Vima Church Audio Podcast

Last year was rough, many of us took a Rocky-esk beating, but we believe God’s Word gives us some insight on how we can have VICTORY in our new year. In week one of this new series of talks, Pastor Jon shares from 2 Kings 13 and the story of Elisha's last miracle. We've got to keep striking the arrows to the ground because it ain't over.

This series of talks at Vima will take us through a beautiful process called Advent. Advent is an intentional season of celebration, anticipation, and preparation for the arrival of Jesus. In week four, Pastor Jon talked about love. Love is God, God is love. He showed us love when He sent Jesus to this earth.

This series of talks at Vima will take us through a beautiful process called Advent. Advent is an intentional season of celebration, anticipation, and preparation for the arrival of Jesus. In week three, Pastor Jon talked about joy. Happiness is determined by what's going on outside of me, joy is determined by who is living inside of me.

This series of talks at Vima will take us through a beautiful process called Advent. Advent is an intentional season of celebration, anticipation, and preparation for the arrival of Jesus. In week two, Pastor Jon talked about the peace we have as believers. Peace is not convincing yourself that everything will be ok. It's knowing that even when it's not ok, God is still in control.

There is one place in Scripture where we are asked to “test God”. When we tithe (give 10%) to our local church, God makes a promise to us to pour out His blessing. This is a covenant that God has made with us since Abraham.  Pastor Jon invited us as a church to do just this, to “test God” by committing to give back in tithe and to see if God doesn’t do what He says He will. We are encouraging the...

Is there a sweet spot where God’s blessing flows? If so, how do I get there and stay there? Is it bad to want more out of life? Does God want me to have more? Before you get weirded out, this isn’t going to be a discussion on “how to get rich” but on how to be blessed...and there is a difference.  In week one of this series, Pastor Jon talks about the heart of generosity. When we have gratitude in...

For too long the church has been silent about what society have been talking non-stop about. Not anymore. "The Naked Truth" is a series of talks on all things romance and relationship through a Biblical perspective. We can no longer be silent about what God's Word is clear about.  In week four of this series, Pastor Jon and Stephanie take the stage to have some honest conversations...

As the church, we grow in freedom through authentic relationships with each other. We believe that spiritual growth happens in circles not rows. We need each other to achieve all God has in store, to step into our full potential.

We are called to be a UNITED church in a divided world.  If we are truly called to bring the Gospel to the world we can not, in the same breath, cancel it. As the church, our posture is not to disown, disengage, or disconnect from the world we are sent to love. So what does that look like practically?  Pastor Jon brings a timely message on the call of UNITY for the church. Unity is first and forem...

In this sermon, Pastor Jon shares the heart behind our desire to be generational and what that means for you and your family. We are passionate about partnering with you for every season of your life to see you step into your potential and experience the real Jesus.

What if we told you there was one of the ten commandments that most Christians have no problem breaking? Life is busy, we all have a lot to do, chasing kids, dreams, homework, building our business, and more. Taking a Sabbath is something most of us just don't have time to do - but it's commanded. Is the sabbath just our day off or just the day we go to church or is there more to it than...

There is a specific type of worship God is looking for and it's not a particular genre of music or what we do with our hands during the singing at church (insert awkward Will Ferrel scene "not sure what to do with my hands"). What God is looking for in our worship goes beyond the outward expression and flows from deep within us. Pastor Jon breaks down what "true worship" l...

What does it mean to be a follower of Christ? What does it look like, sound like? In a world where most are trying to just fit in, how do we stand out but in a good way? This week, Pastor Jon answers some hard questions when it comes to the Bible. As believers, we follow God's Word but what do we do when we come across something we disagree with? Many think its a good book, but can we really...

What does it mean to be a follower of Christ? What does it look like, sound like? In a world where most are trying to just fit in, how do we stand out but in a good way? One of the things that sets Christianity apart from other religions is how we view God. He is not just some big, angry god looking to smite us or bless us but God is personal and desires to have an accessible relationship with you...

We wrapped up our series, “Whole World in His Hands” with 5 guest communicators from our Vima team preaching for 5 minutes in a day we called Five for Five.  God our Peace, our Strength, our Friend, our Deliverer, and our Healer. 

Now, more than ever, our world needs to experience and know that God is real, that God loves them, that God is powerful enough to do the impossible, and that God is in control. The problem for most is that it's hard to trust God fully when we only know Him partially. This week, we get to know God our Refuge with a special message from Pastor Stephanie. Learn how to find everything you need &q...

Wondering how you can have joy in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic, protests, and political uproar?! Pastor Jon preached a timely message from the book of Philippians on how we can choose joy through adversity, in purpose, and in serving. Joy is a supernatural response to natural hardship. 

We all have "Daddy Issues". Whether your dad was present or not, nice or angry, generous or abusive - the reality is our lives have been shaped by imperfect dads, moms, friends, bosses, etc. But the good news is for us, we have a good heavenly Father who has bridged the gap in your heart, has met your need for approval, has loved you when you were unloveable, has forgiven you, who create...
