Vineyard Community Church

Today, we unpack the fact that all believers are called to be on Kingdom Mission with Jesus. We look at the first Kingdom mission for a group of people, the twelve disciples, and the instructions Jesus gave them while they traveled from town to town healing the sick and sharing the Good News of God's Kingdom. We are called to do the very things the disciples did 2,000 years ago... The message is t...

As we start a new series we are looking at the model Jesus sets for the mission He has for us to join Him in. Who did Jesus come for, and how do we go about sharing the Good News of the Kingdom of God? Also, today is the day we are taking our Convoy of Hope One Day to Feed the World offering. Chip shares what this is all about, and how can we be part of this campaign in making a donation?

Chip shares with us the importance of being eager to help those in need, to remember the poor. Taking care of those in need is a core value of the Vineyard Movement, but more than that, it is the overarching theme throughout the entire Bible. Are we eager to help the poor? Because when we do we also reap the benefits of being taken care of by God!

Today is the day we report on what is happening with the three international missions we support with the Easter offering donated to these ministries every year. Chip reports on what is happening with the water filter project in Brazil. Steve Fitterer gives an update on the Jeremy Center feeding program in Haiti, and Kim Richardson shares of our first trip with Convoy of Hope and the women's empow...

Our special guest from Convoy of Hope, Bryan McLees, shares with us one of the most important aspects of the Gospel of Jesus, and that is to always remember the poor. The Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the Galatians how he has always been eager to help those in need. This is the example we as Christians should all follow.

As part of our partnership with Convoy of Hope and their "One Day to Feed the world" initiative, Chip interviews Bryan McLees from Convoy of Hope to better give an idea of what ONE DAY is all about, and also an inside look at what Convoy of Hope is doing around the world.

As we end our three-part series titled, “Climate Change,” we will be looking at the hope our faith in Jesus provides as we go through difficult seasons of life, and how God is always at work producing hope in us so that we can do the things He’s calling us to do.

In Part 2 of our “Climate Change” sermon series, we will look at how our identity in Christ plays a role in the climate others experience through us. Our security in Christ, or our insecurities often predicts how well we represent the Kingdom of God in our relationships.

In this new sermon series, we will be looking at how each one of us are responsible for the climate we bring into our relationships and interactions we have with people throughout the day. What is the impact we have on others when it comes to their experience with the Kingdom of God through us?

Thomas Dickson will use three examples from the Bible of characters who failed to give God the glory He deserves. Using these stories, we will see a pattern of how pride can lead to the downfall of a person when we fail to give God the glory He deserves.

As we end this series, Kristen Fitterer teaches how we can learn from Jesus by loving and restoring dignity to those around us who feel unseen, on the sidelines of life, or overwhelmed by all that life throws our way.

Kim Richardson continues our series titled, "Rooted in Christ"  on the mission of reconciliation by looking at how we can love others like Jesus loves them. Kim teaches how we can become intentional on restoring dignity and treating all people equal in the same way Jesus loves us.

As we begin a new series titled, "Rooted in Christ Jesus." Chip talks about how we all followers of Jesus have been given a task by God to reconcile people back to Him through Jesus. How can we represent Jesus in a way that draws someone into the Kingdom of Heaven, into a relationship with Jesus?

Pastor Mitch Price from Life Vineyard in Fairfield County uses the story of Moses to teach how God calls us to join Him in what He is doing, but like Moses, we often use excuses and allow our insecurities stop us from what God is calling us into. However, with God, He is always with us, and He is the One who gives us the ability to do what He's calling us into. We never go at it alone!

Our guest speaker Wade Coffey, lead pastor at Muskingham Valley Vineyard teaches on the ministry of reconciliation. When we are reconciled back to God through Jesus, we live in victory! Not a victory that is won by our own might, but a victory that was won, and paid for by Jesus, the One who reconciles us back to the Father. This is true victory!!

Kim Richardson shares about our partnership with Convoy of Hope, and the field teams mission trips we recently joined them on, both domestic and international. Kim also challenges us to listen for the call of God, and do the next kind thing that God puts in front of us. We can't do everything, but together, all of us can do something.

As we finish our series on seeing things the way God sees them. We look at the "million dollar question." Where is God in my trial, in my difficult chapter of life? We take a few different looks on how we can navigate through trials and look for God to lead us through.

As we continue our series on seeing through the lens in which God sees things through, we are looking at how God sees relationships, and how we can bring the same Kingdom of Heaven experiences we have into our relationships.

As we continue our series on how to see things the way God sees them, we look at how we can learn to see people with the same compassion and viewpoint God sees them with. Jesus came to the earth to sacrifice His life for all people. His love for humanity is that great, and He is looking for those willing to join Him reconciling others back to God the Father. Can we learn to love others in the same...

Today, we lay the foundation for a new 4-part sermon series on how we can see things the way God sees them. But beyond that, we also look at how God sees us. If we had a full understanding of how God sees us, instead of how we see ourselves, we would be unstoppable in our efforts when it comes to the things we set out to do, and also joining God in reconciling others back to Him through Jesus.

As we end this series, we look at how God is constantly searching for people to join Him in reconciling others back to Himself. The invitation to join God in His plan for mankind is always available, but the question is, are we willing to take the risks so others can experience the power of God's Kingdom here on earth?

As we finish the Lord's Prayer (Next week we end the series with the Doxology of the Lord's Prayer), we look at how Jesus is teaching us to ask God to help us stand strong and not give in to temptation, for God is faithful, and He will rescue us when we call upon Him for help. What does staying focused look like from a Kingdom perspective?

In this verse of the Lord's Prayer we move from receiving forgiveness from our Father in Heaven to extending forgiveness to those who hurt us. Today, we will unpack how important is it to God that we extend forgiveness to others, and how do we forgive in a way that keeps us on the path of finding freedom in Forgiveness?

As we get back in to our series on the Lord's Prayer, we unpack a topic that brings freedom in Jesus the way He intended for us to be free, and that is the topic of forgiveness. Forgiveness starts with confession and in confession healing can be experienced.

The Bible often uses doors as a metaphor to the many decisions, opportunities, and warnings we face in life. We can also use the Bible to help us navigate through these many decisions and opportunities (Doors) we face, as God is a generous God and He will not rebuke us for seeking His wisdom.
