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.

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.

"Why am I so depressed?" Psalm 42 asked this question 3,000 years ago. In this series finale of "Life is a Rodeo," we tackle depression and provide practical steps to finding hope again.

Our spiritual journey includes ups and downs, highs and lows, mountaintops and valleys. It’d be nice if we could skip the struggle and suffering and live in perfect blessing, but life often has more complexities than we realize. We can see the bigger picture by placing our hope in Jesus Christ and learning to walk with God through hardships. The truth is: there are parts of our spiritual maturity that are only developed in the midst of pain. Listen in as we continue our series on ‘Spiritual Puberty.’

When life gets hard, a gap grows between your present reality and your hopes and dreams. Sometimes your past looks better than your future. But God has a message of hope for the discouraged. He is near to the brokenhearted and promises a future more glorious than we can imagine!

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.

As we continue our series “Promises,” Jeff unpacks Paul’s prayer for the church in Ephesus. In this passage, we’re promised to grow in three areas of our spiritual lives: the knowledge of God, our confident hope in Christ, and the understanding of God’s power for us who believe. Listen in as Jeff explores a practical way to grow in spiritual maturity as well.
