Midtown Vineyard Church

Sunday Gathering September 14, 2025 Guest Jess Jackson (Matthew 5:13-16) Most of us feel too small to make a difference. Jesus says otherwise—you are salt and light, created to influence the world around you in ways you’ve never imagined.

Sunday Gathering September 7, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Matthew 5:3-12) We’re told a good life comes from success, money, and being in control. But why do the people who “have it all” still feel empty? Jesus calls the overlooked and underestimated “blessed,” revealing a different path to true happiness.

Sunday Gathering August 31, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Matthew 4:23-5:2) Most of us assume God’s way is for the ultra-religious or the morally polished. But Jesus opens his most famous sermon by gathering ordinary, broken, skeptical people. His way isn’t for the few—it’s for everyone.

Sunday Gathering August 24, 2025 Ryan Kenny (John 15) Everything around us tells us to try harder. Be better. Get it together. We live in a culture that runs on hustle — where identity and value are earned by effort, performance, and self-reliance. But what if the way of Jesus is different? What if transformation begins not by doing more, but by receiving what we could never earn? In this series,...

Sunday Gathering August 17, 2025 Cheryl Dueck Smith (Matthew 20:29-34) Everything around us tells us to try harder. Be better. Get it together. We live in a culture that runs on hustle — where identity and value are earned by effort, performance, and self-reliance. But what if the way of Jesus is different? What if transformation begins not by doing more, but by receiving what we could never earn?

Sunday Gathering August 10, 2025 Brian Ross (Proverbs 24:21, 32-34) In this series, we’re exploring the surprising, generous way of Jesus. He doesn’t meet us with shame, but with compassion. He doesn’t demand perfection, but offers a fresh start. He gives peace where we carry anxiety, rest where we carry exhaustion, and hope where we feel stuck. This isn’t about giving up — it’s about opening up....

Sunday Gathering August 3, 2025 Grace Berg (Luke 15:11-32) Everything around us tells us to try harder. Be better. Get it together. We live in a culture that runs on hustle — where identity and value are earned by effort, performance, and self-reliance. But what if the way of Jesus is different? What if transformation begins not by doing more, but by receiving what we could never earn?

Sunday Gathering July 27, 2025 Jon Jo (Psalms 145 ; Psalms 146)

Sunday Gathering July 20, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Psalm 139)

Sunday Gathering July 13, 2025 Kate Houk (Psalm 62 ) Sometimes life has us wondering- when is God going to show up and intervene? Waiting on God can be frustrating, lonely, and sacred. In Psalm 62, we are invited to wait in silence on God as our refuge and to pour out our hearts with him as our safe place.

Sunday Gathering July 6, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Psalm 8 ) From P. Diddy to Mother Teresa, people in crisis and people in purpose turn to one unexpected place: the Psalms. Why do these ancient poems speak so powerfully to our modern lives? Because these ancient songs know what it’s like to be human—and where to find God in it all. 

Sunday Gathering June 29, 2025 Ryan Kenney (Psalm 1) The Psalms are not polite. They rage, rejoice, accuse, confess, worship, and weep—sometimes all in one breath. They don’t sound like a church service; they sound like real life. If you’ve ever felt too angry to pray, too ashamed to hope, or too tired to care—the Psalms understand. And here’s the surprise: in all that raw, emotional honesty… God...

Sunday Gathering May 18, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Romans 12:6–8) You are wired to make a difference—and someone needs what God put in you.

Sunday Gathering May 11, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Romans 12:3–5) You don’t need to find your tribe—you were made for a body.

Sunday Gathering May 4, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Romans 12:2) I keep falling into the same patterns—can anything really be different? You don’t have to stay stuck—God can transform your mind, heart, and future.

Sunday Gathering April 27, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Romans 12:1) We live in a world that promises more — more success, more affirmation, more life — but somehow leaves us emptier than ever. What if the life you’re searching for doesn’t come from chasing more, but from giving yourself fully to something bigger? This week, discover how Romans 12:1 invites you to reclaim your true humanity and find the whole...

Sunday Gathering April 20, 2025 Ryan Kenny (1 Corinthians 15:1–58) Series finale of Creed: Resurrection of the body & life everlasting

Sunday Gathering April 13, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Matthew 18:21-35) In a culture obsessed with cancelation and revenge, forgiveness feels outdated or even unjust. But when the early church declared, “I believe in the forgiveness of sins,” they weren’t just talking about God’s mercy toward them—they were choosing to become a community marked by mercy. What if, the way in is the way on… and that way is fo...

Sunday Gathering April 6, 2025 Grace Berg (Acts 2) In a time and age filled with uncertainty, it is natural to need a sense of control, whether real or perceived. This can throw us into a life of reaching for and striving for what we think is best for us and for others. But, history tells you and I that what we think is best isn’t always best. What if the way forward isn’t more of what we think we...

Sunday Gathering March 30, 2025 Ryan Kenny (Ephesians 5:18) What if God isn’t distant—but closer than your next breath? What if the power to change, to heal, to live with purpose isn’t something you have to find—but Someone already reaching for you? Discover the presence of the Holy Spirit—real, active, and available.

Sunday Gathering March 23, 2025 Tim Geddert (Acts 1:1-11) The resurrection of Jesus is the culmination of all that preceded it, in God’s story of creation, Fall and redemption. And it is the essential foundation for all that follows, until all things are made new. In Jesus, one of us has already experienced what God has planned for all of us. Of this, the Ascension and Pentecost are the guarantees...

Sunday Gathering March 16, 2025 Tim Geddert (Ephesians 4:7-10 & I Peter 3:18-19) Jesus, God in the flesh, really lived, really died, and really rose again. All this, including what the Apostles Creed calls "descending into hell" accomplishes our salvation, inaugurates the new creation, and fills the whole universe with the good news of God's saving grace.

Sunday Gathering March 9, 2025 Ryan Kenny (John 13:6-17) In a time and age filled with uncertainty, it is natural to need a sense of control, whether real or perceived. This can throw us into a life of reaching for and striving for what we think is best for us and for others. But, history tells you and I that what we think is best isn’t always best. What if the way forward isn’t more of what we th...

Sunday Gathering March 2, 2025 Brian Ross Ever feel like your life is out of control? Would you consider this time in your life unsteady or maybe even crazy? We have a natural tendency that when things feel out of control, we try to gain control by any means necessary...but is that best?
