Canterbury Vineyard Church

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....

This week, Christina Hatfield shares from Isaiah 61, Luke 4 and her work with Orchards Charity to speak to us about the Two Most Important Questions in our lives: Why am I alive? For what or whom am I willing to die? Enjoy.

This week Alexi Brook shares at our Sunday Evening Service about The God of Hope that transforms our understanding of Christmas. Will you dare to Hope? Enjoy.

November 16, 2025 - This week Steve Kreeger unpacks "Shame" and "Identity."  This is a big one!  Enjoy.

This week we hear from our Worship Ministry leader, Simon Rudland, about TRUTH and how we relate to it through the life of Peter. Enjoy

This is our 9th and final week of this journey through the Armour of God. Our goal all along has been to unlock the Truth that "The Armour is a lifestyle, a KIND of Life." It's not a mantra. It's not a prayer. It is a way of seeing Reality so that we can be as Free and Alive as humanly possible! This week we deal with "The Sword of The Spirit which is the Word of God." This is the ony offensive we...

In this talk, given at our first Sunday Evening Service, Jim talks about the "Mission Statement" of Jesus in Luke 4:18 and what it tells us about God Himself.
