Vortex Church | Sermon Audio

We all have the same 24 hours — but how we use them can shape everything about our relationships, our purpose, and our connection with God. Join us as we explore a surprising angle on generosity that hits closer to home than you might expect.

This week we’re talking about a kind of generosity that goes deeper than money—one that reaches into our attitudes, our choices, and our everyday relationships. God promises real fruit when we trust Him with every part of our lives, and this message explores how obedience opens the door to the peace and joy we’re all searching for. Get ready for a challenging and hope-filled word!

What if generosity wasn’t just about giving—it was about life and death? In this message, we go back to the very beginning, to the Garden of Eden, to uncover how one small act of disobedience set humanity on a path toward death—and how God’s design for generosity leads us back to life. This isn’t just about money; it’s about trust, boundaries, and the fruit that grows when we live with open hands.

Ever felt like what you have to offer isn’t enough? You’re not alone. This week’s message will challenge that thought and show how God uses even the smallest acts of faith to do something extraordinary.

Five our of our Vortex Students take five minutes each to share from John 15 about how God is working in their life through a storm. Colton Mikesell, Telan Huneycutt, Logan Aikman, Olivia Brooks, and Mason Hyatt take the stage to share a 5x5 for this week's First Wednesday.

Evil isn’t just something “out there”—it’s something we must all confront both in the world and in ourselves. Proverbs and Romans remind us that overcoming evil doesn’t come from fighting harder or repaying wrongs but by surrendering fully to God. Through Jesus, we overcome evil not with more rebellion, but with goodness, humility, and submission to His authority.

We all have a little bit of “fool” in us. During this message, Pastor Kevin is going to teach through Proverbs 14 and how it shows that foolishness comes when we let our appetites—like comfort, control, or attention—lead us instead of God. But wisdom calls us to something better: surrender and freedom through obedience to Him.

In Proverbs, God uses “labels” to describe different kinds of people — the wise, the foolish, the mocker, and the evil. These aren’t permanent titles but snapshots of where someone’s heart is. During the message, Pastor Kevin Simmons teaches us the importance of the labels and how we can see that God is inviting us to see where we are, so we can grow into who He’s calling us to be.

We continue in our Gen Now series with Maddie Brown, Student Pastor.

God is on the move in the next generation! At Vortex Church, we believe students and kids aren’t just the church of tomorrow—they’re the church of today. During this message, our Next Gen Pastor, Jen Barker, teaches us how we can invite, teach, and empower the next generation to live out an authentic, world-changing faith.

Guest Speaker, Pastor Jason Doran, tackles the challenging topic of forgiveness in a unique way we can all walk away with a better understanding of God's view of it.

Faith isn’t just believing in God—it’s choosing to live like His promises are true even when we can’t see them. In this message, we look at Hebrews 11 and discover that living by faith means filtering life through God’s Word, practicing irrational generosity, taking a stand in the face of opposition, and trusting God in the middle of every test.

During the message this week Pastor Kevin Simmons reminds us that even a little faith in Jesus can change everything. Like Peter stepping out on the water, our trust often wavers when we focus on fear instead of Christ. But when we shift our trust away from money, people, or our own understanding, and fully place it in God, we find that He is faithful and able to do the impossible.
