. This relatively unknown Truth just might be key to how the West, in light of the Enlightenment, has come to miss so much about the Christian Life. Enjoy.  This was given on 17th May 2026.

This week Daniel brings the second part of this two part exploration of what Spiritual Growth looks like through the lens of Jesus' Parable of the Soils in Matthew 13. This was given on 10th May 2026.

This week we explore Vulnerability and our choice to either "numb ourselves" or to choose "Courage." We are aided in this discussion by Dr. Brene Brown and her 2010 TedTalk from Houston. (This used as a Fair Use). Why should we explore Vulnerability instead of Hiding? Why is Vulnerability helpful in freeing us from Shame's grip? Enjoy.

This Easter Sunday we explore how Jesus' death and resurrection affects more than our Sin... He died for our Shame as well. How did the Cross set us free from Shame? Enjoy.

This week we continue our series called "Becoming Un-Ashamed" by exploring the story of the Samaritan woman Jesus meets at Jacob's Well from John 4. In this powerful story we learn how Jesus' Heart for us is so filled with Love that he "Has To" find us and speak to us our True Identity from all eternity! Enjoy.

This week we do something a little different... we are discussing our "Generosity" as a church family and thinking about the value systems and confidence the undergirds our approach to these issues as CV. Come and enjoy our exploration of some of the dreams we want to pursue in 2026 and beyond!! We are led in this exploration by Jim Leeves, Chrissy Hatfield and Jim Denison.

This week Simon Rudland, Director of our Worship Ministry, speaks on "Watch" from Mark 13:37 and the life of Elijah and Elisha. Enjoy!

This week we begin a new series that will take us into the thing that terrifies us and holds us back more than any other... "Shame." Where did this come from? How did it become a part of us? How do we get free from it? Join us this week as we begin our exploration from Genesis 2:25-3:12. Enjoy.

This week Abigail Stavroulakis speaks about "Hearing from God" by retelling the story of Samuel in the temple as a child. There are such crucial truths in here so take some time to listen. Enjoy.

This week we explore the single teaching that dominated Jesus of Nazareth's speaking: The Kingdom of God. He talked about this over 126 times in The Gospels. But what is it? How does it affect our lives? And why should we care? All these answers and how we get to engage with it personally! Enjoy.

This week we return to John 15:1-8 in order to explore two subjects: Abiding and Fruit. What does it really mean to live a life that "Abides?" And when we do, what does "Fruit" look like? How can we expect God to move in us to bring His idea of Fruit into reality? Enjoy. (This is week 4 of our series on "What is on God's heart for us in 2026)

This week (18th January) we explore this subject from Romans 8:1-10. What is Jesus' Dream over His Bride? There five keys. We will deal with the first four this week from this passage. Enjoy!

This week we look at the story of Zacchaeus from Luke 19:1-10 and realise that it is an answer to the "question" that is posed by the story we read earlier on chapter 18 called The Rich Young Rule. In all of this we discover that it is Jesus' priority and heartbeat to "Seek and Save The Lost." Enjoy.

This week we begin 2026 with a focus on what is on God's Heart for us this year! We begin that journey with a look at Matthew 9 and Jesus' calling of the tax collector, Matthew and eating with his "unclean" friends. What is Jesus up to? What does this say for us and our CV Church in 2026? Enjoy.

In our second Sunday of Advent (7th December) we look at the so-called "400 Silent Years" between Malachi's final words and the birth of The Messiah in a dirty stable in the village of Bethlehem. Is God silent for this period? Was God late? What was really going on "behind the curtain" now that we can observe and understand? Such a rich exploration of History and Scripture if you are ready for it....
