Join us for part 2 of Salt and Light. In the sermon on the mount, Jesus covered so much but he began by listing the attributes of those who are blessed. Then Jesus said “You are the salt of the earth” (those whom He was describing as blessed). By being the salt of the earth, we have the opportunity to have influence over others. We can leverage our influence to advance His kingdom (like Jesus did...

Join us for part one of a new series called “Salt and Light”. In Part 1, Pastor Matt Smith, unpacks the importance of our influence, challenging us to protect it and leverage it to build God’s kingdom.

Join us for part 7 of our series, “Win Within”. This week Pastor Matt Smith leans back into part of King David’s story. We watch as on the other side of sin David chooses concealment over confession. This is a dangerous pattern than many of us choose. But there is a better way. No matter how great the failure there is a way forward. And it starts with confession.

As we extend our series, “Win Within”, Pastor Matt Smith moves us into a look at one of the most epic failures in all of scripture. King David is known as “a man after God’s own heart”, yet somehow found himself in a series of sinful decisions. How? How did someone so faithful do something so foolish?

Throughout our lives we experience things that inflict wounds. Those wounds create a gap that only God’s grace can close. If we don’t find healing, in those gaps, bitterness will grow. When bitterness takes root it turns us into people we never thought we could be. Join us for part 4 of “Win Within” as Pastor Matt Smith walks us through more of Saul’s story, helping us to unroot any measure of bit...

We have decided 2021 will be the year we finally get out of our own way. Slaying the enemy within is not easy, but with God’s help, it’s possible. In part 3 of our series, “Win Within”, we continue to identify and overcome the weapons of self-destruction. Looking at the life of Saul, Israel’s first king, we learn valuable lessons and the danger of envy. Join us as we seek to break the cycle of sel...

In Part 2 of our series, “Win Within”, we continue to learn how to avoid the traps of self-sabotage. Identifying the weapons of self-destruction is key to getting out of our way and moving toward the life God desires for us. In a message entitled, “The Intention Deficit”, we dive once again into 1 Samuel and learn from the life of Saul. Join us as we learn some vital principles to overcoming our m...

Success in life is often most determined by winning the battle within. It’s the internal war not the external battles that most shape our lives. We are far too often victims of our own negative emotions. How the year ahead will shape out is much more about us than them. It’s much more about what’s happening in us than around us. King Saul is the perfect example of self-destruction. He had been cho...

In Part 7 of our annual Live. Love . series, Pastor Matt Smith continues to unpack the four pieces of the vision of Vintage Church. The church is more than just a place to sit in, it is a people to serve with. Vintage deeply believes the ministry of God’s church is the responsibility of all of God’s people. That is why we create an opportunity for everyone to discover and deploy their God-given gi...

The church can’t just know it’s mission, it has to find a vision that accomplishes it. At Vintage Church we accomplish our mission by creating four things that we believe have the potential to inspire people to live and love like Jesus. In Part 6 of Live Love 2020, Pastor Matt Smith unpacks the second piece of that vision. He challenges us to move beyond the weekend worship gathering and moving to...

In Part 5 of our annual Live Love series, Pastor Matt Smith begins to unpack the vision that accomplishes the mission. At Vintage Church there are four things we hope to create in order to inspire people to live and love like Jesus. We deeply believe if people will engage in all of these things, the result will be people consistently living out their faith. Join us as we dive into the vision behin...

Jesus made it very clear why we do church but left a lot of room for us to figure out how. He knew that how we would accomplish his mission would need to be different from generation to generation. It’s up to us to find a vision that makes the mission happen. It’s this reality that has created tension in the church. Everyone has a vision for how the church should accomplish its mission. Often that...

“Rigid and Fluid“ (10.18.20) In Acts 15 the church faces one of the most pivotal moments in its history. They have to determine where the church must be rigid and where it can be fluid. The tension between what’s essential and what’s non-essential has been one that has divided the church ever since. There are things that are essential, and on those things we must be rigid. There are things that ar...

“Identity through Adversity“ (10.11.20) As you walk through the book of Acts you get a glimpse into the early days of the church. There you quickly find that the church had to endure adversity from the onset. There have always been obstacles to overcome if the church was to survive. In part 2 of LiveLove 2020, Pastor Matt Smith reminds of what must matter most for the church to endure for decades...

“This One Thing“ (10.04.20) Inspiring people to live and live like Jesus is not the moto of an organization, it is the mission of everyone who calls Vintage Church home. Every year we carve out time to remember our “why”. Live. Love . is not just a series, it is the essence of who we are as a church. In part one, Pastor Matt Smith, shares his story, and how Vintage was birthed in his heart. As he...

We have spent the summer on a journey through the Gospel of John. In this final installment we dive into John’s reflection on Jesus’ death and resurrection. With his own eyes John saw Jesus willingly die and triumphantly rise again. These events are the cornerstone of our faith. God gave up his son that we may have life. Our debt has been paid, death has been defeated, and now we have the opportun...
