Vineyard Boise

Following Jesus has always been a shared journey. In this message from 2 John, we’re reminded that love and truth were never meant to be separated—and that staying faithful to the real Jesus often happens best in community, not in isolation. John’s words to a first-century house church sound surprisingly familiar as we navigate voices, opinions, and cultural pressure today. As we look to a coming...

What happens when God brings us back to the wheel? In this message from Baptism Sunday, we step into the potter’s house with Jeremiah and rediscover how God forms us over time—breaking down what’s dry and brittle, saturating us with His Spirit, and shaping us with care and intention. Clay is never wasted. No matter how many times it collapses, it can always return to the water. This sermon is an i...

As we step into a new season, this message invites us back to the simple, grounding pursuit of God’s presence. Rooted in Psalm 27, we’re reminded that David’s deepest desire wasn’t outcomes or blessings, but to dwell with the Lord and behold His beauty—right here, right now. This teaching challenges us to step off paths shaped by noise, habit, or imitation and return to heart-level renewal through...

What happens when the good news of Jesus doesn’t stop at the manger? In Luke 2:8–20, we watch the shepherds encounter the presence of God—and then do the most natural thing they can’t help but do: they tell someone. This message traces that same movement we see all through Scripture—ordinary people meeting Jesus in places of fear, shame, or longing, and walking away changed. Not polished. Not perf...

This weekend at Vineyard Boise, our Sunday gathering looked a little different—and a lot more joyful. 💛 Instead of a traditional sermon, our VB Kids filled the room with laughter, music, and truth through their Christmas play, “Dr. Newheart’s Christmas Cure.” What started as a playful story about the “Christmas Day Dumps” became a beautiful reminder—for kids and adults alike—that all the stuff, s...

In Luke 2, the angels meet ordinary shepherds and announce a joy that doesn’t depend on perfect circumstances. This week we looked at how their simple response—“Let’s go”—shows us where real joy begins: in the presence of Jesus. If you’re feeling stretched thin or running low on joy, this message invites us back to the One who meets us right where we are and anchors us in hope.

The Christmas story can feel so familiar that we forget how surprising it really was. This week we looked at Luke 2:8–20 and the moment God chose to announce Jesus’ birth—not to the influential or the religious insiders, but to a small group of shepherds working through the night. By choosing the lowly, God was showing us the heart of His kingdom: good news really is for all people, especially tho...

As we launch our new Christmas series “Holy Night,” we begin by stepping into the quiet, aching tension of waiting. This message looks at how God broke centuries of silence by speaking to two ordinary people—Mary and Joseph—and how their trust in His promises carried them through impossible circumstances. Their story invites us to examine our own seasons of waiting and to anchor ourselves in God’s...

We close out our Practicing the Way series with a simple truth: nothing grows alone. Just like fruit trees need each other to thrive, our spiritual lives flourish in real relationships. Looking at Jesus’ rhythm in Luke 6:12–16—the crowd, the seventy, the twelve, and the three—we’re invited to step out of spectator mode and into intentional community. If we want to be with Jesus, become like Him, a...

How do we actually grow to be more like Jesus? In this message, Pastor Trevor unpacks Philippians 2:12–13 and shows how spiritual growth happens through both God’s grace and our intentional cooperation. Using the image of marathon training, he shares how transformation takes practice, patience, and a plan — not striving, but structure. The early church modeled this “Rule of Life”: rhythms of praye...

We live in a world shaped by sin—but Jesus invites us to live differently. This message challenges us to face sin honestly: the sin we commit, the sin done to us, and the sin around us. Through Romans 12 and Jesus’ example, we discover that transformation doesn’t come from escaping the world, but from engaging it with a renewed mind. Practices like Sabbath, prayer, forgiveness, and confession beco...

What do we do when following Jesus still leads us into pain? In this message, we face one of the hardest truths of discipleship — faith doesn’t exempt us from suffering, but it transforms how we walk through it. Looking at Jesus in Gethsemane, we see Him name His pain, ask for deliverance, and still surrender to the Father’s will. God rarely sends suffering, but He never wastes it. Through C.S. Le...

What if rest is more than just stopping? In this message from Practicing the Way, we explore Sabbath as a rhythm of grace—an invitation to slow down, breathe, and realign with God’s heart. Sabbath isn’t about rules; it’s about renewal. Learn how this ancient practice can heal our hurry, quiet our anxiety, and restore joy as we learn to live at the pace of Jesus.

What if following Jesus isn’t about rules or boundaries, but about moving closer to Him? In this message from Galatians 5, we explore the powerful shift from a bounded to a centered faith—where the goal isn’t who’s “in” or “out,” but becoming more like Christ. Discover how the Fruit of the Spirit serves as evidence of a life transformed by the Holy Spirit, not a checklist to complete. This teachin...

This week’s message explores the honest tension Paul describes in Romans 7 and 8—the daily battle between who we were and who we’re becoming in Christ. Real transformation isn’t about trying harder or striving for perfection; it’s about surrendering to the Spirit and allowing God to do His work in us. As we yield to Christ’s lordship, we begin to experience the slow, beautiful process of becoming...

What if faith isn’t about who’s “in” or “out,” but about moving closer to Jesus? In this message, we look at Jesus’ call: “Come, follow me.” Through the story of Matthew the tax collector, we see how Jesus invites outsiders and insiders alike into His transforming love. Faith isn’t about keeping rules—it’s about reorienting life with Jesus at the center, letting His grace lead the way.

This Sunday we officially launched our new series and small groups: Practicing The Way. Guest speaker Jerry Reddix opened with a powerful message on Jesus’ invitation: “Follow me.” Through Peter’s story—marked by doubt and failure—Jerry reminded us that grace never stops calling us back. Following Jesus isn’t about perfection, but transformation: being reshaped through His love and learning to liv...

Sometimes the biggest threat to our faith isn’t opposition—it’s distraction. In Luke 10:38–42, Martha and Mary show us two very different responses to welcoming Jesus. Martha was overwhelmed by doing, while Mary chose to simply be with Him. This passage pushes us to wrestle with an honest question: in the middle of our busy lives, are we making space for what matters most? This message isn’t about...

What if following Jesus is less about “going to church” and more about stepping into God’s classroom every day? In this week’s message, we dive into Titus 2:11-14 and discover that grace isn’t just what saves us—it’s what trains us. The Sermon on the Mount becomes our lesson plan, shaping us into people of peace, forgiveness, and integrity in a world that tugs us the other way. This teaching chall...

This week, we wrapped up our Anchor Psalms teaching series with a deep look at Psalm 23 — a reminder that with the Lord as our Shepherd, we truly lack nothing. From green pastures to still waters, from the darkest valleys to a table prepared in the presence of our enemies, this timeless psalm calls us to trust God’s care, guidance, and provision in every part of life. Join us as we explore how His...

This week in our Anchor Psalms series, members of our VineArts team share a moving message from Psalm 34 — a psalm of worship and surrender in the middle of pain. Through real-life testimony and creative expression, we’re reminded that worship isn’t just for the mountaintop — it’s a lifeline in the cave. Like David, we can bring our brokenness to God and discover that He is close to the brokenhear...

In this week’s message, we explore Psalm 131—a short but powerful psalm that calls us to humility, contentment, and trust in God. Through the image of a weaned child resting with its mother, we’re reminded that true spiritual strength comes not from striving after big things but from quieting our souls and finding peace in God’s presence. In a world of chaos and ambition, this psalm invites us to...

When life feels overwhelming, Psalm 91 reminds us that God’s presence offers unshakable peace and confidence—even in the middle of life’s storms. In this message from Youth Pastor Josh Jensen and the FORGE Youth group, we see how King David’s words—written during a time of plague and personal failure—show that God’s faithfulness isn’t about avoiding hardship, but about walking with our Protector t...

In this Anchor Psalms message, we dive into Psalm 25 and the prayer life of David, learning how to seek God in seasons of fear and uncertainty. David’s response at Ziklag (1 Samuel 30) shows the power of pausing in crisis to find strength in God instead of reacting in panic. This teaching invites us to build a deep, daily life of prayer so we’re rooted in faith when trials come—not just reacting,...

We’re starting a new series called Anchor Psalms—an honest journey through the prayers that ground us. This week, we look at Psalm 52, where David responds to betrayal and tragedy not with revenge, but with trust in God. It’s a call to examine our own hearts, face the impact of deceit, and stay rooted in something deeper. Like a flourishing olive tree in God’s house, we’re invited to grow in His p...
