Jesus said “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” What did he mean? In this talk Nick asks, Why is church so important and how do we join with Jesus as he continues to build his church here in Coventry?

The King and His Kingdom
Jesus told people that, “The time has come, the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:15) What did he mean? Why is the Kingdom of God at the Core of our values? At the start of this new season, Nick preaches on the Kingdom of God and how we live in the tension between the now and the not yet of the Kingdom.
Hearing from God
Do you ever just stop, turn off the headphones, TV or phone and just listen to God? Do you think He would ever say anything to you?
For us in the Vineyard, prophesy and hearing from God are natural things that we expect to happen. We believe that God speaks to us in our everyday lives… but exactly how and why does He do that?
T.G.I. Monday
Do you ever wake up and think “Thank God it’s Monday!”?
Does going to work excite you?
It’s easy to think of employment as a burden, as just another thing that we have to do. Without it, though, we soon find a strange emptiness, and can begin to suffer spiritually, emotionally and even physically.
If work does actually provide some level of fulfillment, then what if we saw it as part of our nature, or even God’s calling in our lives, rather than simply despising it?
What you do with your body matters
Your body is your kingdom – it’s where you alone are in charge. You use to body to do almost everything, and everything that you do with it is your responsibility. Every input, picture or mouthful; every word or signal; every action is your choice. What are you doing with your body, are you honouring God by doing it?
