How do we, those whose lives are founded in our experience of God’s mercy, whose minds are being renewed, how do we think?  In view of God's mercy, with the grace He has given us, we steward the gifts God has given you.  Why? To build a community unified by Jesus & His gospel. Thats the ‘win’!

Rehoboam is leading his people into rebellion against God. It is not just a problem from him and his people, but it's a problem with us and all of Humanity. Rehoboam is a failed king of a people who needed a greater king.  King Jesus, is ready to do a redemptive work in our lives. He is not phased by our failure, but reveals a need for a new work in our life.

October 24, 2023 13:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MB

The Stumbling Block | Romans 9:30-33

September 12, 2023 13:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MB

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing  we must not say. A man who is merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice.

Not All Heat Feels the Same | Genesis 42-46

July 25, 2023 13:00 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MB

Looking back (Rearview Mirror) gives us clarity & empowers our ability to look up & SEE GOD in each & every situation throughout our lives. In Joseph we are now starting to see how God was not only with him, & for him, but also providing through him for ALL His people. #Promises #Intentions

Hindsight | Genesis 41

July 18, 2023 13:00 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MB

Moses’ intention in sharing the life of Joseph is, on some level, to show us how trials are always clearer through the rearview mirror of life. When we look back at a complete story, we can clearly see how God is not only WITH us but FOR us. The present gap is not only for our good, but also for His glory. As HisStory unfolds we begin to see, receive, & more fully believe that  “His better TRULY IS better”!

Intentions - The Story Of Joseph | Genesis 37

June 27, 2023 13:00 - 43 minutes - 29.7 MB

All throughout humanity we see the brokenness of God's children on full display. Our lack of faith, our dark hearts and our evil intentions continue to play on repeat, but what man intends for evil, God transforms for good, and one of the best stories depicting this truth is the story of Joseph. This summer we will see the sovereignty of God, trumping the evil of man. Jesus is the true hero, working all things together for our good and His Glory (8:28), no amount of sin, brokenness and inten...

June 20, 2023 13:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MB

Paul calls us to consider the depth & magnitude of God’s love expressed to us. He sacrificed his greatest treasure so that we might become his children. What would He withhold if He has already given us His Son? The Love of Christ means we have nothing to fear, the Kingdom and the King’s victory are here! #GoodNews Vintage: a Church that lives in the certainty of the promise & love of God → There’s “No Bad News” in the Kingdom, we are “More than Conquerors”

The Promise | Romans 8:26-30

June 13, 2023 13:00 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MB

Paul wants us to know that ALL circumstances work for our good. What a promise. The challenge is to believe this in the middle of the ‘Grap’. Paul tells us: suffering is God’s plan for now, there are better days (eternity) ahead, the Holy Spirit helps us in our suffering, giving us a firm foundation of faith.  Perhaps the most accurate appraisal of our faith is when we are suffering. Do we actually trust that each and every circumstance will be used for our good?  Vintage: a church where ev...

Torn Apart? | Romans 7:13-25

May 09, 2023 13:00 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MB

May 02, 2023 13:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MB

Paul wants to make clear that the law is NOT evil rather it is a gift from God that makes us aware of the evil in our hearts.  Not only that, but the law actually activates the rebellion in our spirit to resist God as a good Father.  The law was a gift from Him to protect and provide true and eternal intimacy for his children.

Cut Flowers | Isaiah 53:1-6

April 11, 2023 13:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MB

Joyful Servanthood | Romans 6:15-19

April 04, 2023 13:00 - 42 minutes - 29.1 MB

 Paul wants it to be clear: Just because we are justified by grace doesn’t mean our behavior doesn’t matter.  He writes in order to continue to clarify our understanding of who we are through faith in Jesus & to empower us in our battle with sin.  Our attitudes & actions matter in terms of our eternal destiny. If we exhibit a lifestyle that doesn’t reflect God as master of our daily lives, we should NOT be confident that we belong to him. BUT if we have genuine faith in Christ, we will joyf...

For the first time in Romans, Paul gives us commands & marching orders for our “new life” as followers of Christ. Flowing out of 6:1-11, Paul moves from right thinking to right action. He states that “in Christ” the war with sin has been won (Justification) and yet our battle has just begun (Sanctification).
