In Autumn 2013 at our Sunday Morning Gathering, we explored Jesus' teaching as found in the book of Matthew chapter 5 to 7; The "Sermon on the Mount." This is Jesus' manifesto of what 'real' life should be and how His followers should live life in the reality of His Kingdom. Join us as we uncover and seek to put into practice the most challenging words ever spoken.

"The Sermon on the Mount is probably the best known part of the teaching of Jesus, though arguably it is the least understood, and certainly it is the least obeyed. It is the nearest thing to a manifesto that he ever uttered, for it is his own description of what he wanted his followers to be and do. To my mind no two words sum up its intention better, or indicate more clearly its challenge to the modern world, than the expression ‘Christian counter-culture.’ "-John Stott

Previous talks from our Sunday Morning Gathering...

Church is first and foremost a gathering of people with a purpose. Church is a community. At Coventry Vineyard, we want to be real people living real life. We want to understand what it means to belong to one another, and be devoted to one another in love. (Romans 12:10). 

We are better together. We are better people when we do life together. Life is better, richer, more fulfilling when you do life with others. This series also introduces our new Life Groups.

The followers of Jesus asked him to teach them to do just one thing. To pray. They saw something different in his prayer life. What can we learn from this prayer that he taught his followers...

We all value good character. In others. As followers of Jesus our character should be changing. We want our character to reflect His character.  This series is not about making you a little bit better, it's about transformation, it's about how to become more like Jesus and reflect God's character to others.
