Leicester Vineyard Church Talks

What does it really look like when God's Kingdom shows up in everyday life?

In this week's episode from our "Power of Invitation" series, Tom Hopkins shares powerful stories from his years doing street ministry in Leicester's city centre. From miraculous healings to transformed lives, Tom takes us on a journey that challenges how we think about sharing our faith.

What is the actual "job description" of a Christian? In this practical and challenging message, guest speaker Zeke Rink explores why every believer is called to go and make disciples. Moving beyond just loving God and our neighbours, Zeke breaks down the 411 Training—a simple framework to help you reach the lost in your everyday life.

What does it actually look like to live out your faith? In this episode of The Power of Invitation, Bob explores how belief without action is incomplete. Drawing from the Palm Sunday story and Jesus' teachings, he challenges us to move beyond passive belief into active faith.

Faith isn't what you believe; it's what you do when you believe. Through four practical insights, you'll learn how to develop a culture of trying in your own life and church community. Whether you've stepped out before and felt awkward, or you've never tried at all, this episode will help you understand that God doesn't ask for success—he asks for willingness. Your attempts matter. Your courage counts. And grace covers every try.

What if a single invitation could transform someone's entire life?

In this week's episode from our series "The Power of Invitation," Jess explores the remarkable story of the Samaritan woman at the well and what it teaches us about inviting others to encounter Jesus.

This episode challenges the myth that inviting people to faith has to feel pushy or awkward. Instead, you'll learn that most people actually appreciate being invited, and that you're uniquely positioned to invite the people God has placed around you. Whether you're exploring faith yourself or looking to deepen your invitation practice, this episode will encourage you to see the power in a simple "come and see."

Join us as we explore what happens when ordinary people extend extraordinary invitations.

Join us for this message from John 14:6 with Bob and Sal.

We explore our new vision as a church. We look at discipleship, our identity in Christ, and growing a healthy church family. Bob and Sal call us to be part of this new vision, to get stuck in and be part of this community following in the way of Jesus.

Join us for this message from James 4:4-10 with Bob.

We explore intentional spiritual formation and resisting temptation. We look at drawing near to God, confession, and community accountability.

Bob encourages us to give God fifteen minutes before opening our phones each morning and examine what's forming us.

Ever notice how one careless word can spark a forest fire? Peter unpacked James 3 and showed us why taming our tongue is one of the biggest challenges we face.

The good news? We don't have to do it alone. Jesus offers us the power to speak life instead of death.

Join us for this message from James 2:1-13 with Toby.

We explore how we treat people and the sin of favouritism. We look at avoiding judgment based on externals, loving neighbours as ourselves, and seeing people as God sees them.

Toby encourages us to honour others by serving at church and invite those we may have already discounted from faith.

Join us for this message from James 1:19-27, 2:14-26 with Rob, as we explore faith in action.

We look at caring for the vulnerable, giving generously, and taking risks in obedience to God. Rob and Sally share their testimony of faith during COVID-19, including prophetic dreams and speaking faith into crisis.

Join us for this message from James 1:1-18 with Bob. We explore trials, wisdom, and character formation. We look at finding joy in trials, perseverance producing maturity, and asking God for wisdom without doubting. Bob encourages us to reach out to someone going through difficulty this week.
