Vine Thrive Podcast

In this great message Mel explores how we can move from a world view to a WORD view where God is central to our thoughts and decisions. Often we are emotionally driven but when we have a WORD view we are eternally driven. God is His grace wants us to grow and change and sometimes that stretching can feel uncomfortable but His way is always better.

Mel challenges us in this message to focus on WWJD - What Would Jesus Do? as opposed to focussing on the WEEDS - What Everyone Else Does.

When a caterpillar is being transformed into a glorious butterfly it first digests itself into an oozy soup. Yet in this oozy mess a beautiful work of transformation is happening. Listen in this message how God can transform what feels like an oozy mess into a beautiful new creation.

Aaron Dowds - The beauty and adventure of the long journey | 07/05/2023 by The Vine Church - Dunfermline

Peace is hard to find. Planet earth and the environment is at risk. News of wars still dominates our news. Life is full of difficulties and challenges; relationships breakdown, health can fail, poverty can strike, and anxiety can feed on our fear of what might happen even when it probably won't. But today I want to explain the good news of the gospel; how followers of Jesus have a spiritual passport that allows us to experience perfect peace. A peace that Paul the apostle describes as beyond understanding. A peace that the does not come from our state of mind, our circumstances, our past, our future or our present but on the very presence of God Himself in our lives and the truth and light that the teachings of Jesus brings to our minds.

Do you remember that sweet, precious moment of revelation that something had changed in your heart, that you were different now? For some it is a earth shaking, ground breaking, road to Damascus experience but for most its a slower process of transformation that takes time, faith, perseverance and surrender. The journey to wholeness is part of God's plan for you. He called YOU, redeemed YOU by grace and now the same power that raised Christ from the dead, lives in YOU! He LIVES in you and he wants to lovingly restore and heal the areas of your heart that can only be reached by him.

Did you know that as Christians we are called to have and live with a sixth sense so that we are able to determine the best choices to make?

Every day we have choices to make. We have to choose between right and wrong, good and evil but also between good and the best. Not every good opportunity that is presented to you is the best choice. Not everything that is good is right for you. You need a sixth sense to choose what is best and to examine situations carefully.

Exercising your sixth sense will help you experience the abundant life, it will keep you from dangerous paths, it will prevent you from slipping and stumbling, it will protect you from fear and help you to sleep soundly like a baby.

This sixth sense in the Bible is called discernment. In this message, we look look at an example in the Old Testament of a King who lacked discernment and learn how we can live with discernment and walk in love and the abundant life Jesus offers.

Easter Service at Vine Church in Dunfermline, Scotland, UK

“Where before we were hopeless, before we always fell short, before we were defeated by ourselves, before we lived in darkness….

When we put our faith in Jesus and His resurrection…..

Now we live in the light, now we have victory, now we have new birth……NOW WE HAVE HOPE. And this Hope is alive, Jesus is alive, we are alive in Him”
