Billings Vineyard Church Sunday Sermons

John 1 & 2 Advent reminds us that love is God coming close. In Jesus, God didn’t love from a distance—He stepped into our mess, touched the broken, and stayed present. True love takes risks, refuses separation, and transforms us when we receive it and give it away.

Luke 1:46–55| John 4:1-30 | Luke 2:8–14 True joy is found where grace meets our story. In this sermon, Adam shows how joy doesn’t wait for pain to end—it appears when we recognize God at work in the middle of it. Through Mary and the shepherds, we see that God uses ordinary people and brings joy not by changing circumstances, but by awakening us to the bigger picture. All Things Vineyard: https://...

In our Advent series on Peace, we look at Luke 1:67–79 and Isaiah 11:1–9 and see that peace isn’t something we create—it’s something we receive. After 400 years of silence, Zechariah encounters an angel and is told he will have a son, John, who will prepare the way for the Lord. When Zechariah asks for a sign, God answers with nine months of silence—a forced surrender that forms a deeper peace. Wh...

As we begin Advent, Adam reminds us that hope starts in the dark—not when life is easy, but when we’re waiting for God to keep His promises. Isaiah’s prophecy and Mary’s story both declare the same truth: a light is coming. Biblical hope isn’t optimism or control; it’s trusting God’s character before we understand His plan. Like Mary, we learn to say “yes” to God in uncertainty, taking small steps...

This week, Pastor Adam continued our series by looking at Zechariah 9:9–10, Luke 19:35–42, and Revelation 19:11–16. He reminded us that the same King who once rode into Jerusalem on a borrowed donkey will one day return on a white horse. We live in the time between those two rides. Jesus didn’t come to conquer Rome but to conquer death. His kingdom advances through peace, love, and sacrificial aut...

Psalm 97:1-6 | Mark 4:35-41 | Revelation 1:12-18 God doesn’t promise a life without storms—He promises His presence in the middle of them. The darkness doesn’t hide Him; it reveals His nearness. The same King who commands the wind and waves still reigns over us today. Jesus’ silence in the storm wasn’t abandonment but an invitation to trust. We often fear God’s power because it calls us to surrend...

Ezekiel 37:1-14 | John 21: 1-19 Forgiveness isn’t just an idea—it’s an encounter. When we truly believe we’re forgiven, restoration begins. The King who reigns over death also rebuilds what’s broken, breathing life into what shame tried to destroy. Failure isn’t final—just as Jesus restored Peter, He restores us too. God doesn’t rebuild us to sit on a shelf; He rebuilds us to live restored and ren...

Daniel 3:13–30 | John 18:33–37 When faced with pressure to bow, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood firm—not in arrogance, but in freedom under the true King. Their obedience didn’t avoid the fire—it revealed who was already in it with them. Jesus doesn’t come to take sides; He comes to take authority. Idolatry isn’t loving bad things—it’s loving good things too much. False thrones promise peace...

Every crown the world has made comes at a cost, but none compares to the crown of thorns. Jesus, the servant King, conquered through surrender. His wounds bring healing, His silence speaks love, and His surrender is still our victory. The crown of thorns isn’t a symbol of failure—it’s the sign of a love that would rather bleed than abandon.

In this message, Adam explores the first of Isaiah’s “Servant Songs,” revealing how they point to Jesus—the One who embodies what Israel was always meant to be and what we are called to become. Spoken in a time of exile, corruption, and despair, these prophetic words remind us that God’s power doesn’t come through domination but restoration. Unlike the kings and empires of Isaiah’s day, the Servan...

In this week’s message, Pastor Adam reminds us that everything we crown will eventually fall short—because only God was ever meant to be King. From Israel’s repeated cycle of crying out for a rescuer, rejoicing, becoming complacent, and falling into chaos again, we see that humanity’s desire for control leads us away from faith. There was never a Plan B with God—His reign has always been the plan....

In this message, Rory Wilson invites us to view Psalm 23 through the eyes of the sheep—helpless, dependent, and fully reliant on the Shepherd. He highlights three key truths: 1. Sheep are foolish — prone to wander and make poor decisions, much like us. 2. Sheep are dirty — unable to clean or care for themselves. 3. Sheep are defenseless — weak and vulnerable without their Shepherd’s protection. Ro...

2 Corinthians 11:16 – 13:10 Preached by Adam The cross shows God’s victory in weakness, and Paul reminds us that our scars—like his—are not marks of shame but testimonies of God’s power. Instead of boasting in strength, we point to what Christ has done in our lowest moments. True faith bears fruit not through polished appearances but through surrendered lives where Jesus’ love shines through our s...

Adam preaches from 2 Corinthians 10–11, demonstrating how Paul exemplifies the way of Jesus through humble, sacrificial, and servant-hearted leadership. Rather than leading with control or pride, Paul points us to Christ’s gentle and humble heart (Matthew 11:29) and the call to walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). True leadership doesn’t seek self-indulgence or comparison—it serves, surrenders, and e...

We were honored to welcome Bryan McLees from Convoy of Hope as our guest speaker. Bryan shared how your Maundy Thursday giving makes a real difference across the world—feeding children in schools, training women to start businesses, equipping farmers to increase their harvests, and so much more. As a former Vineyard Pastor who has poured into raising up leaders within Vineyard churches, Bryan also...

This week at Billings Vineyard we celebrated 20 years of God’s faithfulness. Pastor Adam reflected on the journey of growth and pruning, reminding us that through it all, God has never left us. Looking forward, we are called to live beyond Sundays—embracing Jesus’ command to make disciples, His comfort and strength in every season, and His call to daily surrender and cross-bearing.

2 Corinthians 8:1–5, 9:6–15 Paul reframes giving—not as guilt or obligation, but as grace, joy, and worship. Using the example of the Macedonian church, which gave generously despite deep poverty and hardship, Paul shows that true generosity flows from a surrendered heart, not from abundance. Giving isn’t about paying God back or meeting His needs; it’s about transforming us. When we hold loosely...

2 Corinthians 6:3–10 Life with Jesus isn’t defined by ease, but by faithfulness in the midst of tension and trial. In this message, we are reminded that God does His best work in us not when life is easy, but when we surrender our strength to Him in the hard times. Tension is not a sign of failure—it is often the clearest evidence of faithfulness. Pressure will always tempt us to compromise, but t...

2 Corinthians 5:11–6:2, Mark 8:34–35 Why do we follow Jesus? Not out of pressure or performance, but because His love compels us. When the love of Christ fills our hearts, it transforms how we see the world and the people around us—not as threats, burdens, or projects, but as beloved children of God whom Jesus died for. Salvation isn’t the end—it’s the beginning. We are saved to be sent as ambassa...

(2 Corinthians 4:7–12) God often allows more than we can handle—not so we’ll push through alone, but so we’ll lean into Him and live in community. We are fragile jars of clay by design, holding God’s priceless treasure. Our cracks don’t disqualify us—they reveal His power shining through. Pain doesn’t cancel our calling; it deepens it. When we surrender, we discover true strength, allowing God to...

2 Corinthians 3:7–4:6 Even muddy puddles can reflect light—our lives don’t have to be perfect to reflect Jesus. Adam's message challenges us not to look back or live in old patterns but to fully embrace the new covenant. As we behold Jesus, we become more like Him. Bold ministry flows from that closeness—not from self-confidence, but from reflecting His light. You don’t have to create the light. J...

This week, Gary and Carolyn Ostlund share a powerful testimony of the pain they've walked through and the deep faith that’s carried them. As part of our Strength in Surrender series, Pastor Adam Greenwell reminds us that true strength often begins in vulnerability—when we open up about our struggles and allow God to meet us there. Scripture calls us to speak boldly of what God has done (Psalm 107:...

In this message, Jacob Troyer reminds us that life in Christ is not captivity—it’s freedom. We are rescued, cleaned up, and welcomed to the table, yet we often choose the world’s scraps over God’s feast. Even when we fail, we remain in God's victory parade. We are conquered territory, and through that surrender, His strength flows. Like perfume bottles, we carry the fragrance of Christ—broken or n...

2 Corinthians 2:1–11 God isn’t distant—He’s present and committed to restoring what’s broken. In this message, Pastor Brad Hudson shows how forgiveness is essential to healing and unity. Grief and division come from the enemy, but peace comes when we forgive as Jesus did. Forgiveness isn’t about feelings—it’s about obedience, repentance, and protecting the body of Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:1–11 In a world full of brokenness, suffering is something we all face—but it’s not a result of our performance or worth. This week, we explore how God meets us in our pain, not to remove it instantly, but to redeem it. From Job’s story to Jesus’ ultimate gift, we’re reminded that comfort comes through surrender and community. Even in the rubble, God is at work. He doesn’t cause ou...
