Lakewood Vineyard Sermon Podcast

We explore how easy it is to be “distracted by doing” for God while missing the invitation to simply remain with Jesus. Drawing from the story of Mary and Martha, John 15’s call to abide and bear fruit, and the honest struggle of walking through a “dark night of the soul,” Josh wrestles with questions of rest, action, pruning, and spiritual discomfort and invites us to see intentionality not as co...

This message unpacks what it means to live spirit‑led instead of passively shaped by the surrounding culture, especially at the start of a new year. Through practical teaching on habits, community, and the Holy Spirit, we invite you into intentional spiritual formation rather than quick-fix self-improvement. Choose practices that slowly, steadily form you into the likeness of Jesus.

This week, we trace how the Prince of Peace meets us in real chaos, grief, and doubt, offering a presence that holds us when nothing feels peaceful.

As we receive this peace that do...
