Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most famous Bible verses — a passage the promises good things, a wonderful future, and a powerful hope. But without the context, we can sometimes miss the deeper meaning. The surrounding verses remind us that we are called to be ‘resident missionary’s,’ to plant and establish our lives where God calls us, and to build a foundational faith that gets passed on for generations to come. Then, from this place of being resident missionary’s, we can point people to the wonderful vision and hope of Jesus Christ — the One who has come to make all things new.

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.

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.
