Vineyard Church Sunday Messages

The start of 2021 is a chance to dream big and envision what God has in store for our future. In this message, Senior Pastor Jim Bricker lays out the scope of our mission that Vineyard Community Church has always done and continues to do.

God never gives up on you! No matter what you do, His love never gives up. It’s wide enough to include everybody, long enough to last forever, high enough to be everywhere, and deep enough to meet any need. Join in for this message, where Senior Pastor Jim Bricker helps us to discover what God's love is and how that affects our values as followers of Jesus.

Did you know that God has five specific purposes for your life? Most people go through life never knowing what God has created them for, but God is very clear about it. In this message, Senior Pastor Jim Bricker walks us through these five life purposes based on God’s instruction manual, the Bible.

In life, it's always important to pause periodically and ask yourself, “Why do I do what I do?” In the same way, if you’re part of a church family, it’s important to stop and ask, “Why do we do what we do?” In this message, Senior Pastor Jim Bricker will walk us through what the church is all about, as well as five of the benefits of belonging to a church family.

Whether it's the change we look forward to or the change we never want to face, Pastor Elisha Hale shows us three ways through this famous New Testament story that God is the God of the Impossible Change.

Our joy is found in Jesus, who shows us where our focus needs to be. In this message, senior Pastor Jim Bricker helps us find clarity as we learn the secrets of living a joy-filled life.

When Jesus came to the world, He came to bring us hope. He came to give us purpose and shine a light on our life so we would know the right path to take. Join senior Pastor Jim Bricker as we discover how Jesus, the bringer of hope, dispels the darkness that so often surrounds us.

Jesus longs to meet us where we are—no matter what. To meet Jesus in our needs, we have to learn how to change our beliefs, surrender our lives, remember how God has come through, and ultimately, fight for our faith!

It's all about Jesus! Our life is best lived in a relationship with Jesus, and He gives us the gifts we need to live life to the FULL. Join senior Pastor Jim Bricker as we unwrap THE GIFT that Jesus gives to us.

Even in the midst of tragedy, Jesus was grateful. It's true that when we count our blessings, we can find joy and be thankful even during tough times. Join Pastor Jim Bricker to discover how having an attitude of gratitude will radically change our lives.

Jesus got angry. We can learn a lot when we understand why He did—and what He chose to do when He felt strong anger. Join Pastor Jim Bricker to see why, when we channel our emotions the right way, we can start to unite a divided world.

Jesus gave us the blueprint for how to manage our emotions—like worry, stress, and fear.

In this message, Pastor Jim Bricker offers a simple reminder to anyone feeling unsettled, depressed, anxious, or hopeless: God sees you. Cast your hopes, your cares, and your feelings on Him. He cares for you.

Discouragement can be debilitating. It can cause you to give up trying, give up hoping, and give up caring. The Bible has a lot to say about it, and in this message Pastor Elisha Hale will talk about how to rethink the things that discourage you.

We often get stuck in the same pattern when we’re tempted: good intentions, failure, and guilt. Maybe there are areas of your life you have habitually stumbled in, and you’re wondering how to get out of this cycle. The key to overcoming temptation is not to resist it, but to rethink it.

Have you ever noticed that your mind doesn’t want to obey you? That’s why it’s important to learn how to manage your mind. Because our thoughts control our life, our mind is a battleground for sin, but it’s also the key to peace and happiness. In this message, you’ll learn about three choices you must make every day for a healthy mind.

All the important things in life revolve around how you think about God — even if you don’t think about God at all. It determines the way you look at your problems, the way you look at your future, and the way you look at your relationships. In this message, you’ll learn about the lies we believe about God and discover the truth about Him that will set your free.

Have you ever gotten tired of making the same mistakes over and over? You can’t help but wonder, “Why do I keep falling for the same tricks? The same lies?” But if we really want to change our behavior, we have to change the way we think. It’s easy to conform to our old patterns of living, but God wants to transform our minds!

What does it mean to think like Jesus? Is it really possible to have his same thoughts, the same attitude, and the same reactions? In 1 Corinthians 2:16, Paul says, “We can understand these things, because we now have the mind of Christ.” In this message, Pastor Elisha Hale goes over what having the mind of Christ is really like.

Your mind is the greatest asset you’ve been given by God. You may not be able to control your life, but you can control your thoughts, and your thoughts have the power to shape the kind of life you’ll live.
