Early in the gospels we read of how Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness where for 40 days he went without food and was tempted by the devil. Sometimes we find ourselves in the wilderness - seasons of life that are particularly hard. Jesus is no stranger to the wilderness - instead he can be our guide and help us navigate our way through these pivotal seasons. In this Good Friday messag...

This year we're giving attention and energy towards three main strands: connecting with God, connecting with one another, and connecting with others. In the New Testament one of the hall-marks of following Jesus was outward good deeds - in other words showing and demonstrating the love of Jesus to people. In this talk James encourages us to be people who have a dynamic, all of life faith in Jesus...

This year we're giving attention and energy towards three main strands: connecting with God, connecting with one another, and connecting with others. In this talk James discusses how loneliness and social isolation are massive issues in society today, but we as the church have a gift - the New Testament vision is a church of interconnected people growing and going deeper with one another.

Strands - Connecting with God in prayer | James | 11-2-24 by Capital Vineyard Church

There's a well-known verse in the Bible about a cord of three strands that is not easily broken. This highlights the importance of connections in our lives. In this talk James speaks about the overall vision for CV this season: connecting with God, connecting with one other and connecting with others. Intentionally strengthening these three connections will lead to strength, growth and overflow as...

Peace on earth - we hear this phrase over and over again at this time of the year, but what does it mean? There's ongoing conflict and an absence of peace both internally and socially - so what did the angels mean by peace? In this message James explores the Advent theme of peace and how it is strong, substantial and transformational in our lives!

Jesus is God in the flesh, which is mind-blowing when you pause to think about it. At Christmas we celebrate the incarnation - that God was born as a human being. In this talk Christoph highlights that in Jesus, God became like us to reconcile and rebuild.

Jesus reserved some pretty harsh language for the religious experts: the Lawyers and the Pharisees. He highlighted how instead of helping people walk with God they were actually doing the opposite, and even worse - the things they said they didn't even do themselves. In this message, Zoë gets into Luke 11 and what we can learn from Jesus' words to the Pharisees!

Jesus told an outrageous story about someone who has become known as the Good Samaritan - this story shocked his listeners. It was like holding a mirror up to them and it reflected their hearts back to them. Listen as Matt unpacks this incredible parable, and what it means for us today!

Walk the walk (Luke pt 10, ch 8) Do you see this woman? | Tessa | 29-10-23 by Capital Vineyard Church

Do you ever feel like you don't have enough or you're not enough? There's massive pressure to be successful, to win, to achieve, to be remembered... but God invites us into a partnership of freedom, promise and potential. A partnership in which we co-labour and walk together in a loving relationship. In this message James dives into a couple of stories in Luke 9 to see how with God anything is pos...

Integrity means to be whole and undivided. It's when you do what you say you're going to do, or when what's on the outside reflects what's going on inside. Jesus is fully integrated; he's the ultimate word-worker and He works to form us to be like Him. In this message, James kicks once again into Luke 5 to see how Jesus brings about the fundamental change that's really needed.

Two stories of two guys with two names. In Luke chapter 5 we meet Simon the fisherman and Levi the tax collector. Both men encounter Jesus, follow him (leaving everything behind), and are radically transformed. In this message James zooms in to these guys stories and how Jesus invites us, forgives us, and transforms us!

All throughout the gospels we read of Jesus praying - he prays frequently, regularly and consistently. As we follow Jesus we are called to a life of prayer. It's the key place of connection with God and from this place we're transformed to bear incredible fruit: love, joy and peace! In this talk Sam encourages us to live lives of prayer and gives some helpful strategies as we walk int he ways of J...

Following Jesus means being sent by Jesus and representing the King! Now is the time. In this message Rosemary and Graeme dive into Luke chapter 10, and relate it to their own upcoming trip.

Sometimes we track through life and trip up or make mistakes. Sometimes we can be aware of what trips us up but we fall for them anyway. When Jesus was led into the wilderness and faced temptation, he managed to avoid tripping up and instead walked out ready to embark on his Kingdom mission! In this talk James dives in Luke chapter 4 to discover more about Jesus and how we can follow Him.

What kind of people are invited into the story of God? What should we do to walk with Jesus? And what about baptism? In this message Matt dives in Luke 3 where we see John baptising all kinds pf people - including Jesus himself!

Have you ever found yourself feeling like you're not good enough? Or you've passed your prime? Throughout the Bible God's story often involves surprising and unlikely characters - because He looks at the heart not outward appearances. We're kicking into a series through the book of Luke, and in this encouraging message James dives into chapters 1 and 2 which are filled with ordinary people that Go...

Do you long for more - more than this world offers? Something that's just beyond our reach and beyond what we can see? Perhaps what you are longing for is heaven? In this message James dives into the wonder of the breath of heaven and the intersection of our lives today. * The song we sing at the end (not recorded in the podcast) is O Lord We Seek Your Face from Worship Central (https://youtu.be/i...

One of the most regular prayers we pray at CV is "come, Holy Spirit". It's an everyday cry of desperation for God to come and help us. We don't have to wait for Sunday when we're with our church family, we can ask for the Holy Spirit to come at any moment - and he does! In this message Matt explores how we can look to the Holy Spirit to help us in all of our lives.

What are spiritual gifts? Who are they for? What are they for? Why can we get so confused about them? In this message Zoë unpacks the incredible spiritual gifts that God gives to empower us.
