The Vine Church Podcast

22 May 2022 | This Sunday we pick up where we left off with 'The Unfinished Story' sermon series looking at Philip and the Ethiopian. We must recognise that evangelism is not the work of our own, but a partnership with the Holy Spirit; where we see our own shortcomings, we must also see God’s guidance and providence.

15 May 2022 | This Sunday is part 2 of our Vision Sunday, where we bring exciting updates to our Church Plant from Ps Andrew, Tim and Ivan.

Come hear the words and encouragement God has given us, as well as our timeline, budget and next steps!

8 May 2022 | This Sunday concluding the REOPENED sermon series we look at our roles in our society. ‘Blessed are the peacemakers’ Jesus said— but what does that entail for us to become ‘makers’ of peace, instead of mere keepers of peace? Ps Andrew shares on this profound and challenging role we must take as children of God. In this special presentation, Andrew Gardener offers some answers to these...

1 May 2022 | This Sunday as we continue examining the areas in our lives that will enable us to ‘reopen’ well, we look at Jesus’ encounter with those who have turned God’s temple into a marketplace. We too, are temples of God, and we too must examine areas within our own lives where Jesus will have to turn over the tables, in order for us to become the temples that God had intended. In this specia...

24 April 2022 | This Sunday as we reopen for in-person gatherings again, we explore various areas in our lives that we may also need to ‘reopen’ to. There has undoubtedly been many pains and traumas experienced over the past months or years, but do we, as individuals and as a society, find healing from the mere removal of social restrictions? How then, do we heal, and become vessels of healing to...

In our world right now we all have some critical questions: What exactly is going on? How do we make sense of all this uncertainty and fear we all have? How are we able to find a grounded sense of our humanity when everything around us feels like it is spinning out of control? How do we as humans find hope in seasons of great turmoil, and is that hope true, lasting, and real? In this special prese...

10 April 2022 | This Sunday Ps Tim Buechsel share with us how to strengthen and build a robust faith that allows us to walk confidently and courageously into the future, especially as Christians in today’s Hong Kong. Taking a page out of the early church in Acts, we find several practices that help create a solid foundation of faith and can prepare us for the work God has called us into.

3 April 2022 | This Sunday we study Peter’s declaration after the pentecost as a blueprint and encouragement to how we are to boldly share the gospel with others. Ps Ellison also addresses some of our fears and barriers when it comes to reaching out, and gives us practical ways to overcome them.

20 March 2022 | This Sunday we visit one of the most famous moments in church history, the day of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descends upon the apostles and they praise God in different tongues. Ps Andrew visits this moment in history to draw a parallel with another incident in Genesis, illustrating God’s power of reconciliation and his desire for us, his followers.

13 March 2022 | This Sunday we begin a new sermon series titled “The Unfinished Story”. Based on the book of Acts and the early church, the apostles and Christians find themselves being commissioned by Jesus to write the story of Christianity. Today, we also find ourselves in a similar position, being called to partner with Christ and continue writing this unfinished story.

6 March 2020 | This Sunday Ps Andrew shares from Jesus’ instructions to his disciples as he sends them out into the mission field. We will face rejection and hardships, and it can be disheartening or even damaging. Jesus tells his disciples to “shake the dust” off their feet, to help prepare them for these tough situations, and today this too is an encouragement for us as we continue to expand God...

27 February 2022 | This Sunday founding pastor John Snelgrove shares The Vine’s journey as a church and family of God. Through looking back, we are able to see how God has made way for our dreams in the past, which encourages us as we dream for what is to come.

20 February 2022 | This Sunday Ps Andrew concludes our sermon series exploring what it takes to live out the new dreams God has given us. Just as new wine requires new wineskins, we must rid ourselves of our old way of thinking, and instead prepare ourselves for the fresh revelations God is bringing to us.

13 February 2022 | This Sunday we continue our sermon series with the dream of Pontius Pilate’s wife, where she was confronted with Jesus’ innocence, and the injustice that is about to happen. Are we willing to allow our spirits to be unsettled and disturbed by the injustice that happens around us? What does our dream of a better world look like for those who are suffering injustices?

23 January 2021 | This Sunday we continue our ‘It’s Time To Dream Again’ sermon series with a message on Wisdom and Discernment. We may have many dreams, but what are the right dreams to pursue, and how do we go about pursuing them? Through the story of Solomon, Ps Nate shows us the importance of seeking God’s wisdom, and practical ways we can learn to discern as we follow our dreams.

16 January 2021 | This Sunday we visit the dream the Magi received after finding Jesus and was warned to not return to King Herod.

2 January 2021 | This Sunday we begin the new year with a new series — It’s Time To Dream Again. Though it is understandable for life to be ‘on hold’ for a season, it is not a lifestyle. Through the story of Daniel, Ps Andrew Gardener encourages us in the new year to look forward and begin to dream dreams again.

24 December 2021 | Join us on a family-orientated service to reflect and celebrate Christ as the light of the world.
