New Growth Groups Launch From 12th September
Follow the weekly sermon:
In this group we we will follow the sermon of the previous Sunday. In the past number of years, Jesus has taken us, as individuals and as a community in Dublin Vineyard, on a journey into a much deeper understanding of his boundless riches. He is showing us how we can respond to, and understand, those riches in a way that allows Him to change us more deeply. Giving Him access to those places in our lives where, maybe, we thought we'd never be able to change. It has been a journey of transformation! This Growth group follows the sermon series, as it aims to highlight the significant components of that journey that Jesus is taking us on. We hope that this will contribute to the transformation that Jesus is making in each one of us and in our community as He changes us into the kind of community that He originally intended for his church to be and also that we would become the kind of people that He originally intended us to be. So, expect to be amazed.

Mere Christianity:
By C.S.Lewis
Book 4 - Part 1
Mere Christianity is one of the most popular Christian books of the twentieth century. It has helped many from our community understand their true identity as children of God and discover more deeply the newness of life found in Christ. Many have found the material in the group to be transformational and it has helped them to take their next steps on their spiritual journey.
In each of these growth groups, we will study specific parts of C.S. Lewis’s writings over a period of between 6 and 12 weeks. Engaging with this material is very rewarding, and, as we dig deeper, we want to 'fan into flame' the fire of the Holy Spirit, and see people finding the “newness of life” that Jesus offers.
The intention of this group is not to simply get through the material , but to allow this work have a profound impact on the way we understand the boundless riches of Christ (Eph 3:8), and respond in a way that is truly transformational.

Jano arrived in Ireland with his wife for an adventure 5 years ago from South Africa. They’ve been part of Dublin Vineyard ever since since, and have grown immensely as children and disciples of The Lord. A year and a half ago they were blessed with a little boy. Jano loves being in The Lord’s presence and I cant help getting excited about His love and grace and gets emotional when he thinks about “Jesus' love for me”. God is great!!!

Em O Deus pródigo, Tim Keller usa sua sabedoria marcante para desvendar a essência da mensagem de Jesus por trás da parábola do Filho Pródigo. Tim resgata o sentido da mensagem inesperada de esperança e graça contida nessa história que o autor chama de “A Parábola dos Dois Filhos Perdidos”, onde Jesus revela a abundante graça do Pai tanto para o filho perdido quanto para o religioso. Neste livro, Keller expõe os fundamentos essenciais da fé cristã e seus argumentos desafiam e encorajam tanto os que estão longe da fé e os recém-convertidos, quanto os cristãos já familiarizados com essa parábola.
In "The Prodigal God," Tim Keller uses his striking wisdom to unveil the essence of Jesus' message behind the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Tim rediscovers the meaning of the unexpected message of hope and grace contained in this story that the author calls "The Parable of the Two Lost Sons," where Jesus reveals the abundant grace of the Father for both the lost son and the religious one. Tim exposes the essential foundations of the Christian faith, and his arguments challenge and encourage those far from the Father, the new Christians, as well as those already familiar with this parable.

Hi, my name is Leonardo Santos. I'm Vania's husband and Laura's (6) daddy. I grew up in Picos, Piauí, Brazil and spent a significant part of my life in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, serving the church through music and leadership. In 2018, I accepted the challenge from a technology company to move to Dublin, and here I am. This challenge was accompanied by a calling to serve Jesus in the local community wherever the Lord placed us. Now, with great joy, after plugging in the guitar, we have begun this new journey with fellow believers in getting to know Jesus.
