Vinelife Church Manchester Podcast

This week Sarah looks at three elements which are vital in walking with a sustained faith for salvation. We need to be compelled by the love of God and convinced of the power of the gospel message; these things are the healthy internal fuel for mission. But we also need to know we are commissioned to go which involves a disciplined choice by each of us, it's not about waiting until I feel like it...

In Celebration of the 28 years that Vinelife has been gathering as a church family, Phil and Sarah share a message reminding us of God’s faithfulness and the promise of his presence in our future.

This week Phil helps us see that a sustainable Christian life is built on the foundation of our identity as sons and daughters of God. We share the gospel, not because of external pressure, but because of who we are.

This week Mark shares two stories of us and them. As we're sent out into the harvest to share the good news of Jesus, Mark helps 'us' see 'them' as people, not projects, instead being moved in compassion just as Jesus was.

This week Sarah looked at how we must have faith in the gospel's message in order to have increasing faith for salvation, and recognise that it is of immense value and real power.

This week Phil spoke from Luke 15 where he looked at ‘coming to our senses’, the incredible journey from death to life that we experienced through Jesus and in turn help others around us discover.

This week Santino continues our new series on the Gospel. He spoke about Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, and how he is not simply one of the ways to reach God, but is the ONLY way. While religion says 'do this', grace says it is done!

This week special guest speaker Jimmy Horner from The Mission calls us to respond to the needs we see around us in the way that Jesus did.

This week, Santino kicks off our new series ‘The Gospel: Carrying Faith for Salvation’. He goes back to the incredible good news of the gospel, and gives a powerful reminder of all Jesus did on the cross.

This week we launch our City Groups, as we take a deeper look at the bible together. Phil gives us a head-start this week, looking at how we find our story in the big story of scripture

This week Sarah continues her message on Ephesians 6:13, this time looking at what it means to stand.

This week Sarah looks at the reality that we are in a spiritual battle and our walk is always in partnership with God. At times there are things for us to do, to pay attention to and put our hand to and we looked this morning at some of the "all things" we need to do. At other times all we need do or can do is stand, trust in God and wait for him to do.

The Normal Christian Life can be grown and sustained from a foundation of our identity. This week we dived into John 15 where Jesus gives us a clear picture of a life that can grow and produce lasting fruit.

This week Mark talks to us about the seasons and change in our lives, and how to respond to them in faith.

As sons and daughters of God, we get the incredible privilege of imparting courage, confidence and hope into the lives of others; helping people see who Jesus is and what He's doing. This week, Santino speaks to us on encouragement, and how our encouragement should always point toward Him.

This week, Sarah talks about becoming so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking, and how to avoid it.

This week, Sarah explores what it is to know and believe God and walk in understanding.

This week Phil looks at going beyond mere obedience into a life full of faith.

Santino shares with how hunger is sustained through a disciplined life.

It was such a joy to host Jimmy & Genea Horner from RDSN, Mexico this week. Jimmy shares on the process to faith, and you can check out the video we played at http://rdsn.org/romania/

Seasons of waiting are an opportunity to lean into God with prayers of anticipation, which lead to preparation for what He's going to do. Special guest speaker Banning Liebscher.

Sarah shows us that staying humble or "poor in spirit" is a key to staying hungry

Mark invites us to be intentional in our pursuit of God, showing us that working out our spiritual hunger looks like making some practical choices about how we live our lives.

We continue looking at how worship and hunger relate, with Penny and Jon looking at some of the Hebrew words for praise.

Phil is joined by some of our worship leaders as we look at how worship and our hunger for God are interwoven.
