Vision Church Podcast

Are you growing in your faith, or just going through the motions? Following Jesus isn't about how long you've been a Christian or how much you know. It's about becoming more like Him. In Week 3 of Follow, we talk about what it really looks like to grow in Christ, let go of what's holding you back, and take your next step with Jesus

The Christian life is a fruitful life. We don’t manufacture the fruit; Jesus grows it in us as we remain connected to Him. This week in our Follow Series, we are reminded we are the branch and Jesus is the Vine. Abiding in Him is learning to live every day from the life we have received in Jesus! 

Knowing about Jesus and actually following Him are two different things. We can try to be good, do all the right things, and still miss what it means to truly know Him. In Week 1 of Follow, we look at why we all need God's grace, what Jesus did for us on the cross, and how genuine faith changes the way we live.

Does following Jesus change the way you show up at work? Whether you love your job, struggle with your boss, or just work to pay the bills, God cares about how you do your work. In "Is Jesus Up in Your Business?", we'll look at what it means to honor Jesus in our everyday work, even when no one's watching.

What does it look like to put Jesus first in our homes? In Colossians 3:18-21, we learn how love, leadership, and serving one another can help build marriages and families that reflect Christ.

Is Jesus really in charge of your life? Following Him should change how we treat others, how we forgive, and the choices we make every day. In Colossians 3, we learn what it looks like to let Jesus call the shots in every area of our lives.

When Christ moves in, your old life has to move out! Join us this week as we continue in our Jesus Over Everything series. We dive into Colossians, Chapter 3 - Paul reminds us of specific sins we must put to death. We should not look and sound like what we did before salvation. The Christian life is a beautiful union of both surrender and strategy, we must take up our cross daily! 

This world may be where we live, but it isn’t where we belong. Is This World Your Home? looks at what it means to be united with Christ—and how that changes the way we live right here, right now.

It’s easy to feel like we need to do more, experience more, or sacrifice more to be good enough for God. But we don’t have to prove ourselves—our security is found in what Jesus has already done.

In Colossians 2:6–15, Paul gives us practical lessons for how to live faithfully in Christ. Spiritual maturity doesn’t mean needing Jesus less, but learning to depend on Him more as we stay rooted and built up in our faith. We are warned not to be captivated by empty philosophies or counterfeits that pull our hearts away from Christ, because in Him we already have what we need most. Instead of str...

We will go through trials and tribulations while here on earth but doing so joyfully in Christ will lead others to God! Join us this week as we continue in the Series: Jesus Over Everything. This week we continue in the Book of Colossians and are reminded we are to live with no regrets, joyfully share the Gospel, no matter the cost.

In Gospel 101, we’re getting back to the heart of the gospel: who we were without Christ, what Jesus did for us, and who we are because of Him. Your past may be part of your story, but it doesn’t define you—Jesus does

When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, sometimes we need to stop looking around and start looking at Jesus. In Stop and Stare at Jesus, we’re reminded that our purpose, peace, place, and hope are all found in Him. Jesus + nothing = everything.

When you know Christ, it changes how you live. In week 2 of our Jesus Over Everything series, we look at Colossians 1:9–14 and how staying close to Jesus shapes our choices, gives us strength, and produces fruit in our lives. Following Jesus isn’t about trying harder—it’s about knowing Him more and trusting the One who saved us to sustain us.

If you want to be spiritually mature, you don’t need more than Jesus; you need more of Jesus! Join us this week as we start a new Series: Jesus Over Everything. We dive into the Book of Colossians and read what Paul has to say to the Church in Colossae. We are reminded that we only need Jesus and how we view ourselves and live our life will ultimately show others the God we serve. Jesus Christ has...

If sexual purity feels harder than ever, you're not alone. In this message from 1 Thessalonians 4, we talk honestly about temptation, pornography, and God's call to holiness.

How do you stop comparing yourself to everyone else? Comparison promises confidence, but usually leaves us feeling anxious, insecure, or never enough. In this message from John 21, discover why Jesus calls us to stop looking sideways and start following Him.

What if the waiting room is exactly where God wants to grow your faith? In this message from Revelation 3, we look at the church in Laodicea and how comfort, convenience, and constant consumption can slowly lead us to rely on ourselves instead of Jesus. Discover why waiting matters, how to invest in what lasts, and how God uses waiting to deepen our dependence on Him.

The world is teaching us to depend more on our devices than the Divine. Cell phones, computers, TVs and tablets can turn into a god when we are consumed by them day in and day out.

Additional Scripture References: 2 Corin...

What happens when the church prays together? In Acts 12, we see a church facing loss, fear, and uncertainty—but instead of panicking, they prayed.

What was on Jesus’ heart the night before the cross? In John 17, we get a rare glimpse into the prayer life of Jesus and discover what mattered most to Him. As we continue our Teach Me to Pray series, we’ll see how Jesus prayed from a place of deep relationship with the Father, prayed for His disciples, and even prayed for future believers like us. His prayer reveals God’s heart for our unity, joy...

Life is always busy and things are always happening... Is that causing you not to be in prayer or take time to be still and listen for God?

If we want intimacy with God, we must intentionally slow down and spend time with Him. Additional Bible References: Psalm 46:10, Eccle...

In week 3 of our Teach Me To Pray series, we look at what it means to adore God—not just for what He does, but for who He is. Through Psalm 139, we'll discover how God's perfect knowledge, constant presence, and unfailing love shape the way we pray. When worship leads our prayers, our hearts begin to ask for the things that matter most.

Waiting on God may take days, weeks or many years. As we continue in the series “Teach Me To Pray,” we are reminded in 1 Samuel that silence from God does not mean absence from God! While we are in the waiting, we are to put ourselves in the best position to see and hear from God. His plans and timing are best and we must trust Him!
