VG Placerville Sermons

Jesus is the Christ and He will build His church.

What we believe about Jesus shapes our life. He warns that false views lead to spiritual lifelessness, but seeing Him rightly leads to powerful new affections.

Jesus compassionately meets real needs to reveal that He alone fully satisfies. So come to the King and be satisfied.

Jesus delights to share His love where it is not always expected, and He celebrates the greatness of faith that clings to Him alone.

Jesus meets our doubts with Himself, so that our faith delights in Him as Lord and God.

Those who enjoy the greatness of the kingdom express it. So taste the kingdom and invite any and all to enjoy!

Jesus reveals that our hearts deceive and leave us dead. In His goodness He gives us a new heart that is ALIVE and delights in Him!

Tradition vs Transformation Jesus shows that replacing God’s truth with human tradition produces empty worship, but true and joyful worship flows from hearts shaped by Him and His Word.

Jesus allows storms in our lives to reveal who He is and to draw us into a deeper faith by drawing us to Himself.

In our inability, the kindness of Jesus welcomes us regardless of how inconvenient it may seem to Him. Jesus tells us to bring anything and anyone to Him where we can be fully satisfied.

We are passionate about building joy-filled communities of faith, whose very existence inspires individuals to live an abundant Christian life—made up of three key relationships: a deepening relationship with God (r1), a life-changing relationship with others (r2), and an engaging relationship with those yet to believe (r3).

Matthew shows us the clear difference between someone who treasures Jesus and someone who doesn't. Either we experience the emptiness of our own pleasures here and now or the fullness of joy now and for eternity. Experience the fullness of joy!

Knowing about Jesus is not the same as trusting Jesus. Jesus’ hometown crowd recognized His wisdom but refused to TRUST in Him and their unbelief closed them off to experiencing His work. Matthew urges us to move beyond recognition of Jesus to full allegiance and discipleship to Him.

There is nothing better than Kingdom Living! Missing it is the worst, but we happily give everything to enjoy it.

God’s kingdom advances quietly and steadily, often in ways that are almost imperceptible and that may appear insignificant, yet it is unstoppable and grounded in God’s eternal plan.

God allows good and evil to grow together for a time, but He alone will bring justice in the end. While we wait for that day, we keep sowing the goodness of the kingdom!

Jesus teaches that the kingdom grows not by our control of the soil, but by the power of the Sower and His seed, so we sow faithfully and rejoice when God brings growth.

Jesus uses parables to reveal His sovereign grace to those who cannot save themselves. The hardened can’t see, but offers it to those who receive it. So receive and ENJOY!

We need to be rooted in Jesus to actually grow.

A Savior is born! God gives Himself to us, and that’s where we find good news of great joy.

The tongue reveals what we treasure. Left to ourselves, our words destroy, but Jesus gives wisdom that brings a life of flourishing.

True faith is always demonstrated by action. What we do reveals what we truly believe.

Gospel joy grows in trials; as it is heard and obeyed, it transforms a community.

Kingdom over empire. God's faithfulness is not dictated by our circumstances.

The Sign That Points to the Savior God's sign is meant to draw us to Himself, not to serve ourselves.
