Coast Vineyard Church Messages

In the third of our Advent series, the gift, Caitlin explores the gift of the Holy Spirit. She unpacks common myths and hears from a couple of young adults about how they’ve experienced the Holy Spirit this year. We hope this encourages you to pursue the leading, empowerment, and transformation the Spirit brings.

In the second of our Advent series, 'the gift', Stanley delves into the gift of forgiveness that we're offered through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Included in this message is an Ignatian contemplative prayer practice using John 21. Our hope is that it would help connect you to a first hand encounter with this precious gift.

As we head into the Christmas season, we’re kicking off a brand-new series called “the gift.” We unpack one of the most incredible gifts we could ever receive — the gift of being adopted into God’s family. It’s a place where we discover real love, deep security, true belonging, and a grounded sense of identity.

Today, Annaliese Phipps concludes our series on Exodus by looking at the gift of God's presence that the Israelites were given. We are reminded of God's merciful and gracious heart, and given an invitation to pursue that presence for ourselves.

Simeon Hawkins dives into Exodus 3 and unpacks the significance and meaning of Moses asking Gods name, and the relationship this has with the various names he his called before and during Moses time. He gives us 4 formational reflections from this chapter that invites us to open ourselves up to Gods grace, mercy, strength, and love.

Stanley continues our new exodus series, highlighting that we are in journey mode as a church family. Focusing on the freedom that God brought the Israelites, he parallels it with our journeys today. We are reminded that we don't have to stay in Egypt, because Jesus has made a way out into ultimate freedom.

Guest speaker Jacqui Lloyd starts our new series on Exodus. She explains the overall story of Exodus; freedom, formation, and presence, then focuses on chapters 1 & 2 and the 5 courageous women.

Stanley shares a message on prayer and fasting. He invites us to take up this foundational Christian practice as an act of devotion, to increase our hunger for God, and to amplify our prayers.

This week, Laidlaw College Principal Dr Roshan Allpress, shares the story of the bible. With wisdom and insight, he threads through the overarching narratives of the bible, and invites us to place our story in God’s story.
