Trinity Vineyard Sunday Morning

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also t...

To fully face the cost of the forgiveness of our sins is to allow Jesus’s healing love to transform us into a people who can handle offence when they come at us. People who can be a part of a deep, reconciled church community that can go the distance. I think at its heart the issue of forgiveness comes down to an issue of control. We want to be able to say what is good and what is not for our own...

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke b...

As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”G - Matthew 3:16-17 We believe in the Holy Spirit - the first line of the third article of the Apostles' Creed. He’s least tangible, the le...

Jesus told them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed ears, then the weeds also appeared. ‘The owner’s servants came to him and said, “Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?” ‘“...

"Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:2 We believe that Jesus rose again and went to take his place at the righthand of the Father, sharing the authority of God the Creator over all. The right hand is a place of honour throu...

“Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. G...

Being God’s chosen King is not linked to exercising authority for self interest or for the accumulation of wealth and military power. It wasn’t a human display of kingship. Being God’s chosen King means that Jesus suffered, was crucified, died and was buried. And that model of ruling has huge ramifications for all of us who desire to be shaped by the story of Jesus. The invitation to you and me is...

We believe in Jesus Christ Sing, barren woman,     you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy,     you who were never in labour; because more are the children of the desolate woman     than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord. “Enlarge the place of your tent,     stretch your tent curtains wide,     do not hold back; lengthen your cords,     strengthen your stakes. For you wil...

God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth - Genesis 1:1 What do you think of when I say the word ‘power’? Perhaps the phrase, “abuse of power”? Perhaps the phrase, “absolute power corrupts absolutely”? It is hardly possible to think of any institution which has not been shown to misuse power. Police, NHS, media, the Royal Family, cha...
