Vortex Church | Sermon Audio

We all want to know that our lives matter and that our efforts are making a difference. This Sunday, Pastor Kevin continues Chasing the Wind with a look at the pressure to make our mark—and the questions that surface when our accomplishments still don’t feel like enough.

There’s always another goal to reach, experience to have, or thing to add to our wish list—but why does “enough” seem so hard to find? Join us as Pastor Kevin opens our new series, Chasing the Wind, exploring an ancient question that still feels familiar today.

The way we see a king shapes how we respond to leadership. This Sunday, Pastor Kevin closes out Your Kingdom Come by taking us into a meaningful moment with Jesus that invites us to consider how we see God—and what that means for our lives.

Pastor Kevin Simmons shares an additional message in the Your Kingdom Come series.

Our lives are shaped by the choices we make, often in ways we don’t realize. This week, Pastor Kevin continues Your Kingdom Come with a look at an encounter in Jesus’ life that challenges us to consider the direction of our own.

Some questions reveal more than we expect. In Luke 18, a man comes to Jesus wanting to know how to inherit eternal life. Pastor Kevin will walk us through their conversation and the invitation Jesus extends to him—and to us.

We make decisions every day, but we don’t always stop to consider what’s shaping them. This week, Maddie Brown, our Student Pastor, continues Your Kingdom Come with a message that invites us to look beneath the surface of our everyday choices and consider what they reveal about our faith.

Sometimes the things we’ve heard most often are the things we need to hear with fresh ears. Join Pastor Kevin as we begin Your Kingdom Come and explore a familiar message from Jesus that may challenge our assumptions and change how we approach everyday life.

Sometimes the hardest part of faith is not starting the journey — it’s waiting in the middle of it. This week, Pastor Kevin is unpacking what God may be doing in seasons that feel slow, uncertain, or unfinished, and why those moments might matter more than we realize.

Sometimes the things God starts in our lives don’t happen the way we expected. What begins with excitement can quickly turn into waiting, setbacks, questions, and a process we didn’t see coming. Tonight, Maddie is going to unpack what it looks like to trust God in the middle of the process and believe that He’s still working—even when the dream feels delayed.

Growth rarely happens by accident—it happens through intentional choices, even in the moments that stretch us the most. This week, Regina Simmons will challenge us to look at what it really means to move beyond staying comfortable and step into the growth God is calling us toward.

Faith isn’t something that grows overnight. In every season of life, there are moments that stretch us, challenge us, and invite us to trust God more deeply.

Marriage doesn’t become healthy by accident — it grows through humility, honesty, grace, and learning how to grow together through every season.

Parenting—and really, influencing anyone—is full of moments we don’t feel ready for. It’s a mix of joy, pressure, growth, and letting go.
