Monday Evening

Speaker: Francis Noordanus.

Francis came to Europe 9 years ago from New Zealand.  Part of his call is to serve as a witness in post-Christian Europe and encourage faith in a living God.  He has been involved with New Wine and its New Zealand predecessor since the mid 1990s.  He pastors an International English Speaking Church in the region around Eindhoven. Together with Barbara they have two recently graduated adult children living on opposite sides of the planet.

Topic: Opening Address Looking at God's big plan for all nations and our place in that as New Wine Europe and as individuals.  Francis brought a Gospel message to gather us at the outset. Download or listen online here

Tuesday Evening

Speaker: Anne Coles

Topic: Declaring his glory among the nations

There is a cry in the human heart to see the glory of God, but the world has been blinded to it. God has called us to show His glory as we live for Him; and as I’ve visited the church in other nations I’ve seen the impact of their testimony. We have much to learn from them.

Wednesday Evening 

Speaker: Mark Collinson.

Mark moved from Sale, near Manchester, UK to Amsterdam in November 2001 to lead Christ Church Amsterdam. He is married to Sue and they have two children Isobel and Samuel. He loves seeing people find their calling in Christ, and meeting Jesus in worship and through the Bible being taught and caught by the way Christians live their lives in the workplace as much as in their leisure time. Having worked formerly as a management consultant in large companies he wants to see the gospel bring transformation to institutions and society as much as individuals. He enjoys squash and running, and heading to the mountains for holidays. 

Topic: The vision of New Wine Europe is to equip the churches to bring a ministry of God's Word and God's Spirit to their nations. How might God do this? This evening we'll draw close to Jesus in his death, and learn from the example of Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea as examples of uncertain disciples who served the Body of Christ with love and sacrifice. We will ask the Holy Spirit to equip us by giving us the gifts of grace He wants to bestow on us. Download or listen online here

Thursday Evening

Speaker: John Coles

Topic: (What on earth is God doing?)  Getting in the flow ...

God is in the business of giving life; the world is dying without him. F B Meyer once said ‘The church has withdrawn from the River, and created a settlement in the desert’. But God has said ‘wherever the River flows everything will live’ Ezekiel 47.9. Whenever and wherever God’s people surrender to the flow and work of the Spirit,God will use them to give life even in the deepest, darkest and most barren of places. Download or listen online here

Topics:

Experiencing the Kingdom of God:

If Jesus’ first sermon, last sermon, prayer model, and parables were all about the Kingdom of God then the kingdom must have high priority in our vision, study, prayer and lifestyle. Whenever Jesus advanced the kingdom of God the kingdom of the enemy retreated. I will look at what the Bible teaches about the kingdom of God, how we experience that kingdom, pray for that kingdom to come, and live as citizens of that kingdom. Download or listen online here

Healing for all:

Every Christian is called to become more like Jesus – as well as knowing God as Father, and learning to obey Him this also includes learning to heal the sick through the empowering and gifts of the Spirit. We will look at the theology, model, and practice of Jesus; we will consider things that can hinder healing, and ways of releasing greater healing in personal ministry in the church and in the community. Download or listen online here

Prophecy:

The gift of prophecy  is to be eagerly desired  because ‘everyone who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.’ Learning to hear the voice of God is vital for our own assurance and direction as children of God and learning to hear God’s voice for others is vital for releasing them to become all that God has created them to be. If we learnt to hear the voice of God everywhere, and for everyone we would set the world on fire! Download or listen online here
