Kingdom Vineyard

Matthew 25:1-13 The most important thing that any of us can do is to get close to Jesus. As Kingdom Vineyard starts 2020, Jim challenges the church to examine our individual relationships with God, and offers an opportunity to devote ourselves to Jesus once again.

Luke 2:6-20 Matthew 2:1-12 How God chose two unlikely groups of people to be the first to hear the news of Jesus’ birth, and what that means for us, today.

Luke 1:5-38 The season of Advent invites us to say yes to God’s promises. Therefore, what does that look like for us today?

1 Peter 1:8-15 Trailers had been running for the Jesus Plan over many hundreds of years; and yet, God still pulled off a complete surprise.

Galatians 5:19-26 To round off our evening service series Caitlin shares some stories about living everyday life with the Holy Spirit as well as offering practical steps on how to nurture the presence of God living in us, and how to position ourselves in place for God to use us.

Romans 8:19 We cover the whole story--from the beginning to the incarnation--and talk about God's big plan for the whole project.

Rachel looks at how our understanding of who the Holy Spirit is impacts the way we approach our church meetings.

Acts 17:16-34 A challenge from Acts - how much effort do we make to understand and engage other cultures?

1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Discussion on how the Holy Spirit speaks, focusing on spiritual gifts and what these gifts teach us about God, and then how can we listen to the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:1-11, Luke 10:8-20 We hear stories, and read in the Bible, of times when people have received gifts of the Holy Spirit. What are these gifts? What is their purpose? How do we seek them? In this talk, we begin to answer these questions and find that it all comes back to relationship.

Acts 17:1-15 The first half of Acts 17 at first sight looks rather uninspiring, but in fact it contains a vital blueprint on St Paul’s Missionary Method. As we take note of the internal pattern in this passage, the different stages of Mission reveal themselves, and some of them are quite surprising.

1 Corinthians 12:1-13 Acts 8:13-19 Being filled with Holy Spirit is an essential part of what it means to be Christian. This sermon illustrates how and when we get filled, and what that looks like.

Acts 16:16-40 All the characters in this passage are enslaved or imprisoned to various degrees. The only ones who seem truly free are those actually locked inside a prison cell. What's their secret?

Acts 2:17-21 Matthew 6:9-10 What do we mean by the Kingdom of God and what does it mean for how we understand and experience the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

Acts 16:6-15 Caitlin asks how much of Paul’s mission throughout Asia and Greece was lead by God or, lead by Paul. How much of our serving God today should be waiting for him to lead us, and how much should be us making the first move?

John 14-16; Ezekiel 37 The Holy Spirit is as much a person within the godhead as is the Father and the Son, and brings the presence of God closer to us than ever before.

Acts 15:36-16:5 Jim unpacks an awkward moment in the Early Church, as Paul & Barnabas let a disagreement impact their mission. God, in His kindness, uses imperfect leaders to build His kingdom, even people like us.

John 14:15-26 To begin our Evening Service series on the Holy Spirit and set it in its proper context, Jim opens up the teaching of God in Trinity, beginning with Jesus' own words about it.

Acts 14:8-28 As Paul and Barnabas continue their evangelistic mission they come against some heavy opposition. They're somehow able to keep going - how? And why?

Acts 13:44-14:7 Paul & Barnabas risked their lives to tell people about Jesus, over and over again. Some resisted, but to others, that introduction changed their lives. How good are we at introducing people to Jesus?

Acts 13: 4-43 Barnabas and Paul set out on their journey, preaching in synagogues and demonstrating the Kingdom. From Paul we can learn how to share Jesus in relevant ways to our hearers and by using "what we have in our hands".

Acts 1:1-13:3 Jim recaps the sermon series so far, taking a morning to look at some of the themes and challenges that run through the first 13 chapters of Acts.

Acts 12:19-13:3 The death of Herod and the commissioning at Antioch are placed next to each other for the sake of contrast--they reveal the difference between earthly, and Kingdom leadership.

Acts 12:1-19 Peter escapes from prison and enjoys a comic interlude with his supporters.
