The Flowage

After laying the groundwork on water baptism in Part 1, Vinnie continues in Part 2 by sharing his personal testimony of receiving water baptism as a young adult—and the conflicting journey that led up to it. Using the marriage analogy and some other passages of Scripture, he closes the episode by emphasizing the profound significance of baptism as a sacred space where the spiritual reality of God...

In episode 7, we explored Jesus' invitation to enter the Kingdom of God through the New Birth—but we didn’t dive into the role of water baptism. In this two-part series, Vinnie breaks it down: What is water baptism? Why is it significant, according to Jesus and His early followers? And what are the two main perspectives on baptism within the church? Join us as we explore this important topic i...

The fourth and final video in this mini-series on the Kingdom of God is all about THE FUTURE—when God brings the fullness of the kingdom to Earth at the end of the Age, specifically at the resurrection and the "last day" . Vinnie confronts the traditional view of God's judgment being violent and tormenting and gives another option to consider that is Jesus-centered.

Jesus taught much about how the Kingdom functions in community, but He also taught that the Kingdom of God is something one enters. Jesus came to us with an appeal to not only do the work of the Kingdom, but to enter it as well, which requires action and a response on our part. In this episode, Vinnie explains what it means to and how to enter the Kingdom of God.

How does the Kingdom of God function in community? Vinnie zooms out of all of the parables and teachings that Jesus gave about loving others and offers four community kingdom principals that get to the heart behind what Jesus taught and did—intrinsic value and worth, self-sacrificial, responding in love toward others who do us wrong, and non-violence.

Jesus's ENTIRE ministry is centered around the theme of the Kingdom of God. So if we are going to consider becoming followers of Jesus, then we ought to try to find out what is the Kingdom of God. In this episode, Vinnie lays out a definition for the Kingdom, and then goes through the Gospels and the book of Acts to show what this kingdom looked like when Jesus and His followers preached, proclaim...

If Jesus thought He was God, then who was He praying to when He lived on earth? Vinnie breaks down the doctrine of the Trinity in five parts.

Jesus was a nice person who loved everybody, but who He thought He was will SHOCK you. Just a man? Just a prophet? The messiah? The promised, anointed one? Even more—God Himself.

After explaining how humans view the world and their attempts to explain evil, part two dives into the Biblical narrative for how the Old Testament viewed evil and who was responsible for it. Then, Vinnie opens up the pages of the New Testament to show how Jesus responded to evil and how He radically went against His own faith tradition in doing so.

This first post is part one of a two-part series on deconstructing and starting the idea of God from scratch, and looking at how humans have responded to the PROBLEM OF EVIL—both in the absence of an idea of a spiritual realm or god, and then with. This takes me a little while to go through, but I eventually finish by introducing the concept of LOVE, and explain that if we are going to be guided a...
