Do you have ‘fair-weather faith?’ Jesus taught us that in this life, storms will come. The differentiator isn’t the strength of the storm coming against us or even the frequency — but Jesus said that those who build their life with God by listening & following will experience great wisdom, like someone who has built their home on bedrock. Does your faith survive the storm or does it only show up with the skies are clear and the wind is calm? Listen in as Jeff continues our series by exploring a life of wisdom.

It’s easy to forget our history with God - how He’s been faithful, compassionate, and even powerful in our past. Storms can have a way of making us forget, but Mark 4 reminds us of the power that Jesus has over chaos and how His power can grow our faith today. Listen in as Jeff and Natalie continue our series on ‘Storms,’ reminding us to not let the storms of life rob us of our history with God.

Storms, both literal and figurative, are part of our everyday life. In scripture we see much of the same: literal storms can redirect our plans and metaphorical ‘storms of life’ have a way of shaping our beliefs & trust in God. This week, Jeff looks at Paul’s famous shipwreck on the island of Malta. What can we learn about our faith through this literal storm and how can Paul’s response impact our relationship with God? Listen in as Jeff explores Acts 27 & 28 and how the storms of life can increase our experience of God’s presence & purpose in our lives.

Famous ‘pits’ include:‘The Pit’ from Parks & Rec where Andy Dwyer fell or the infamous “pit of despair” from Princess Bride. But in Psalm 40 we learn about the true pit of despair, a life knocked down and far from God. Thankfully, because of God’s great love He promises to rescue us from this pit of despair and consequently, one of our most natural responses is to Praise Him and Tell Others. Jeff continues our message by looking at how Psalm 40 is a great example of how we can share our faith with others.

What did the disciples do after the resurrection of Jesus? The scriptures have plenty of ‘next steps’ but one of the recurring themes was that they were supposed to ‘’Go & Tell The Others.” They were supposed to ‘witness’ to all they had seen & heard. If it was true for them, it must also be true for us. But witness to what? Witness how? And where? Jeff explores these questions in our opening sermon of the new series: “You Can’t Stay Here.”

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ changes everything. For the early church this was the Good News: through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus we can find hope for the future and purpose for today. Join us as we celebrate Easter at the Vineyard — embracing the eternal promise of Christ and His Kingdom in our everyday lives.

Jesus spoke seven times while dying on the cross and in our closing sermon for this series Jeff reads and explores each phrase. How did Jesus spend His last moments? What did our Savior say? What continued to be on His heart? May we hear the ‘dying words of Christ,’ and may we respond with awe, worship, and love.

During the crucifixion, most people deserted and abandoned Jesus — but a few remained at His side. In the dying moments of Jesus, He addressed a few individuals or ‘friends of the cross’ and by examining these interactions, we can learn a lot about our Savior and what it means to follow Him today.

How do we make sense of the old sacrificial system in light of Christ Crucified? Jeff digs into one of the most important days in ancient Israel’s history “The Day of Atonement” to explain the significance and power of the cross. Listen in as we discuss how our sins are not only covered and forgiven, but completely removed from our life as we are a new creation in Christ.
