Sunday marks the beginning of Foster Care Awareness among churches across America. As many of you know, Foster Care is the primary local outreach that we devote time, money, energy, and resources to in our community. We launched this initiative in March of 2013, and the response of our people has been astounding. This Sunday, we will take time to focus once again on this primary ministry at Vintag...

This Sunday we will celebrate the signing of our contract on land (Can I get an Amen?!), and we will talk about the words, "I am here!" These are words that Jesus would speak to his disciples after his resurrection, but for us, it is important to recognize he is still saying those words to us... everyday!! We will look at Matthew 28:18-20 and see three key messages Jesus spoke, how earth shatterin...

This Sunday will be a time to focus on a primary ministry that was highlighted on Easter through the baptisms of many of our youth. Timothy Parker will be sharing a relevant message that will bring us closer to God's heart for His children and the ones that He loves.

The waiting is over...Jesus is Here! Sunday is our celebration of the Resurrection and the powerful reality that Jesus is here and He is with us! We can't wait to celebrate this day with you and to celebrate the baptisms of those who have committed their lives to Jesus and now want to share it with the whole world! We hope you can make it... It's going to be amazing!

No one likes "waiting." We live in a culture where instant gratification is expected and the idea of having to wait for anything seems painful. Yet waiting is a part of our life and especially a part of our spiritual life. How well do you wait? How well do you handle delayed answers to prayer? Focusing on James 5:7-11, this Sunday, we will talk about the difficulty of waiting, focusing on those wh...

This Sunday, we will consider what it means to live a life of worship, a life focused on the only One who is worthy of all praise. What is adoration, what place does it have in our lives, and what characterizes a life marked by adoration? We are also looking forward to an extended time of worship and hope you can join us!

We must resolve to positively influence those we are in relationship with, especially the children God has entrusted to us! In Matthew 16, Jesus asks the question, "Who do people say that I am?" The response is telling, as his influence was felt both in those who knew him well and those who didn't really know him at all. As we move forward in our Family Resolutions, looking at the influence of Jes...

Have you ever stopped to think about how much God loves children? He literally told the masses that if anyone caused one of his little ones to stumble that it would be better for that person if they just tied a massive rock around their neck and jumped into the ocean to drown. That is pretty severe, yet it shows that God is protective of and massively loves his/our children! On Sunday, as we conti...

This week, we will continue our series on Family Resolutions by asking ourselves the question, "What am I afraid of?" How would you answer this question?

The Bible has a lot to say about the way parents interact with children and about the way that the older interact with the younger. Join us this Sunday as we continue our family resolutions series and look at these intergenerational dynamics. We will seek to learn how we can foster community that both supports and encourages our children and students.

Please join us this Sunday as we devote ourselves to a time of focused worship and prayer!

What if you were only corrected and never affirmed? What if children were only corrected and never affirmed? I believe all of us would agree that the greatest way to influence someone is through more affirmation and less correction. Both are vital to our growth, but we often times have them out of balance. On Sunday, we will return to Deuteronomy 6:4-7 as we look at our responsibility to influence...

"Everything is wrong with my spouse!" So often when we look at our marriages, our greatest tension lies in our ability to focus only on our spouses' negatives and their need to change. It is like staring at a piece of salad stuck in the teeth of the person across the table from us and not being able to focus on anything he's saying because all we can see is salad! In marriage, we become so fixated...

Marriage and Relationships!!! Last week, we started a conversation about the Pillars of Marriage as we looked at Genesis 2:24-25 and God's eternal, foundational message about lasting marriages. We talked about the Pillars of Priority (God first and spouse second) and Pursuit (we must win our spouse every day). On Sunday, we will look at the last two Pillars of Possession and Purity from verse 25....

This week we will move forward in our Family Resolutions as we focus on marriages. The Shema from Deuteronomy 6 makes it clear that we must make God the center of our personal and family lives. In our culture today, no relationship in our family life is under greater attack than marriages, meaning in our marriages, we must make God the center of everything we do. This week, we will lay a foundatio...

Today, much is said and much is made in the church of having passion for Jesus. Most of us wouldn't disagree that we should be passionate for Jesus, but most of us, if we are being honest, would have to admit that it isn't as easy as it sounds. Come to Vintage this week to see what is meant to start and sustain our passion for Jesus.

As we come to the third Sunday of Advent, we turn our focus to Jesus' first coming. When thinking of what motivated the Father to send His son, we must remember God's faithfulness, his unswerving devotion to the ones he loves. On Sunday, we will look at the nature of God's faithfulness, how he expressed it at Christmas and how we should respond to his act of devotion.

"O come, O come Emmanuel..." The essence of this song speaks to hope breaking in at the first coming of Jesus at Christmas. He "ransomed captive Israel," "dispersed gloomy clouds," and freed us from "Satan's tyranny." Advent speaks to the fact that if Jesus came once and did these things, then we can rest assured that He will do it again! On Sunday, we will look at Romans 13:11-14, as we focus on...

This Sunday we want to hear from you! We have officially ended our study on Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and would love to hear stories of how God has been moving and is continuing to move in you! We can't wait to see what God have been up to and how He will encourage the body of Vintage through you. Before we leave, Steve will take time to focus on the two primary pillars of the book and our...
