Ever finished a hard bike ride wondering why it felt like the brakes were rubbing the whole way? The Christian life can feel exactly like that, and Pete reckons the problem isn't trying too little, but being plugged into the wrong thing. Join us in John 15 for vines, dodgy acer pruning, and a carefully weighed cup of coffee-shaped disappointment, as we find that Jesus is the bean, not the kit.

"I am the way, the truth, and the life" sounds like a claim about religion — about doing the right things, knowing the right answers, feeling the right feelings. But what if way, truth, and life aren't three separate boxes to tick, but an inseparable whole? And what if the point isn't religion at all, but a relationship? In this sermon, Paul explores John 14:6 – Jesus' answer to a very practical q...

What makes a shepherd good and why is Jesus our good shepherd? Explore with us how Jesus actively seeks us, guides us and provides for us as the ultimate shepherd for humanity.

In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message from Sutton Vineyard, Julian explores the person and power of the Holy Spirit and what it means to live a Spirit-filled life. Looking at Acts 2 and Ephesians, he unpacks how the Holy Spirit brings comfort, guidance, conviction, healing and assurance, while empowering believers to grow closer to God and live out their faith with boldness. Through personal s...

Join us as we dive into the radical, counter-cultural claim that Jesus is "The Gate"—the singular point of entry to a life of true security and purpose. Discover how moving past the "buffet-style" spirituality of our world leads us into the abundant pasture of a Saviour who doesn't just watch over us, but literally lays His life down for our protection.

Jesus says boldly in John 8 ‘I Am the Light of the World’ - but what does this mean for us? Hannah unpacks that not only can we find hope in a single flicker of light but we can partner with the power of Jesus in life over death and allow Him to uncover the hidden things in our lives, community and world.

Julian kicks off The Great I Am series by exploring Jesus’ powerful statement, “I am the Bread of Life” (John 6). In a culture full of competing voices and surface-level spirituality, this talk challenges us to move beyond seeing Jesus as just a good man or teacher—and instead encounter Him as the true source of life, sustenance, and satisfaction. Using relatable food analogies and real-life insig...

This Sunday we take time to talk about the momentum we gained as a church over the years, the opportunities that lay ahead, and the challenges of meeting the mission. Each April we invite the church to see how we allocate our resources and to share in the vision for using them for what we sense God doing through 2026.

Jesus is risen - so why does life still feel hard? Through the stories or Emmaus Road, Doubting Thomas and the disciples by the lake, Sam looks at how we carry the hope and victory of Easter into seasons that feel far from celebrations.

Resurrection Generation: We are like living stones being built into the purposes of God. We think of legacy as something we leave in a will. But the greater question is not just what are you leaving behind, but what are you doing with the unfinished time that God has left you with. A resurrection generation carries the power of the Gospel through this life and lays a foundation for the lives of ot...

Easter is strange. Chocolate, bunnies, and a man walking out of his tomb. But if we understand what the resurrection actually means, it changes everything. In this Easter Sunday talk, Paul explores the identity of God as "I AM" — the self-existent One who knows every heartbeat and etched the galaxies into being — and what it means that this same God entered His own story in Jesus to deal with our...

Palm Sunday wasn’t peaceful, it was tense, urgent, and full of people wanting very different things from Jesus. In this sermon, we slow the scene down and ask not just what the crowd expected from Him, but what we expect from Him now. And the question at the heart of it is this: are we welcoming the real Jesus… or just the version of Him that fits our lives?

Hannah explores how, by the same Holy Spirit that lived in Him, we are called to be with Jesus, be like Jesus and do what Jesus did.

Where is God when the nurture feels missing? When life falls apart and God seems silent, it's easy to assume He's forgotten us — or that we've done something to lose the signal. But Isaiah 49 tells a different story. In this talk, Paul explores what it really means to be held by a love that is fierce, permanent, and closer than words can express.

As we continue our 'Set Apart' series Sam explores the idea of Holiness and what it means to be called to be Holy. We are told to be Holy as the Lord your God is Holy, but how do we approach this and what does it look like? It feels like something we will constantly fall short of and, for some, it can feel like a real barrier between them and the Lord. But in the Gospel we hear the veil and has be...

In this powerful message, Dave, Senior Leader at Bridge Church in Lincoln, speaks into the church’s “Set Apart” series with a bold and challenging focus on faith. Drawing from Hebrews 11 and the Parable of the Talents in the Gospel of Matthew, Dave unpacks a deeper, biblical understanding of faith — not just belief or trust, but active obedience. He challenges the modern Western view that faith is...

Is God’s will a fragile blueprint you can fall out of, or something deeper? In this message, we explore how Scripture reframes God’s will not as perfection or a single life-plan, but as formation, a life bending toward Christ. Through the stories of Saul and David, we consider obedience, shame, suffering, and the mercy that meets us when we turn.

Confession shouldn't be a guilt trip or shame filled duty. It should be a natural part of a loving and vulnerable relationship with the Father. It helps us recognise He is God and we are human. Hannah explores how Confession and Guidance leads to freedom and spiritual growth.

Here’s a sermon on giving. Notice what you felt when you heard that. That reaction matters more than you think. Pete explores Cain and Abel, and what was really on the altar.

Jesus doesn’t lead from a distance — He kneels, washes feet, and invites us to do the same. Rather than treating church like something we visit or consume, we’re challenged to belong deeply, to become rooted, and to choose willing submission that brings life to others. When we pick up the towel instead of chasing position, we discover that serving is one of the clearest ways we grow closer to God.

What do we do when the noise and complexity of life pull us into confusion and stress? Simplicity and solitude are two of the tools that help us to be present to the God who is always present to us. This week, we explore pursuing God in simplicity and silence.

As we start the new year, we gather our thoughts - reflecting on moments of the last year and leaning into how God wants to prepare us for 2026. We start the year with faith and anticipation to walk deeper and closer to Jesus.

As we look ahead into 2026, there are stories of faith ready to unfold. Join us as we sit down with a few people for church hearing their story of how God has moved in their life.

At Christmas, joy seems to be abounding but what if I don't experience that? What even is joy? Is it a feeling? Hannah explores the Fruit of the Spirit, looking at how we can grow joy in our lives by proximity to the Father.
