Coventry Elim Church

How do we cultivate spiritual fruit in our lives? Pastor Duncan unpacks what it means for the 'roots' in our lives must run deep before experience growth and fruit.

Pastor Duncan kicks off a new series this week looking at what needs to happen in our lived for us to bear spiritual fruit.

As a follow on to our 'Choose Life' Series. Pastor Duncan brings this mornings word. From 1 Thess 5 we learn the 3 ways to bring heaven on earth - 1) Rejoice always 2) Pray continually 3) Give thanks in all circumstances.

This week we are joined by our Regional Superintendent, Gordon Neale. Gordon brings for us the final message from our Choose Life series.

In our penultimate week of the Choose Life series, Pastor Duncan looks at Philippians 3. Paul used the image of running a race. Running a race requires us to focus, not on many things, but on one goal.

We often want to know a vision for our lives. Chris Cartwright, Elim's General Superintendent is speaking today, looking at the life of Paul from Acts 26.

On our 4th instalment of our Choose Life series, this week we look at the attitude of Paul when he was in prison. We would have understood if he was down and grumpy. But Paul shows us another way through the book of Phillipians.

Continuing with our Choose Life series. Pastor Duncan speak on how we react to circumstances in our lives. Often we can control what happens to us but we can control how we react to them. Choosing Godly thoughts and actions could be key to a better physical, emotional and spiritual life.

Last week we learnt that the key to entering God's presence was thanksgiving for the things that are unchanging. This week Pastor Duncan unwraps that when we enter God's presence, we gain supernatural peace.

As we start our new series during the time of Lent. We look at how we often need to make a choice to be joyful. We can take encouragement from Paul that when he was writing to the Philippian church he chose to remain joyful in his approach to life.

As Simon is moving on to become Senior Minister at the Elim church in Rugby, he speaks on his last Sunday with us about how we can expect Immeasurably more than what we can ask or imagine.

As our 2012-2017 vision has run its course. Pastor Duncan takes a moment, as we are half way through our contract at the Belgrade theatre to share the next season for the church.

Our guest speaker this week is Rev. Mark Ryan who is the lead pastor at Birmingham City Church, one of Elim's largest churches. Mark speaks to us about David's mighty men, and how each of them have something significant about their characters and personality that we can learn from.

We take a look at Acts 13. We take inspiration from the early disciples who went from a gathering of 200 to reaching a city of 50,000 in just one week. How can we live an invitational life like that?

Today we look at how the invitational life doesn't just stretch to the people that we know and like. It's much harder to love and live out the gospel to those who are vastly different to us or that we may not like as much. Pastor Duncan urges us to be a people who are building bridges to those people by the way we live. Not walls.

We look today at how at how we are all called to be ambassadors of Christ, in every part of our lives we are called to live in such a way that represents Christ in the best way.

In our first full Sunday back in the new year, Pastor Duncan unpacks to us, what is is like to live an Invitational Life. A life where how you life speaks volumes about God.

As we draw closer to Christmas, Duncan shares a word that has been laid on his heart. We look at Luke's Gospel and the 4 names that were given as a prophesy by the prophet Isaiah.

In our Christmas Family Service, Pastor Duncan shares a little bit of God's Character. We look at how God often operates. He could be doing 10,000 things in our lives and we may recognise 3 of them.

This weeks preach was split up into 3 mini-talks. We looked at the theme of Emmanuel, one of the names for Jesus - meaning God with us. Pastor Duncan unwraps what is means that God has been with us in our past. That God is with us in our present and that God will be with us in our future.

Tim was previously an elder here at Coventry Elim before being appointed as the National Director of Limitless, the national youth department of the Elim Churches.

As our church partners with the international charity Compassion. Tim Robinson comes to talk to about the work that is happening though our sponsorship of children and young people in Ethiopia.

Have we sacrificed an adventurous life in order to have a comfortable life? Pastor Duncan looks at the importance of taking some risks in our lives and the rewards of doing so.

In the book of Leviticus, God sets us some house rules and in keeping these commands, He promises to multiply his people, to be with us in his presence and to show us his favour.

As Christians we need to yearn for God's kingdom to come in our lives. What does that actually look like to us?
