Celebrate Christmas with Vineyard Church of the Rockies. Jeff shares about God’s ‘Good News of Great Joy.’ Jesus Christ, our Savior and King, is born to make all things right.

As Jeff continues our series titled ‘Joy to the World,’ we once again turn to scripture seeking an answer to one of life’s challenging questions: ‘How do I navigate times of both joy & grief?’ On this side of heaven, we still experience trials, challenges, and pain but thankfully the Bible is not silent on how to follow God in the midst of this tension. In this message, Jeff shares from the teachings of Jesus and his own personal life how to walk with God in the midst of joy & grief.

“Joy to the World,” is a famous Christmas carol but what happens when we talk a lot about joy and don’t experience it? Does ‘joy’ even matter to God? What does it actually mean, how can I cultivate joy in my life, and why should I even care? Listen in as we explore these questions and so much more because simply put: It’s time to reclaim your joy.

Jeff continues our series in a message titled: Limited Authority, Unlimited God. It’s true that God has given us a degree of authority (over what we eat, how fast we drive, or how we spend our money), but only Christ holds all things together through His authority over creation, the church, and even our lives. Since Christ has all authority—how can we respond and how can we partner with Him in all things?

Jeff continues our series by looking at one of the cultural lies of our day: ‘You have unlimited power and unlimited potential.’ When connected to Christ, the human heart is capable of amazing things - but even the most capable person is still incredibly limited, especially when compared to our unlimited God. Even more fascinating, Jesus Christ ‘limited’ His power while on earth… What does His example mean for us and what does it teach us about the cross?

Jeff & Natalie start a new series exploring what the birth of Christ can teach us about our human limits, God’s infinite power, and our role in the Kingdom. Listen in as we explore a few questions like: What does it mean to live within limits? What happens if we don’t? And how can embracing our limits help us worship God?

For our final message in the series (and for 2021), Jeff looks at the ‘unexpected response’ Mary had to the birth of Jesus Christ. On more than one occasion, we read that Mary, ‘treasured’ or ‘pondered all of these things in her heart.’ What does it look like to practice the spiritual discipline of ‘pondering’ this Christmas and how might it help our spiritual maturity and journey with Jesus?

As we continue the series ‘The Unexpected King,’ Jeff looks at some very unexpected gifts. What can we learn from Matthew 2? What journey can we follow with the wisemen from the Far East? Listen in as we discover the beauty of revelation of Christ as our King, the worship that follows, and the generosity that springs forth.

The entire birth narrative is full of unexpected miracles, angelic visitations, and as we see this week: unexpected guests. God’s choice of having the shepherds at Christ’s birth is an unexpected one—but we can learn much from their encounter & response to God’s goodness.
