VerticalNTX Podcast

On this episode of the VineyardNTX Podcast, we talk about what it means to have a faith that doesn’t just comfort us but also challenges us. God welcomes us with mercy, but He also calls us to grow and take the next step in our walk with Him. Faith isn’t meant to leave us where we are—it’s meant to transform our lives, our families, and our communities. Sometimes that means facing truth, pushing p...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about what it means to be a church marked by mercy. At Vineyard, we want to be the kind of community where people can come in with their struggles, questions, and even disagreements, and still find love and grace. Mercy means giving each other space to work things out, instead of judging or pushing away. We also share a story from youth group where st...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about why serving matters in the life of a church family. Serving pulls us out of a “me first” mindset and reminds us that God designed us to honor others above ourselves. When we use our gifts, the love and grace of God are revealed in ways no one else can bring. A serving church is a strong church—one where people grow closer to each other and to Je...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we look at why small groups matter. God designed us for relationships, not isolation. From prayer to learning, laughing to growing, real community happens when we share life together. Even Jesus chose to walk closely with a small group of friends. His example shows us that deep, committed relationships are not optional—they’re essential. Small groups give us...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we ask the question: What makes a healthy church family?

From breaking free of isolation, to refusing gossip, to treating others with dignity, this message gives us simple, practical steps to live out faith together. A healthy chu...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we look at Jesus’ words to the church in Laodicea. They were wealthy, successful, and confident in themselves—yet their faith had grown lukewarm. Just like the muddy water that flowed into their city, they were no longer refreshing or useful for God’s purposes. This message reminds us how easy it is to trust in comfort, money, or self-sufficiency instead of J...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we explore the warning Jesus gave to the church in Sardis. From the outside, they looked alive—busy, active, and respected. But inside, they were spiritually asleep. Jesus calls His people not just to appear healthy, but to truly live with His Spirit breathing through them. This message reminds us that it’s not enough to look good on the surface. A church—or...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we look at what Jesus says to the churches in Pergamum and Thyatira. These churches remind us that while Jesus loves us even in our weakness, we can’t let sin or false teaching take root in our lives. In Thyatira, believers struggled with a false prophet—what Jesus calls a “Jezebel”—who claimed God’s authority but led people away from Him. We talk about what...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we examine the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia and the lessons they continue to teach us today. The church in Smyrna faced poverty, persecution, and hardship, but Jesus encouraged them to stay faithful even while suffering. We’re reminded that comfort isn’t the goal of the Christian life, and that this world is not our true home. When we follow Jesus, the...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we ask the question: How can we live strong, even when life gets tough? We talk about how healing and breakthrough in our own lives can help others too. But to get there, we have to spend real time with God—just like a sponge needs time to soak up water. It’s not about being perfect or hiding in shame. God already knows we’re not perfect, and He loves us anyw...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast , we look at how people often deal with pain in unhealthy ways—by staying busy, ignoring it, or pretending everything’s fine. But God doesn’t want us to hide our hurt. He invites us to slow down, name what’s really going on, and let Him be part of our healing. This episode reminds us that being honest about our pain isn’t weakness—it’s the beginning of deep so...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast , we begin a new series on Soul Care by looking at how God designed us to need care, comfort, and love—especially from a mother.

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast , we ask the question, Why Serve? by exploring how easy it is to lose sight of what really matters.

This episode reminds us that revival begins with the heart, and that returning to our first love is key...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast , we discuss how revival begins with prayer. Real change in our hearts and in our church begins when we talk to God often and don’t give up—even when it’s hard. Just like fans cheer on their team no matter what, we’re called to stay strong in prayer no matter how we feel. Prayer keeps us close to God and helps prepare us for the amazing things He has in store....

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast , we talk about what it means to leave behind our old, sinful ways and live a new life with Jesus. Paul teaches us to say “no” to things that pull us away from God and to choose a better path instead. It’s not always easy, but God helps us live with love, truth, and self-control. When we follow His way, we become stronger and more like Jesus every day. Thank y...

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast , we talk about how nothing—not even sin or darkness—can separate us from God's love. Jesus already paid the price for us, and His love fills every gap in our lives. Because of that, we’re free to live differently. We learn what it means to let sin lose its power and follow Jesus, even when we still face temptations. His love is stronger than anything that...
