Vineyard Richmond Weekly Message

When God put’s things in your hands, what do you do?

The Jesus you are looking for isn’t here. He doesn’t think like you do. He doesn’t act like you do. He doesn’t forgive like you do.

We serve a God who is a Promise Maker and a Promise Keeper, and none is so special as the promise that he made one night in Egypt.

It is Palm Sunday! We celebrate this yearly the week before Easter - we take time to remember Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Who will recognize the King, and who will worship Him?

It was the original plan for humanity to leave their families of origin, cement themselves to one another establishing a covenant relationship, and to become one flesh.

Intimacy means a closeness and familiarity with someone. This is seen during creation in Genesis and the creation of Adam. We were formed in intimacy and God still works that way.

Where do you like to linger? What are the places and times in your life, when you kind of wish time would stand still and just give you a few more seconds?

God interrupted the morning with a new message during the 11:15 service. What have you been crying out to God for that now is dead?

Paul tell us of all the gifts of the Spirit, love is the greatest!

This is one of those things in church that can be confusing and disheartening, as well as encouraging and uplifting. It tends to be highly polarizing, but we need to talk about it.

As a humanity, no one is harder on us than we are on ourselves. Don’t we have a million excuses not to take the shot at our dreams? A million excuses but not one real reason.

I am sure Gideon was planning on bringing much glory to God through a great victory. He and God were going to accomplish so much together. But as a follower of God, Gideon was trying to do too much. He was trying to do too much for God!

Marriage is meant to display a gentle, tender, thorough, and sacrificial love. Marriage is also meant to display a respectful submission - not an attempt to rule each other.

The choices we make often lead to the consequences we live. There, I said it.

We’re gonna talk about judging. If you have been hurt by church folks you may swing the pendulum too far and hear people say things like “No one gets to judge what I do.” “That’s not their place.” But here’s the thing. Judging isn’t wrong, we just need to get better at it.

John Elmer, our Super Regional Leader for Vineyard USA shares a word. What is your holy discontentment?

Sticks and stones will break your bones, but words can kill your whole future.

If you aren’t experiencing radical change in your life, you aren’t following Jesus.

“Where is the one born the King of the Jews?”

The King of the Universe got off the throne. From the highest high He came down.

Christmas is about God giving so we could give so others can receive and then, in turn, give.

What does the very first Christmas have to do with how we can help bring merry to our Christmases?

Boundaries aren’t anything new. In the beginning, God even created some boundaries for Adam and Eve. If we are going to have a merry Christmas this year, we will need to set boundaries.

Why did Luke see fit to include Simeon and Anna in the gospel account? I believe that their lives, at least what we’re told about in the little snippet we’re given, tell us a few things about people who have hope.

What do you hope for this Christmas?
