Kingdom Vineyard

Guest speaker Andrew McNinch (Senior Pastor at Falkirk Vineyard) shares some Bible passages, and their challenges and encouragements for KV

Philippians 2:12-30 Paul encourages the Philippians to keep pressing on in following Jesus, he gives them a couple of pointers on how they might do that, and then gives them the examples of Timothy and Epaphroditus to follow.

Mark 3:13-19 Ben & Kate Newman, Pastors of Edinburgh Vineyard, were with us this Sunday and Kate spoke to us about practical ways of partnering with the Holy Spirit to bring in God’s Kingdom, now.

Philippians 1:27-2:13 Carrie unpacks how following the practice of the Christ-pattern allows our common purpose to survive worldly pressure.

Philippians 1:12-26 Paul is stuck in prison, his life turned upside down, but he keeps going and even rejoices! When life gets hard can we, like Paul, live with purpose? Can we live like Jesus lived? Can we set our eyes on the hope Jesus gives us?

Philippians 1:1-11 Jim introduces our series in the Letter to the Philippian church, looking at how the church started, and how Paul felt about them as he wrote back to them. What would Paul want, for a church he so clearly loved?

Hebrews 11:39-12:17 At the end of Hebrews 11’s long list of faith-heroes comes a big “Therefore”. And as we close our own series of character-studies, focussing on Perseverance and Kingdom Expectancy, it is appropriate to examine our own “Therefore “, that we may respond appropriately to the lives of the wonderful people we have been considering. There is surely no better passage for this purpose...

1 Samuel 17:1-52 This week's sermon contrasts Zechariah's disbelief with Mary's belief, showing how remembering God's past faithfulness is the key to saying 'yes' to His work in our present.

1 Samuel 17:1-52 What was it that made David able to step up boldly and take on Goliath? What was his "Kingdom Expectancy" in that moment, and what can we learn from it today?

Ephesians 1 God’s Purpose, His Praise and His Power are all at work in His church:- all the time, and for our good.

Mark 5: 21-24, 35-43 Continuing our series in Perseverance and Kingdom Expectancy, Caitlin looks at the story of Jairus and the practical framework it gives us for growing in these areas.

2 Kings 2:7-14 Lucy takes a look at how this passage from early on in Elisha's ministry reveals two key characteristics of God’s Kingdom: the abundance of God and the wonders of God, and how Elisha, by understanding this story he’s stepping into and the one who writes it, is able to be bold and expectant of what God will do.

Psalm 27 Whilst being relentlessly chased down by Saul and his army, David shows us how to keep persevering in God and expecting His kingdom to come, even when circumstances might make that difficult.

Mark 10:46-52 Bartimaeus may have been blind, but he could see who Jesus was long before the crowd around him could. Though a minor character in the Bible’s story, he has a lot to teach us about what God is saying to us this season!

Numbers 13:30-14:10,20-24, Joshua 14:6-12 Toby looks at Perseverance and Kingdom Expectancy through the lens of Caleb.

Genesis 24 Today, Eliezer teaches us what it looks like to invite God to be with us along the way, and how this perseverance helps bring God's Garden Kingdom to earth.  

1 Kings 17:1-19:18 Does Elijah model a "Perseverance" with God? Does he live with an expectation that God is King, and can do what He wants to? Jim looks at the confrontation on Mount Carmel and asks what we can learn from Elijah's great faith.

Jonah 1:1-17, 3:5, 10-4:3 In our youth takeover series, Kylah picks up our theme of Perseverance & Kingdom Expectancy through the lens of Peter walking on water.

Jonah 1:1-17, 3:5, 10-4:3 Caitlin takes us through what we can learn about perseverance and kingdom expectancy through the life and story of the prophet Jonah.

1 Samuel 1:1-28 Carrie explores how Hannah's story shows us that the roadmap to participation is surrender: laying down our desires so we might become aligned with God's.

Judges 6:11-16, 25-32, 33-40 Continuing in Perseverance & Kingdom Expectancy, we’re looking at how Gideon’s life shows the importance of telling stories, of stepping out in imperfect obedience, and of pressing into God’s presence, knowing His grace is sufficient and his power is made perfect in our weakness.

Exodus 15:22-27 Continuing our new series, we're looking at how Moses persevered and was expectant through faith. But what is faith, what does it mean to be saved by faith and how can I grow in faith? We'll look at these questions as well as touch on how we express our faith in prayer and in hope.

Joshua 1:1-11 A practical look at how to persevere, based on God's words to Joshua in Joshua chapter 1.

Hebrews 10:19-25 Jim shares what we think the Lord is saying to KV for this coming season, and a bit about what it looks like to "Persevere" in our walk with God, and what it looks like to have a "Kingdom Expectancy".

Luke 18:18-34 The story of the Rich Young Ruler is confusing to some and condemnatory to others, but in the context of Easter, it preaches a joyful message of hope.
