Empty: Empty Wallets
April 14, 2024 22:00 - 39 minutes - 49.8 MBEmpty wallet. Empty bank account. How could those things have anything to do with resurrection? Jesus’ life giving advice on money isn’t go forth and chase “up and to the right” or “more, more, more.” Instead, Jesus’ path towards abundance goes once again through loss. Can we trust Jesus with our finances? Whatever our answer is, come and consider how following Jesus with our money can lead to flourishing. - Series Description - Following our Easter service exploring the power of ...
Empty: Empty Schedule
April 07, 2024 22:00 - 54 minutes - 73.8 MBFollowing our Easter service exploring the power of the empty tomb, we will spend several weeks looking at how resurrection changes emptiness. Because of the resurrection, we know that empty things can be blessed. And some things need to be emptied to be consecrated for blessings that go far beyond what we can see. How do our schedules, wallets, contacts, and more need to be emptied in order for us to experience God’s abundance? Come and learn more this Sunday. - Series Description...
Resurrection & Redefinition
March 31, 2024 22:00 - 20 minutes - 24.6 MBWhat’s a time you’ve had something redefined? Was it sudden or over time? Some of us have woken up with an ordinary understanding of some specific part of our life and by the time we went to sleep, everything was different. Others had that change happen over months, years, decades. This Easter, we remember that Jesus’ followers went through a whirlwind of emotions after Jesus’ death leading to his resurrection. Grief. Offense. Shock. Doubt. Belief. In the morning, the offense of som...
Loving the Poor Through Word and Deed: Longing for Jubiliee
March 24, 2024 22:00 - 35 minutes - 43.9 MBWhat if tomorrow brought freedom to all people and the land? This was God's vision of Jubilee, a time when the Israelites were invited to take a break from harvesting every 50 years to let the land rest and enjoy the abundance God would provide. They were also called to free all enslaved people. This is the essence of Jubilee. Where are you longing for Jubilee today? This week, Kim will discuss the vision and imagination that God invited the Israelites to embrace for a new way of l...
Loving the Poor Through Word and Deed: Living Openheartedly
March 17, 2024 22:00 - 38 minutes - 47.8 MBOver the past few weeks during this season of Lent, we’ve been spending time considering God’s heart for those who are materially poor. There is Gospel good news for all of us in this call to love the poor. And yet, we can so easily miss the good news altogether because we get entangled and distracted with other things, like wealth, and stability, and worry. This week, Tina will be sharing more about scripture’s challenging invitation for us to open our hands and to be set free from...
Loving the Poor Through Word and Deed: What's Love Got to do With It?
March 10, 2024 22:00 - 37 minutes - 45.6 MBJesus’ famous last words dealt with being known by one’s love. What does love have to do with the poor, service, and justice? A lot, it turns out. Love isn’t just motivation to do work with and among the marginalized. Love is how we will be recognized as disciples, students of Jesus. On Sunday, we have the privilege of hearing someone who has walked this out in word and deed. Rob Morris, CEO and Co-Founder of Love146, will share his story, the story of his organization which works t...
Loving the Poor Through Word and Deed: God Identifies With the Poor
March 03, 2024 23:00 - 1 hour - 79.5 MBYou shall not oppress a stranger; you know the heart of a stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt (Exod 23:9). The remarkable text from Matt 25 about the sheep and the goats and the "least of these" has been with us every week so far in our series on "Loving the Poor in Word and Deed" as we've explored how we serve and encounter Jesus when we feed, clothe, house, welcome, visit, and otherwise care for the poor. This week we continue our series with a look at how God i...
Loving the Poor Through Word and Deed: Expecting to See Jesus in the Marginalized
February 25, 2024 23:00 - 40 minutes - 50.1 MBIn the famous parable of the sheep and the goats, both parties are surprised by Jesus’ connection with the poor — even the ones who have seen Jesus through their feeding, clothing, visiting, and compassionate service. Through our hearing of the story, we don’t have to be surprised anymore that we can see Jesus in the face of the poor. Instead, our compassion for the poor and marginalized can now become our worship of and encounter with Jesus. With that hope, we’ll go deeper on Sunda...
Loving the Poor Through Word and Deed: Who is the Poor?
February 18, 2024 23:00 - 39 minutes - 53.7 MBWho is “the poor”? What does that phrase even mean anyway? Throughout the Bible, that phrase is used to describe people God wants to remember, serve, include, and relieve. Yet, we often forget these people. During this Lenten season, we’re remembering this group and God’s call for us to serve the marginalized amongst us. In Matthew 25, Jesus has surprising news about who they are. Hint: it involves Jesus in a big way. Could Jesus’ revelation change our lives, our church, and our cit...
S I N: Sin
February 04, 2024 23:00 - 46 minutes - 60.6 MBAfter exploring four weeks on hospitality, we will dive into one of the most contested topics when it comes to hosting others — SIN. Jesus was constantly accused of spending time with tax collectors and sinners, unsavory types. Religious experts thought Jesus minimized God’s law. Jesus wasn’t just full words and teaching on the matter either; he touched the untouchable who were thought to carry sin’s contagion. Our Sinless Savior wants to teach us a thing or two about how to view an...

Warmed: Holy Spirit
January 28, 2024 23:00 - 52 minutes - 65.8 MBOur January teaching series on Hospitality has explored how we need to be hosted by God with the gifts of love, home, and family that God gives us and then give those gifts in turn to others. We conclude our series with the gift that makes all of those (and more) possible-- the gift of himself in the Holy Spirit. When Jesus, who welcomes sinners (Luke 15:2), ascends to heaven, he sends the Spirit to his followers whose growing numbers represent an ever-widening circle of those into ...
Warmed: Family
January 21, 2024 23:00 - 36 minutes - 47 MBThe loneliness epidemic in our country impacts our city and our church. Even with people around us and in our lives, we can ask who is our family? Once we receive family, we have a choice. Do we hoard sacred and beloved relationships? Or do we connect other people to life-giving relationships and see that family grow. When we’re warmed, we provide warmth. That’s the hope. So, what does it mean that we have a God, who is a Loving Parent —one whom Jesus calls his “Heavenly Father.” Ca...
Warmed: Home
January 14, 2024 23:00 - 33 minutes - 41.9 MBLast week, we kicked off our series, Warmed, by proclaiming and experiencing God’s love. Even though God’s love is abundant, we can act like it is as scarce as warmth in the winter. How can we show God’s warmth to others when we haven’t received it ourselves lately? We need to be hosted first by God with the gifts God gives us (love, home, family, and the Spirit). Then, we’re called to give those gifts away to the Church, neighbors, strangers, and enemies. This week, we’ll explore h...
Warmed: A Series on God's Hospitality
January 07, 2024 23:00 - 49 minutes - 49.4 MBHave you ever been so cold that you don’t share a blanket? When you finally get some warmth in the winter, sharing it is not so easy. Sometimes, we simply need to be warmed in order to share that warmth with others. This is often true for God’s lavish love and hospitality. How can we show God’s warmth to others when we haven’t lately received it ourselves? In our first sermon series of the new year, we will talk about the gifts God gives us (love, home, family, and the Spirit) as ou...
Expecting a Bigger Story: Humility
December 17, 2023 23:00 - 31 minutes - 35.4 MBWhen we think of humility, we often think about lowering ourselves and our self-worth so as to not seem prideful or arrogant. What if being humble is not about taking on a false worth but actually stepping into the fullness of who God created you to be? What does that mean in the scheme of God's bigger story that He is writing? Join us this Sunday as we look at how John the Baptist's humility helped pave the way for the coming of Jesus. Series Description - In Advent, we remember ...
Expecting a Bigger Story: Doubt
December 10, 2023 23:00 - 37 minutes - 39.1 MBAll of us, at some point, have wrestled with belief and unbelief. When we doubt, sometimes it causes us to wonder - do our questions and uncertainty cut us off from God? Could any of God's promises still be real and trustworthy in the face of our own unbelief? How can we still cling to the bigger story of our faith when we're not sure? This Sunday, Tina will be leading us in an exploration of disbelief, faithful rescue, and kingdom perspective through the story of Zechariah’s angeli...
Expecting a Bigger Story: Hope
December 03, 2023 23:00 - 24 minutes - 24.1 MBIn Advent, we remember the anticipation of many who were looking forward to the birth of Jesus. In Advent, we also expect and look forward to the second coming of Jesus. Both parts of Advent help us expand our own story — it started well before us and it is connected to something beyond us. As we expect a bigger story than just our own, we grow in hope, we shake off doubt, we foster humility, and we learn just how central Jesus is to all of that. A few months ago, we began a journey...
Empowered: Come, Holy Spirit
November 26, 2023 23:00 - 47 minutes - 57.1 MBLast week, we learned that “can I pray for you right now” is a helpful question to encourage real-time compassion, discipleship, and service to others. This week, we’ll engage “come Holy Spirit” as a powerful prayer to call on the Spirit’s power. This is an ancient prayer that has its roots in the disciples waiting on the Spirit at Pentecost before the Spirit fills them all and leads them to new and deepened connection with God. This Sunday, Mike Turrgiano, a Vineyard pastor from NY...
Empowered: Can I Pray for You Right Now?
November 19, 2023 23:00 - 45 minutes - 58.2 MBIn the last few weeks, we proclaimed that spiritual gifts like prophecy and healing are from God and are meant to build up the Body. We also demonstrated this through some practical exercises around these gifts that have yielded some good stories. Praise God! Our Empowered series continues looking at how any number of these spiritual gifts operate in the real world by asking this simple question: Can I pray for you right now? This question is a favorite of the Vineyard, and we see i...
Empowered: Healing
November 12, 2023 23:00 - 53 minutes - 64.2 MB"...and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal..." (Luke 9:2) The accounts of Jesus's public life and ministry in the gospels of the New Testament can be roughly divided between stories of Jesus's healing ministry, his teaching and dialogue with disciples, crowds, and religious leaders, and the extended narrative of his arrest and crucifixion. The gospels make abundantly clear that Jesus spends *a lot* of time healing people and commissions his followers to do t...
Empowered: The Way of Love, The Way of Prophecy
November 05, 2023 23:00 - 41 minutes - 48 MBAfter one of the most famous passages on love ever written, Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians says, “follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.” Huh? What do love, spiritual gifts, and prophecy have to do with one another? This Sunday, we will explore how prophecy is relevant today — not as a plot to a convoluted superhero movie, but for the building up of communities in love — inside and outside the Church. - Series Description...
Empowered: The Holy Spirit is Near
October 29, 2023 22:00 - 39 minutes - 55.1 MBLast week, we looked at how Jesus invites us to Kingdom ministry alongside Him. We took a risk and sent out a few folks to pray for others on the green during service to see what God would do and got to hear testimonies of how God showed up. This week, Andy Saperstein will look at how Jesus and Elijah were able to notice and act upon the shouts and whispers of God both in season and out of season. - Series Description - Empowered is a practical sermon series on how Jesus’ work to ...
Empowered: Sending Out the 72
October 22, 2023 22:00 - 41 minutes - 53.7 MBLast week, we talked about Jesus’ declaration that the Kingdom of God is at hand. We even practiced as a church as we did some real time Kingdom ministry during service. This week, we’ll continue that work as we unpack how Jesus invites us to Kingdom ministry alongside him. It is Jesus’ Kingdom, but we are all invited to pray in the power of the Holy Spirit to see it change our lives, the lives of people around us, our neighborhoods, and beyond. - Series Description - Empowered i...
Empowered: Kingdom of God
October 15, 2023 22:00 - 47 minutes - 60 MBWhat is the Kingdom of God? Is it now or not yet? As we begin our series, Empowered, we will start with an introduction of Jesus’ core message: the Kingdom of God is at hand. This Kingdom story is our story. Come and learn more. - Series Description - Empowered is a practical sermon series on how Jesus’ work to bring the Kingdom empowers us to live and minister in a whole new way through the Holy Spirit. Whether it’s the call to do Kingdom ministry like Jesus, to lean out in spir...
The Power of Our Stories: The Power of Expecting God to Work in and Through Community
October 08, 2023 22:00 - 39 minutes - 42.4 MBAs we’ve looked at our stories over the last few weeks, it’d be easy to see our stories as purely individual affairs connected to the person of God. After all, it’s my story! Right? Well, there is a power in stories not being only our own. Our stories are impacted and influenced by others. Our stories flourish in community. Many of our best stories include invitations from others, interruptions by others, and real risks and vulnerability to connect with one another —even folks less ...
The Power of Our Stories: The Power of Suffering Righteously in Your Story
October 01, 2023 22:00 - 45 minutes - 48.4 MBHow do you live out a story of worship even when wronged? This isn’t just the story of Jesus; it’s our story. It might not be a surprise to learn that our way of responding is different than Jesus’ way. Jesus was wronged repeatedly. And yet, he still chooses love. Learning the story of this kind of suffering might not be attractive, especially when we know that Jesus was killed for this kind of love. However, Jesus’ love and his suffering have a greater story of outlasting the wrong...
The Power of Our Stories: Moses | The Story of Our Calling
September 24, 2023 22:00 - 38 minutes - 43.4 MBWhat is your calling? This simple question can begin existential crises. Who am I, we ask? What if, however, our calling is less who we are and more what we find we cannot stop doing over the long haul. In good seasons, in bad seasons. Looking at our calling through the lens of our story, we can find patterns, habits, and rhymes that help us understand the call God has on our lives. Through the bigger story of God, we learn we’re all God’s children. That’s the foundation. Through Go...
The Power of Our Stories: Abraham | The Power of Trusting "Go and I Will Show" Invitations
September 17, 2023 22:00 - 46 minutes - 45.9 MBOur Stories series continues with a look at a story that invites us to trust. After hearing about the gift and power of stories, the primacy of love in our stories, and the way stories rhyme with goodness, we’re going to take a deeper dive into the stories of several folks from the Bible. As we consider what it means to trust God even when we don’t have all the details, we’ll look at the story of Abram. His journey began with a call to go and no clear arrival point. That can feel ba...
The Power of Our Stories: Children & The Kingdom of God
September 03, 2023 22:00 - 41 minutes - 39.9 MBJoin us this week as Kyanna shares about the power and importance of stories from our childhood. - Series Description - Revelation 12:11 says that we have overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Our stories are powerful tools that reveal how God has been and continues to be at work in our lives and are meant to be weapons against the enemy. Come and hear about the power of our stories.

Be Not Afraid: For I am With You in Your Youth

Be Not Afraid: For I am With You in Battle
July 24, 2023 02:16 - 44 minutes - 40.6 MBThis week, Tina will be taking us deeper into God's invitation to not fear in the face of battle, through the lens of an ancient king who stood firm in battle by embracing his powerlessness and taking up worship as his weapon against the advancing enemy. - Series Description - Scripture records variations of this phrase so many times. Be Not Afraid. Fear not. Do not be afraid for God is with you. God says it. Angels say it. Jesus says it. People say it. Why is it such a repeated e...
Be Not Afraid: When God invites us deeper into His Story
July 16, 2023 22:00 - 42 minutes - 43.1 MBGod wants us to know that we do not have to fear. Whether it’s simply how harsh life can be or whether it’s opportunities God speaks to us about it, the fear we face can come either way. Today, Josh will explore both of those scenarios — the fears of life and the fear that comes when God invites us deeper into His story. After all, we have a story where fear can lose its volume as we grow and mature even if our fears change over time, shifting to stop the growth God has for us. As w...

June 25, 2023 22:00 - 36 minutes - 34.2 MBThis week we connect rest with play. - Series Description - Rest can seem so elusive in our fast-paced culture and our own choices to cooperate with such a breakneck speed.

Using the framework for a healthy Sabbath - pause, pray, and play, we’ll slow down to think about how we can foster Sabbath rhythms for u...
