The Gift of Grace

The God we worship is a God of grace. His Grace transforms us. In this series we look at what this gift of grace looks like and how it transforms us lives and creates rich generosity.

#1 The Gift of Grace
In this, the first in our three-part series on grace, Nick looks at the grace God has for us. Whilst so many things in life we work hard for, God's grace is one thing we can not earn. Looking at the story of what happened when Jesus met a rich oppressor (Zacchaeus). We look at how grace encourages us to "Come as you are, but don't stay as you are". We are learning to apply grace, live by grace and let grace flow to others.

#3 The Generous Church
Our God is an extravagant giver. If we are to follow in His footsteps, then generosity is one of the key ways the Church should stand out from society. In this final part, Nathan challenges us to step out out of our comfort zones and be prepared to give not just willingly, but hilariously generously.

#2 The Grace of Giving
How much do you earn? How much do you save? How much money is in your bank account right now? ... and how much are you planning to give away?
Giving is an important Biblical discipline. It's a key way that we can show off God's love for our world, and Jesus challenges us to give. How can we take on that challenge?

In this series we look at what makes a Vineyard church distinctive. What are our Core Values? What do we hold dear? 

What if we, as a church community, decided to develop a culture of transformation, where we humbly prayed "Come Holy Spirit" and then co-operated with the Spirit of God as He equipped us for mission?

What if we measured the success of a church by how the people  live out their faith in their community. Are lives changed, people transformed and hope found?
