Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:1-20
Happy Easter! We’ve been focusing in on the cross of Jesus Christ for the last few weeks, looking at some of it’s meaning and effects. Today we are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus.

Jesus The Lamb Of God

Matthew 26:17-30 ; 27:27-56
Tonight we are pausing before the cross, waiting at the cross, watching at the cross, remembering Jesus death.

Finding life at the cross - The Cross: Sacrifice

We are in the midst of a series on the cross to prepare us for Holy Week and Easter. As we draw near to Easter we want to pause and look afresh at the cross and how it impacts our day to day lives.

Finding life at the cross - The Cross: Victory

We are in the midst of a series on the cross to prepare us for Holy Week and Easter. Today we are looking at Colossians 2, where Paul tells us that the cross is the greatest victory ever.

Experiencing God's Presence

We are delighted to have Michael & Brenda Gatlin with us today. They have been Senior Pastors at Duluth Vineyard since 1977 and great friends with our church. One of our church values is responsiveness and today they are sharing how the Holy Spirit operated in the life of Jesus.

Finding life at the cross: Reconciliation

This morning we begin a new series. As we draw near to Easter we want to pause and look afresh at the cross and how it impacts our day to day lives.

Over the next 2 weeks we are going to be talking about giving our lives to the cause of Jesus. this week we look at Peter and how he was captured by a cause.

Evangelism: Getting Past The Pain

share the life we have in Jesus, in an honest,
compelling, and real way and can begin to see the
hope of Jesus change our lives

We’re onto how we can share the life we have in Jesus in a way that is honest, compelling and real and how we can begin to see the hope of Jesus change our lives.

John 3:1-17. This morning we begin a new series taking a look at the scary “e” word – evangelism. We begin by taking a look at what evangelism really is, what we’ve allowed it to become and why it makes us so uncomfortable.

Christmas Longing

This morning as we run into Christmas we take a look at the hopes and dreams that we all carry for the holiday season.

Wisdom: The Beginning Of Wisdom

Proverbs 9:10 Today we finish our series, and discover where wisdom begins, and how we say yes to that for the rest of our lives.

Wisdom: The Slightly Less Awkward One, Part 2

1 Timothy 6: 6-19. Today we are looking at wisdom when it comes to finances and the constant choices we face on many levels. This week we follow on from last week and see how when we add generosity to thanksgiving, we are set free from discontentment.

Wisdom: The Slightly Less Awkward One

Today we are looking at wisdom when it comes to our morality and the constant choices we face on many levels. Join us as we look to the scriptures for guidance and help as we do whatever it takes to live a life of wisdom and intimacy with Jesus.

Wisdom: The Awkward One

1 Corinthians 6:18
Today we are looking at wisdom when it comes to morality, and the constant choices we face on many levels. Join with us as we look to the scriptures for guidance and help us as we do whatever it takes to live a life of wisdom and intimacy with Jesus.

Wisdom: What If I Don't KNow What The Wise Thing Is?

Today we are looking at what happens when we don’t know what the wise thing is for us to do. Life is complex, and even when we do our best to ask what the wise thing is, it can feel elusive. Join us as we look to the scriptures for guidance and help as we do whatever it takes to live a life of wisdom and intimacy with Jesus.

Wisdom: When we decide to go without

This morning we will be looking at some of the many places in the scriptures where wisdom is made available to us, and we will be pressing into intimacy with Jesus as we bring His wisdom to some of the most complex situations we face; things like money, sex and relationships, and how we make decisions. Today we press into what Proverbs tells us life looks like when we decide to not go with wisdom.

Wisdom

Ephesians 5:15-17 :: We all know what it is like to really mess things up, and to wish we could have acted differently. We all know what it’s like to wish we had more wisdom, and the courage to act on it.

2 Services? Here's why...

Next week sees the 1st November and the beginning of our 2 services. You can either join us at 10am or 12noon. We are taking time this morning to explain why we are making these changes and going to 2 services. Some of us love change while others really struggle and we appreciate how uncomfortable that feels. And so, today we will be reminded of God’s vision for our church, why we exist and what we are for and how we go about doing that.

It's their house too!

Throughout the bible the scriptures are weighted heavily towards children. There are a number of things that happened between Jesus and children that we as adults really need to take note of. It is so clear that children have a special place in the heart of Jesus and the kingdom of God. Today we want to consider the children in Belfast City Vineyard and why it is so very important that we do our utmost to ensure that they too get to walk under the corporate vision of our church, following Jesus, forming authentic community and fulfilling kingdom ministry just like the adults!

Intimacy With Jesus: Confession, Repentance and Adding to Our Faith

1 John 1:8-9 We have been working through barriers to intimacy with Jesus, and they usually centre around the sin we have done, the sin that has been done against us, and the sin we have done in response to the sin done against us.

The Gospel of the Mundane 1

The True Bridegroom

Gunther Storbeck: Hosea 3: 1-5
Deciding if you’re going to take God or leave him? Already engaged with him but still trying to figure our your relationship to him? Scripture gives us a lot of information about who God is and what he wants with us. And it gives us a picture that describes him: God is a king, he’s a shepherd, he’s a father… and he’s a spouse, a bridegroom.
This morning we take a look at what God would have us know about him- about who he is and how he wants us to relate to him.

What Next: Part 1

Luke 24:36-53. Andy Smith. Over the next 3 weeks we’ll be looking at what happened to the disciples after Easter: the birth of the church.
