What is church, and who is church for?

This week Nick explores being "a church that gathers". By looking at the early church we can see some key characteristics of what it means to be church.

In this sermon series we're focusing on what it means to be church, exploring the life of the early church and asking: What did Jesus have in mind when he spoke about 'church'?

This week Cécile explores what it means to be a church that worships together.

In Luke's gospel we find angels telling shepherds to seek out a baby, who would be saviour of the entire world... "good news that will cause great joy for all the people."

How do we join in with the joy that God has unleashed on the world? A joy that mountains, rivers and oceans join in with. A joy where truth and grace get the final say, and hearts are turned to the wonders of love that God has for all people.

Senior Pastor Nick Sutton shares the vision of Coventry Vineyard and reflects on progress we've made this last year. We will also be looking to next year and sharing ways in which you can support the vision of your church and get involved with the life of Coventry Vineyard.

This week, Nick concludes our series on Proverbs: The Way of Wisdom.

As a culture we are obsessed with power. Churches are not immune from this. What does Proverbs tell us about power dynamics and healthy leadership? How can each of us use power wisely in whatever area in which we have influence?

When it comes to sex, what the world teaches us is largely opposed to how God designed it. For followers of Jesus, What does it mean to trust God with your sex Life? What does it mean to “choose to do what is right, as defined by God, regardless of the personal cost”?

This week we continue our series in Proverbs. What is the best financial advice you’ve been given? What role does money play in your life? Money is a wonderful servant and tool but a hideous master. The book of Proverbs provides key ways to be wise with our finances. Join us as we look at how we can wisely invest in the kingdom of God.

If you would need help with budgeting or managing your money then do get in touch with Christians Against Poverty.

This week we are joined by Steve & Tammy Gee.

Steve & Tammy have been in ministry together for over two decades. They planted their first church (Daventry Vineyard) in their early 20s, their second (Central Vineyard, Northampton) in 2006 and are now planting their third! Whilst leading Garden City Vineyard in Milton Keynes they also serve the wider Vineyard Movement as Regional Leaders.

When was the last time you got into trouble by something you said? We continue our series on Proverbs looking at speech. Our words reveal what's in our hearts. How do we demonstrate wisdom by the things we say and demonstrate our lives as followers of Jesus in our conversations?

When was the last time you did something stupid?

This is the start of our new series on the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is all about equipping us to do the wise thing; to consistently make good decisions in any situation. Join us as we explore the way of wisdom.
