Sunday Morning Talks at the Vineyard. Do you ever ask yourself the question “what on earth does the Bible have to say to us today?”? How can a 2,000 year old text be relevant to my life here and now? As you delve deeper into the Bible, one of the most striking things is how much the people who lived then are like the people who live now. When God inspired the Bible to be written down all those years ago he knew that the problems and issues the folk faced in that era are common to all ages.

We are currently looking at the subject of Healing, with a sub-title of “doing what we see the Father doing”. We know God heals people today; some of us have seen it happen or we’ve heard other people tell us what they saw or how they themselves got healed. Jesus said “I only do what I see the Father doing”. The Bible talks about us doing good works that God has planned for us to do in advance. This includes healing.

You can hear some of the talks presented on Sundays on our Podcast Page.

Rayleigh Vineyard leaders spent an idyllic weekend in the coutryside on the Kent/Sussex border at the Oast Houses, Northiam, nr Rye, in August. We chilled out to wonderful food, good teaching and great company. The subject of the weekend was “Getting a Vision for the New Season”. We looked at catchphrases that form out thought patterns, we re-jigged our churches vision statement and we started a series of talks on “Healing – Doing What the Father is Doing”.

Rayleigh Vineyard attended the New Wine Conference in Newark, Nottinghamshire in July, en masse. It was a fantastic week full of talks, seminars, worship, workshops, great kids meetings etc. It was under canvas and the rain (mostly) kept away! Talks on subjects from “Helping the Poor” to “How to get out of debt” to “Healing” and “Living with Stress”and many more. We all resolved to make the trip again next year as we came back refreshed and raring to go for another year.
