Vinelife Church Manchester Podcast

As we celebrate 30 years as a church family, Banning Liebscher (Jesus Culture) calls into a season of pioneering in the days to come.

We loved having Jimmy & Genea Horner from The Mission with us this week! As Christians, we're called to be the Family of God - but being family means giving our consistent 'yes' to one another! No matter the circumstance, we can learn to posture ourselves towards one another in love.

Continuing our Fully Alive series, Phil asks us how we're to show up in culture - the rest of the world around us - will will assimilate, feel threatened, withdraw or attempt to destroy that culture? Or will we embrace the challenge to influence culture?

Santino shares on our Baptism Sunday.

Drawing on 2 Kings 4:1-7, Zack invites us to use what we have in our hands for God and expect Him to bring increase. Our guest speaker Zack Curry is Director of Operations and City Pastor at Jesus Culture Sacramento.

Sarah unpacks one of the ways in which we're called to live out our Cultural Mandate - with excellence.

Phil opens up the "Cultural Mandate" given to us by God in Genesis 1:28, explores what it looks like for us to bring fruitfulness and flourishing to the places around us.

As we continue our Fully Alive series, Emma Hodges shares on the search for significance we all make, which is rooted in the exchange in the garden of Eden but can work its way into our daily lives.

Sarah shows us that key to our human flourishing is embracing both authority and vulnerability.

Andy launches our new season of City Groups by exploring what it means to be Created to Worship.

Sarah invites us to re-examine the pivotal moment of the human story: the cross of Jesus, which changes everything, forever!

As we start our new teaching series, Sarah invites us to take a fresh look at the beginning and ending of the human story, as outlined in the bible, which gives us new hope and understanding for how we live in the middle.

As we close out our Questions Jesus Asked series, Sarah looks at Luke 16:10-13. Here Jesus points to our finances as an indicator of our trustworthiness and whether God will entrust the true riches to us that are worth much more than money!

Phil walks us through Matthew 26:6-13, where an extravagant act of worship interrupts dinner and we ask ourselves: what will be our response to beauty?

As we continue our exploration of Questions Jesus Asked, Sarah looks as three questions Jesus had on the subject of prayer, calling us to look at the value and the discipline we have for prayer.

What kind of king washes his followers' feet? In this week's podcast Ralph takes a look at one of the most radical stories in the gospels and seek to understand what means for us as disciples of Jesus today.

This week Sarah looks at Jesus’ challenge to us from Matthew 5 - "If you love only those who love you, what reward do you have?" It calls us to move from what I’m obliged to do, what feels comfortable or convenient, or what I feel other people have earned from me and instead live motivated and empowered by grace; to see how I can love, respond and serve even my enemies.

This week Sarah looks at Jesus’ question from the cross: “Why have you abandoned me?” How do we navigate times when life is hard and God seems distant?

This week Santino tackled Jesus' question in Matthew - 'How many loaves do you have?' Jesus engaged with needs around him and helped his disciples do the same. It's the same for us today, he wants to do amazing things through us as we engage with the needs around us. God really does want to reach people through you! We carry the light, love and presence of Jesus to the world around us!

In this week’s podcast Emma explores themes of love and judgement in Jesus’ question ‘Why do you look at the speck in your brothers eye?’ She calls us to respond to one one another with compassionate correction instead of self-righteous superiority.
