Exeter Vineyard Church

We are starting a partnership with TLG - Transforming Lives for Good - in their early intervention programme. This involves trained mentors spending an hour a week with primary school children who are finding some aspect of school difficult, resulting in difficult behaviour or disrupting their educational opportunities. This scheme has the potential to change lives with just a small investment at...

The Bible gives lots of instruction about what it is to be church and how to do it. But most of the instructions aren’t about the things we might expect - liturgy, songs, teaching, architecture, rotas… it’s about how we do certain things or hold certain attitudes to one another. There are over fifty ‘one another’ commands in the New Testament. Over five weeks we’re looking at five themes of these...

We are revisiting some of those classic Bible stories, often a staple of Sunday school classes, where we think we know what they're about - often simple morality tales - and examining whether there is anything more in there that connects with our real (and often confusingly messy) experience of God and everyday life. Today Dave looks at the little talked about older brother in ‘The Parable of the...

We are joined by Dan, Suzy, Ben and Beth to tell us about their life and work in Africa. And then Dan shares about the importance of having our past knowledge, experience and structure open to the new thing the Holy Spirit might be asking us to do. Dan and Suzy met at Exeter Vineyard Church back in the day and we support their work with YWAM in Africa.

Churches in Exeter have spent a week spreading joy, so today we look at what joy is, where (or who) it comes from and the amazing power it gives us.

We’re looking at six incidents in the Book of Acts to see how the Good News about Jesus overflowed into new people, new areas and new opportunities. We’re asking how these incidents might help us see how God wants to overflow from our Hubs and everyday lives. Today Dave looks at the persecution experienced by the disciples. They find themselves facing something really bad, totally out of their con...

We’re asking how these incidents might help us see how God wants to overflow from our Hubs and everyday lives. Today Dave looks how a seemingly mundane organisational change in the early church was not only a spiritual act, but something that allowed...

We’re asking how these incidents might help us see how God wants to overflow from our Hubs and everyday lives. Today Dave looks at a decision the Apostles need to make - do they keep Jesus private and personal, or do they go public? We think about tho...

We’re asking how these incidents might help us see how God wants to overflow from our Hubs and everyday lives. Today Dave looks at brave prayers - the ones that need God to do something. We think about how we can learn and practice brave prayers and w...

We’re looking at six incidents in the Book of Acts to see how the Good News about Jesus overflowed into new people, new areas and new opportunities. We’re asking how these incidents might help us see how God wants to overflow from our Hubs and everyday lives. Today Dave looks at the normal practice of the first church. In many ways it seems pretty unremarkable, but there is something going on that...

Alan continues our series looking at how so much of what we read about Jesus’ ministry in the Bible happened when he was interrupted. It helps us to see that God is far more active in our normal, everyday life than we might think. Today Jesus faces an interruption within an interruption and acts counterintuitively as he follows his Father’s leading.

We’re asking how these incidents might help us see how God wants to overflow from our Hubs and everyday lives. Today Dave looks at what has been called ‘the Birth of the Church’ - a fundamental change to how God connects to us and calls us into his sa...

The resurrection changed everything, yet despite that we meet two dejected and disillusioned disciples unsure what it all means. This morning we look at Luke 24:13-32 and think about how we often find ourselves in similar situations - excited about Jesus, but living a life that hasn’t worked out like we hoped and unsure what God might be doing… if anything at all! We consider how to understand the...

It’s easy to think that the amazing things Jesus did and said happened in religious settings - at the synagogue, in the temple, during formal teaching… but if we read the Gospels closely we see that so much happened when Jesus’ normal, everyday life was interrupted. Whether he was commuting, hanging out with friends, going for a stroll, at a dinner party or a wedding, Jesus was often interrupted a...

We feel God is prompting us to explore how our Hubs can be more intentional in being outward looking. We are starting a process of asking God to help us discover his unique and creative ways each of our Hubs can do this.  In this session we look at how Jesus and the disciples made a difference to people around them. We’re thinking about how God might be directing us to do something similar in...

Today Dave looks back at 2025, telling the story of our church family. And we think about what God is prompting us about for the year ahead.
