In Luke 4, Jesus faces one challenge after another. He confronts the devil in the wilderness, is rejected by His own hometown, nearly thrown off a cliff, and then encounters a demon in the synagogue. Yet through it all, He never lost sight of His mission. In this message, So He Kept On, Caleb Pierce reminds us that faithfulness isn’t proven when life is easy—it’s revealed when we refuse to quit. N...

Rejection is something we all face—but it doesn't have to define our story. In this powerful message from Acts 4:1–11, Ali Pierce reveals how God has a way of redeeming what the world rejects. The same Jesus who endured the greatest rejection in human history became the source of the greatest redemption the world has ever known. If you've experienced rejection, disappointment, or the pain of being...

In Mark 7, we encounter the story of a little girl in desperate need of freedom. As we read the account, one question rises to the surface: Where is the father? In this Father's Day message, Caleb Pierce issues a heartfelt call to action. Our world is longing for the presence, guidance, and engagement of fathers who will show up, stand in the gap, and refuse to be absent from the moments that matt...

What if the pain you're experiencing isn't the end of the story? In Part 2 of Slow Then Sudden , Caleb Pierce continues exploring the pattern of God's work revealed in Acts 2 and Joel 2. While seasons of waiting, disappointment, and uncertainty can feel overwhelming, they are never the final chapter for those who trust in Him. This message reminds us that our story does not end in pain. What feels...

We were honored to welcome our dear friend Pastor Fred Bennett back to Vivacious for a powerful and heartfelt message on The Family of God . In this timely word, Pastor Fred reminds us that we were never meant to walk alone. As members of God's family, we are called to reflect His heart through generosity, encouragement, and genuine care for one another. Having been blessed by God, we are invited...

Sometimes a service becomes more than a message—it becomes a moment. During this gathering, the Holy Spirit moved in a unique and special way, leading us into a rich prophetic flow marked by His presence, encouragement, and direction. Whether you joined us in the room or are experiencing it for the first time, we invite you to lean in and listen with an open heart. We believe God is still speaking...

Some moves of God begin slowly . . . quietly . . . almost unnoticed. But once it begins to break open, there is no stopping what God has set in motion. On Pentecost Sunday, Caleb Pierce walks through Acts 2 and Joel 2 to reveal the pattern of God’s unfolding work: slow, then sudden. The disciples waited faithfully in obedience and expectation, and when the Spirit finally moved, everything changed...

What happens when you finally see God rightly—as Father? In this message, Isaac Lewis explores the resting place of God’s love and the freedom that comes from living secure in His heart toward us. So much of fear, striving, and anxiety flows from distorted views of God, but when we encounter Him as a loving Father, everything begins to change. This word invites us into a life of rest, trust, and a...

In this final installment of When God Says No, we return to Acts 16 and see how the Gospel was stewarded in an environment that looked far more like a home than the empire of Rome. While Rome built its kingdom through power and control, God chose tables, families, and open hearts. The early church did not grow through spectacle–it grew through people making room for the presence of God in everyday...

In Acts 16, Paul discerned a cry that others did not hear—and his obedience became the catalyst for the gospel to enter a region still untouched by the good news. That same kind of cry is rising out of Memphis, Tennessee, and the Church is responding. While we typically share only messages from our Sunday gatherings, there was a distinct prophetic movement in this time together that we felt compel...

In Acts 16, Paul has a vision in the night—a man from Macedonia pleading, “Come over and help us.” It was more than a moment… it was a cry . In this installment of When God Says No , Caleb Pierce challenges us to ask a sobering question: Can you hear the cry? In a world full of noise, it’s easy to miss the voices God is trying to bring to our attention. But when we are led by the Spirit, we begin...

There’s a powerful shift in Acts 16 where the language suddenly changes—Luke stops saying “they” and starts saying “we.” What was once their story becomes our story . In Part 4 of When God Says No , Caleb Pierce unpacks this hinge moment and what it means for us today. Following God was never meant to be observed from a distance—it’s an invitation into participation. At some point, faith moves fro...

When God’s manifest glory enters the room, everything shifts. We lay down our own agenda and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit without hesitation. What was meant to be an ordinary service became a holy moment — a divine encounter that left a lasting imprint on our hearts.

Deep inside every human heart is the same question: What is God really like? On Resurrection Sunday, Caleb Pierce takes us through John 20 and 2 Corinthians 3 to reveal that Jesus is the perfect picture of the Father. In the resurrection, we don’t just see power—we see personality , compassion, and the true nature of God on full display. This message invites us to move beyond assumptions and encou...

Is your praise dependent on your circumstances—or is it rooted in something deeper? In Part 3 of When God Says No, Caleb Pierce calls us to tend to the river—to cultivate a life of praise that flows in every season, not just when things are going well. Too often, our worship rises and falls with our situation, but God is inviting us into something steadier, deeper, and unshakable. This message cha...

What do you do when God closes a door and calls a season to an end? In Part 2 of When God Says No , Caleb Pierce dives into the way we navigate the closing of one season while embracing the next. God doesn’t just lead us forward by what He opens—He also leads us by what He ends. Learning to recognize, honor, and respond to those endings is essential to stepping fully into what He has prepared. Thi...

We were honored to welcome special guest and friend of the house, Fred Bennett, back to Vivacious Church. Have you ever considered the true power of friendship? What if reaching the lost wasn’t about strategy or presentation, but simply about making a friend ? At the heart of the gospel is relationship—God drawing near to us, and inviting us to do the same for others. In this timely and heartfelt...

How do you respond when God says no ? The doors God closes are just as important as the ones He opens. In Acts 16, we see that the Spirit of God didn’t just guide Paul by permission—He also guided him by prohibition. Sometimes the clearest direction from God comes not through opportunity, but through restraint. In this timely message, Caleb Pierce explores the wisdom of trusting God’s closed doors...

John 7 opens with two powerful words: “After this…” Those words come on the heels of everything Jesus faced in John 6—misunderstanding, pressure, opposition, and people walking away. Yet He kept moving forward. He didn’t quit. He didn’t compromise. He didn’t lose sight of the Father’s timing. In Part 3 of Not Yet My Time , Caleb Pierce unpacks what it means to step into an “After This” season —a s...

How secure are you in God’s timing? Do you trust Him enough to pray, in the middle of waiting, “Father, strip my life down to the studs” ? In Part 2 of Not Yet My Time , Caleb Pierce leads us through John 7 and challenges us to embrace the hidden work God does before public breakthrough. This message invites us to let God rebuild what waiting exposes—and to trust that delay is often preparation, n...

What if we could fully embrace the season we’re in, even when it’s not where we’re ultimately headed? God’s desire is for our internal world to be so whole that our current season doesn’t define us. Join Caleb Pierce for a special online-only service as we dive into John 7. Vivacious Church Memphis, TN VivaciousChurch.com @VivaciousChurch

In the final installment of our New Year, New Wine series, we come to a moment many of us feel—but often misunderstand: the stretching . In Luke 5, Jesus reminds us that new wine requires new wineskins. Stretching is rarely comfortable. It exposes limits, challenges old habits, and confronts familiar ways of thinking. Yet, what if the stretching itself is evidence that God trusts you with somethin...

What is keeping you from new wine? Could it be that your insistence on an explanation is keeping you from the experience God is inviting you into? Our demand for answers often blind us to the opportunity right in front of us.

In Part 2 of New Year New Wine, Caleb Pierce confronts a hard but necessary truth: God will not pour new wine into old wineskins. Jesus teaches that new wine demands new wineskins. This means God’s next move in your life requires a new posture, a renewed heart, and a willingness to let go of old ways. This message challenges us to examine the gap between expectation and experience and asks a defin...
