Billings Vineyard Church Sunday Sermons

This week in the Luke series, Adam dives into Luke 10 and the story of the Good Samaritan. Adam points out that our behavior shouldn't just be about following rules--it should come from a transformed heart and a longing to have a relationship with Christ. In this story, we can unpack what it truly means to love our neighbor and define what "our neighbor" truly is. Jesus didn't just preach reconcil...

In Luke 9, Jesus leads His disciples to places that challenge their faith, shaping them for greater trust and obedience. Through moments like the Transfiguration, He reveals His divine nature and the specific ways He teaches us. Join Pastor Brad Hudson as we explore how Jesus grows our faith through challenges and revelations. Don't miss this powerful message!

This week, Adam explores the powerful message of knowing what being saved truly means. Some people don't even realize they're lost, while others know they are lost but don't understand just how deep their separation from God is. We often try to be a part of God's Story without fully grasping His story. When we realize how much we've been forgiven, it leads us to a deeper love and greater gratitude...

This week, Casper, Wyoming's Vineyard Pastor Walt Hill blessed us with a sermon. He talks about how our disappointment in others leads to disappointment that they didn't meet our unexpressed expectations. The same goes with God. We expect Him to work in our lives a certain way and then are disappointed with Him when it isn't what we expected. However, John questioned Jesus and Jesus still stood up...

This week, Adam discusses how worthiness comes from allowing God to seek and save us. This is a backward way that no human king would choose, but this is what makes God different. God is not a king who demands proof of worthiness. He is a King who seeks the lost to reconcile them to God's glory. We grow trust in God by allowing Him to seek and save us.

This week, Adam discusses spiritual warfare. Jesus gives us the best examples of how to respond to the devil when he tempts us. Jesus was tempted in every way that we are, and He was not at all tempted. Jesus knew who God is and the promises that He had made.

This week, Adam continues through the Luke series in Luke 3: 1-14. He discusses that Jesus came to seek and save all who are lost. God will come to chase us from our slavery, and slavery does not always mean hardships but also being stuck in comfortable places. Jesus teaches us to have freedom in the fire rather than being cozy in everyday life.

Adam Greenwell preaches on The weird week that is in-between Christmas and New Year's. Some refer to it as "Feral Week" as we are stuck between the hope, peace, joy, and love that Advent brings and the new year's resolutions. Adam asks a thought-provoking question; "Who is orchestrating your life going into 2025?" Coming out of Advent and into the new year, how will you answer this question?

Brad Hudson discusses the importance of love. We aren't geared to receive and love in the way that we are meant to. We get hurt and wounded, but knowing Jesus and God's true meaning and foundation for love, it is something we must practice and learn.

Brad Hudson discusses the importance of the true meaning of Joy. It is not fleeting; it is sound and secure in the sanctity of Christ and his promises to us.

Adam discusses how we as humans tend to look for peace in all the wrong places. Money, things, places, and even people aren't the best way to find peace. Seeking Christ is the only way to have true and sound peace. He points out that being comfortable does not mean we are at peace. If anything, comfort is an invitation to God to help us find true peace.

Adam discusses how Hope must be rooted in Christ rather than wishful thinking. Through Jesus's birth, we have a worthy point of confident expectation.

After reviewing all 10 commandments, Adam addresses the question, "Which One?" that was asked of Jesus when he said the commandments are the way to eternal life. The main point is that the commandments are not simply ways to act but how we are to condition our hearts toward life like Christ. It is not by acts that we enter the kingdom of God.

Adam discusses the 10th and final commandment: Thou shalt not covet. Adam makes the hard point that to covet is not simply to be jealous but rather to take control of God's creation and live in a fantasy world with another person's relationship or stuff.

Adam discusses the 9th commandment, "Thou shalt not lie." He explains that if we are apart from God and unaware and untrusting of his plans, we tend to be insecure and unsure of certain things. This leads to an identity issue, where we feel the need to be and say things that are not true.

Amid the chaos the week of the elections, Adam talks about how we need to keep our focus not on the stress of who is going to end up in office, but rather on what the plan of God is and how we can act accordingly to that plan. God has not left us and He is still actively reigning. He has a plan for what is to come.

Brad Hudson does an amazing job speaking about what Christ says about not lying.

Adam speaks on the hard topic of adultery. He talks about how our actions are our responsibility and are rooted in our relationship with God. To have lust in your heart or to commit adultery, you are dehumanizing the other person which God clearly states is a sin. This is also not only lusting after another but also includes acting in a minor that causes others to lust after you.

Adam speaks on the 6th commandment, Thou shalt not murder. He touches on the fact that murder, in this context, is not simply defined as ending someone's life. But it is our capacity to see others' lives as something valued by God. We are called to respect the Creator and His creation. If we devalue anyone else's life, we are devaluing the sacredness God places on life and the creation of life. Go...

Adam speaks on the Fifth Commandment, honoring thy mother and father. However, as Adam points out, this is more of a commandment for the parents than the children. Children aren't able to understand the weightiness of being a parent. As parents, we must foster an environment of love and God's glory and mold their self-image and self-worth. Once children can understand the weight of being a parent,...

Adam speaks on the Fourth Commandment, keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. In this sermon, he touches on Exodus 20: 8-11. Without allowing ourselves to rest in Christ on that seventh day in the way God created us, we are not allowing His full purpose to resonate in us. This world tells us to always be on the go when God has gifted us the amazing command to rest and to find peace.

The third commandment that Brad speaks on is that you shall not take the Lord's name in vain. This is because God is our Father and it shows that he is above all else.

Having no other gods before the Lord is not only because God is a jealous god and wants us to love Him alone, but it is also the center for having a balanced life and faith. Putting God as the center allows us to live harmoniously in every aspect of our faith.

Instead of ten rules given to Israel, we can look at the ten commandments as ten promises to guide us since we are anchored first in God's love. Exodus 20:2 (NLT)- I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery.

Gratitude is more than simply saying "Thank you" when someone holds the door for you. As Christians, we are called to be grateful in every situation and circumstance. Being grateful as Christians means having the ability to see that the things happening in our lives are working for God's will and not just our own.
